EV Charger Installation

Add a Charging Station at Home with the Help of Our Electricians!

The world is entering a new era of transportation. As the capabilities of electric vehicles (EVs) increase, we are seeing more of them on the road and a greater demand for EV charger installation in people's homes. While electric cars offer an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional vehicles, it’s not always easy to charge an electric car from your home’s standard sockets. Recognizing this challenge, Mister Sparky® is dedicated to providing comprehensive EV charger installation services. Our professional installers are empowering homeowners to effortlessly set up home EV charging stations that ensure a faster and more convenient charging experience compared to standard outlets.

Types of EV Chargers

An electric vehicle’s ability to quickly recharge depends on two things: a home’s electrical supply and the EV charging unit used. EV chargers are broken down into three levels. Level one chargers are the slowest, while level three chargers are the fastest.

Level 1 Chargers

A level 1 charger comes standard with an electric vehicle. Because they use a home’s standard outlet, these chargers are most useful for slow overnight charges.

Level 2 Chargers

Level two chargers do their job faster but require an electrician for installation. These chargers need a dedicated 240-volt circuit to supply a current strong enough to charge an electric vehicle at a faster rate. Level 2 chargers can add approximately 70 miles of range for each hour of charging! These are the most popular options for home charging.

Level 3 Chargers

Level 3 EV chargers are incredibly fast but require an industrial supply of power, making them difficult for homeowners to install. These charging stations can recharge an electric vehicle’s battery to 80% in only 30 minutes. Level 3 chargers are not typically possible to install at home.

Choosing the Right EV Charger

Identifying your needs is the most crucial step in charging your electric car at home. While many people are fine with charging their car overnight with a level 1 charger, many prefer the flexibility provided by a level 2 charger.

When an installer comes to your home, they’ll help with the following issues related to EV charging stations:

Deciding your home’s ability to support a level 2 charger
Picking the right charger for your car model
Upgrading electrical systems as needed for safe operation
Home EV installation according to National Electrical Code and local codes
And more!

What Amperage Do I Need on My Breaker Panel for EV Charger Installation?

To install a Level 2 charger, you will probably need a 150 amp or 200 amp service. For 100 amp service or less, your EV or Tesla charger will probably take up too much capacity for your home. You may need to consider an upgrade for lower amp service. We recommend installing a 200 amp service to ensure you have enough capacity to handle the electrical demands of your home.

When we come to your home, we’ll provide the prompt and friendly service you need to know we’ll do the job right! Our team is always on time, highly-trained, and provides a 100% satisfaction guarantee for your peace of mind.

I needed a simple receptacle install to mount my LED mirror. Mr. Corey arrived to my house a lot earlier than expected. He was well mannered, knowledgeable, and easy going. Based on his work you could tell that it was professionally done and even cleaned up after himself. I will definitely be using this company so long as Corey works here. Thank you sir!

Julie Healy

I called Mister Sparky to install two pendant lights in my kitchen. Richard Cummings Jr. was my electrician and he did an amazing job. He was efficient, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable. Within minutes, I could tell that I had called the right company. I am very satisfied with my experience, and I would recommend Mr. Cummings and Mister Sparky to anyone. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Alicia Rojas

Earlier this month I had an excellent experience with Mister Sparky Electrical Services. Roberto Ramirez came out to my home and quickly found the solution to all my electrical problems. He replaced the main electrical panel with great skill and professionalism. I was very pleased with the quality of his work and his attention to detail. Highly recommend Roberto and the Mister Sparky team for any electrical needs!

Will Garcia

Roberto did a phenomenal job in restoring my electricity to rooms in my home. He explained clearly what the work would entail. The repair was quick and efficient and now I can finally enjoy having power back on. The outside surge protector is a great confidence booster because I know that my home is covered 100%. Roberto even fixed my 3 way dimmer switch. Everything works great now!
