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.

Call our EV charger installation electricians today from Mister Sparky® at (843) 507-4795. We’re ready to help you select a unit that works in your home and with your electric vehicle!

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.

Brian Condosta

Ethan did an excellent job explaining all the options that were available for the requested job. Ethan was professional and courteous during his time on my property and made me feel comfortable dealing with his company. I plan on using Mr. Sparky in the near future to complete my needs for outdoor power. His knowledge and wonderful attitude convinced me this was the right company for the job. The quote was free and I felt no pressure from Ethan, only kindness and willingness to help.

Ellen Burns

Had some issues after power surge with last night’s storm. They came out same day ( not sure that’s always possible ). Ethan was awesome! So helpful, professional and explained things so thoroughly! He even vacuumed up a little “dust “from his work!! Definitely will use Mr Sparky again for my electrical needs and will be sure to ask for Ethan!

Tatiana

Besides having the catchiest name ever, I was impressed with Mr Sparky’s professionalism and promptness. I called for an electrical diagnosis and Joseph Williams came with in a few hours. He was pleasant, explained the problem thoroughly and walked us through our options. Didn’t feel like I was getting a sales pitch, just an honest explanation from a professional. Fixed the immediate issue and booked us for the ling term fix. Highly recommend.

Tyler Addis

I called into report an outage to their 24-hour response team later in the afternoon. Nic showed up really quickly to help us get a diagnosis on the issue and schedule the next day for an amazing turn around time! He was extremely respectful and took amazing care of the scheduling, finding the issue and ensuring us it could be fixed. The next day Joseph and Gavin arrived on the scene and made light work of, what seemed to me, as a big job. Joseph and Gavin were fantastic! Super professional, efficient, and clearly know their stuff. They handled everything flawlessly and left the place spotless. Highly recommend these electricians – 5 stars all the way!

Nick called 30 minutes to arrival. He diagnosed the problem, explained the repair and finished within an hour. Great customer service and I’ll definitely continue to use Mr. Sparky for all future electronic issues at my home.
