Public chargers are slow, busy, and expensive. A home Level 2 charger gives you a full battery every morning at the cheapest electricity rate. The longer you wait, the more time you spend at public chargers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about residential EV charger installation in Northern Ohio homes.

What's involved in a home EV charger installation?
A typical home EV charger installation includes assessing your panel capacity, running a new dedicated 240V circuit to where you want the charger mounted, installing the charger itself (hardwired or via a NEMA 14-50 outlet), and testing the connection. Some installs also need a panel upgrade or service capacity upgrade. Every home is different. We provide a firm, no-obligation quote after the site visit so you know exactly what your project includes.
Which EV charger brands do you install?
We install all major Level 2 home chargers including Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, Wallbox Pulsar Plus, Enphase, Grizzl-E, and JuiceBox. If you've already bought a charger, we can install it. If you haven't, we'll recommend a model that fits your EV and your home.
Should I get a hardwired or plug-in EV charger?
Hardwired chargers connect directly to a dedicated circuit and can pull the full 48 amps that most EVs accept. Plug-in chargers use a NEMA 14-50 outlet and cap at 40 amps, but they're portable if you move. For a permanent home setup, hardwired is faster and meets the latest electrical code for outdoor installs. We'll recommend the right option based on your charger and where you want it mounted.
Can you install my charger in the garage or outside?
Both. We install Level 2 chargers in garages, on exterior walls, in carports, and on pedestals at the end of driveways. All of our outdoor installs use weatherproof boxes and follow current Ohio code so your charger handles rain, snow, and Lake Erie weather.
Will a Level 2 EV charger raise my electric bill?
Yes, but less than you might expect. Charging an EV at home is significantly cheaper per mile than gasoline. The exact monthly impact depends on your electricity rate, how much you drive, and your charger settings. Many Ohio utilities offer off-peak EV rates that further reduce charging costs. We can point you to your utility's EV rate plans during the site visit.
Do you install chargers for non-Tesla EVs too?
Yes. We install chargers for any EV brand including Ford, GM, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Mercedes, Rivian, Lucid, and others. Most non-Tesla EVs use the J1772 plug standard (transitioning to SAE J3400), and we install chargers that match. Tesla owners can use a Wall Connector or any J1772 charger with the included adapter.
