Do I need a permit for EV charger installation?

What’s the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 chargers?

Level 1 chargers use a standard 120V outlet and provide approximately 3–5 miles of range per hour.

Level 2 chargers use a 240V circuit and typically provide 25–30+ miles of range per hour, making them the preferred option for daily home charging.

Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel for an EV charger?

Not always.

We perform load calculations to determine if your existing panel can safely support EV charging.

If additional capacity is required, we may recommend:

  • Panel upgrade

  • Sub-panel installation

  • Load management system

All recommendations are explained clearly during your estimate.

Do you include drywall repair after installation?

Yes. We offer optional drywall patching and finishing after installation to restore your garage or interior walls.

If you prefer to handle drywall repairs yourself, that option is available as well.

Are there any hidden costs?

No. Our estimates are transparent and outline all required aspects of the installation, including materials, labor, permits, and drywall patching when selected. Homeowners may opt out of certain services, such as permits or drywall repair, to reduce costs if desired.

How much does EV charger installation cost?

Installation cost depends on:

  • Distance from panel to charger location

  • Panel capacity

  • Required breaker size

  • Whether upgrades are needed

We provide free estimates to determine the exact cost for your home.

Will you repair drywall after the installation?

Yes. Drywall patching and finishing is available as an optional service after the installation is complete. Homeowners may also choose to handle drywall repairs themselves after inspection.
