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.

Jose Ruiz was prompt and professional. He installed a ceiling fan for me, and I was very happy with the result. I appreciated his attention to detail and pleasant demeanor. Will be scheduling for fuse-box upgrade with him soon.

Recently had major work done, main electrical panel outside and changing/updating bedroom fluorescents to led. Wow a lot but thankfully I had Joseph to help me thru it. He explained the entire situation to me, presented several options to me and answered all my questions. Hope I do not need electrical often but when I do Mr sparky getting my call. Exceptional service and the price was right.

Timothy Fernandez came out to our house to mount a TV above our fireplace. He was outstanding, explained the best solution. There was not an outlet above our fireplace. He wired an outlet and walked us through everything he did. Throughly explained the warranty. We will definitely recommend.

I had an emergency issue that required me to call an electrician rather than someone I knew. So I decided to find an electric company online that I thought would come by after hours (about 6:30PM) and let me just say, thank you Lord for having me call Mr. Sparky first. From the moment I got Autumn on the phone to having Stephen Uresti come out to the chaos I was dealing with, my experience was nothing short of amazing. I lost half the power going to my house not realizing the extent of how bad the situation was and Stephen made me feel at ease with getting everything fixed. I had to replace my main panel box outside as well as my inside panel box which was all an absolute disaster. Stephen was very communicative with me and helped me navigate my way through such a terrifying time and needless to say a huge financial decision. (Which was 100000% worth it) Not only did I receive excellent customer service from him but the meticulous work him and the guys did was 5 star. Stephen made sure my house was safe in the end and I can’t forget Robert Stewart and Tommy who did such an amazing job getting my panel boxes in and the beautiful workmanship they performed. Mr. Sparky, Stephen and crew, has not only saved my family and home, but restored my faith in humanity that there really are companies that care about people not just their pocket books. I’m proud to say I had work done by Mr. Sparky and will always call them first and recommend to anyone needing electrical work done in and on their home. What a fantastic crew I received who took care of me in such stressful traumatic time. 10/10 would recommend.

- Autumn Henderson

Frank was able to come out the day after we called and installed a GFCI outlet right where we needed it in our master toilet with no disturbance to the wider drywall. He also rerouted two wires that were a major tripping hazard up in our attic. Great service, would use again and recommend!
