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.

We had a light switch on the fritz and were worried the wiring was bad. We called Mister Sparky in the morning and Brent answered promptly - he was great to communicate with and he was able to squeeze us into the schedule the same day. Robert and Jesse were excellent - very friendly, explained what was going on, estimate for repair, and everything was completed quickly. I'll definitely call on them again for any electrical work - very prompt, courteous, professional, and a pleasure to work with.

Bobby was super friendly and did a thorough inspection and found our electrical issue right away. I plan on hiring Mister Sparky again soon to install a light fixture. I would recommend this business without any hesitation. I had Bobby back to install the new light fixture. The service was fast and friendly. I’m very satisfied and glad they had time for a small job like mine. I had Bobby back again to make repairs from an electrical fire. We needed to replace circuit breaker, add arc-ground fault outlet for safety when using a space heater & add new wiring for a new wall outlet. After the fire I wanted peace of mind that the repairs would protect our home and I trust Mister Sparky for all our home electrical work.

BLUF--VERY satisfied with the service and the price! Was the second time we've used Mr. Sparky with excellent results. We had too many high usage appliances (air fryer biggest culprit) that were tripping the breaker. The owner is the one actually answering the phones, and when I explained what was happening, he was able to send Micah right away even though I didn't have an appointment, which was exceptional customer service! Micah and the crew diagnosed the issue, gave a several options with several price points, and actually fixed it immediately, even staying late on a Friday to make sure it was finished.

- Tina L

Mister Sparky did a great job installing some recessed lighting in our living room. Everyone we worked with was honest and knowledgeable. It was a hassle-free experience and I'll definitely work with Mister Sparky again for future electrical needs.
