The questions homeowners ask us most often before booking an install.
Not always. Older homes with 100 A service often need an upgrade if you also run central AC, an electric dryer, and an electric oven. We do a load calc first to confirm whether your panel already has the headroom — if it doesn't, a panel upgrade is the fix.
NEC requires the breaker and wiring to be sized 125% higher than the charger's continuous output. A 32 A charger draw needs a 40 A breaker with 8 AWG copper; a 40 A draw needs a 50 A breaker with 8 AWG copper; and a 48 A draw, for higher-output vehicles, needs a 60 A breaker with 6 AWG copper.
Level 1 gives you 3–5 miles of range per hour. Level 2 gives you 12–60 miles of range per hour, depending on amperage. Level 2 is what most EV owners use for daily home charging.
NEMA 14-50 is more flexible (you can unplug, take the unit with you on a move). Hardwiring is cleaner, can support higher amperages, and is often preferred for permanent installs and outdoor wall-mounts.
Three reasons: no fleet-software subscriptions bundled in, one flat labor price instead of open-ended hourly billing, and materials sourced directly at cost (no 20–30% contractor markup). See the pricing page for how we determine your number.
Because the honest answer depends on your specific home. The wiring path from your panel to the charging spot, and the condition of your panel, both vary house to house — a per-foot or per-panel number would be misleading either way. We assess your home first, then give you one flat price before any work begins.
Even on the same street, homes differ in how far the wire has to run and what it has to pass through — open framing, an attic, or a finished wall all take different time and materials. Panel condition varies too. Whatever the number comes out to, it's fixed before we start — no changes once you accept the quote.
A straightforward Level 2 install on an existing 200 A panel: usually a single day. A full panel upgrade with utility coordination: 1–3 days depending on the utility's schedule for the service drop.
Yes. Residential is our core, but we install Level 2 stations at small commercial facilities. Let us know the site details on the contact page.
