Home EV charging, installed the right way

A Level 2 charger cuts your charging time dramatically, but the charger is only half the job. Your panel has to have the capacity to feed it safely. We check both and install it to code.

What to think about before you install

  • You bought or ordered an EV

    Home charging is the daily convenience that makes ownership easy.

  • The charger company said it is simple

    It can be. It can also require panel work. We tell you which before you buy hardware you cannot use yet.

  • Your panel is older or full

    A Level 2 charger is a significant load. Capacity has to be there or added.

  • You want it in the right spot

    Charger placement, cable reach, and a clean run matter for daily use.

What is included

  • A panel capacity check

    We confirm your panel can support the charger, or scope the upgrade if it cannot.

  • A dedicated circuit

    A properly sized, dedicated 240-volt circuit for the charger.

  • Clean installation

    A tidy run and secure mount, placed for how you actually park and plug in.

  • Code-correct work

    Permitted and inspected where required.

Permits, code, and inspection

EV charger circuits are permitted work in most cases. We pull the permit when required and schedule the inspection, so the install is documented and correct. This matters for safety and for any manufacturer or utility program that asks for proof of a code-compliant installation.

What happens after you reach out

  • 1. Capacity check

    We assess the panel and confirm it can feed a Level 2 charger, or scope the upgrade.

  • 2. Quote

    You get a clear price covering the charger circuit and any panel work.

  • 3. Install

    We run the dedicated circuit and mount the charger where it works for you.

  • 4. Test and inspection

    We test the charge and schedule the inspection where required.

What affects the price

  • Panel capacity

    Whether the panel can feed the charger as-is or needs an upgrade first.

  • Run length

    How far the charger is from the panel and how the cable routes.

  • Charger hardware

    Hardwired versus plug-in, and the amperage of the unit.

  • Finishes and access

    Drywall, conduit, and whether the run is exposed or concealed.

What affects the timeline

When the panel already has capacity, many charger installs are a single-visit job. If a panel upgrade comes first, we sequence that, plus its permit and inspection, before the charger goes in. We lay out the order up front.

Scope: Residential Level 2 EV charger installation across Columbia and Mid-Missouri. Panel upgrades handled in-house when needed.

Questions homeowners ask

That is the first thing we check. A Level 2 charger is a large, continuous load. Some panels feed it as-is; others need an upgrade first. We run the numbers before you commit.

Sometimes. The charger mounts easily, but it needs a properly sized dedicated circuit and enough panel capacity. When those are in place it is straightforward. When they are not, the panel is the real job.

Both are valid depending on the charger and your setup. We will walk through the trade-offs so you get the one that fits.
