A Level 2 EV charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit and charges 5-10 times faster than a standard 120-volt outlet, adding about 25-30 miles of range per hour. You need one when overnight charging on a wall outlet no longer keeps up, or before a new EV arrives. We install Tesla, ChargePoint, Wallbox, Emporia and the other major brands, check your panel capacity first, pull the permit, and most installations take 2-4 hours.

Pick what you're noticing. We'll tell you what it usually means, how urgent it is, and what fixes it.
A Level 2 charger needs a dedicated 240-volt circuit. Whether your panel can carry it depends on your service size and what else is already on it.

Typical job: 2-4 hours.
A licensed electrician visits your home to assess your electrical panel capacity, determine optimal charger location, measure conduit runs, and identify any obstacles. We'll discuss your EV model, daily driving habits, and charging preferences.
Based on your EV, driving patterns, and budget, we recommend the best charger for your needs. We explain the differences between hardwired and plug-in options, smart vs. basic chargers, and help you choose the right amperage.
Within 24 hours, you receive a flat-rate written quote covering all costs: charger (if we're supplying), circuit installation, conduit, permit fees, and any panel work needed. No surprises or hidden fees.
We pull the required electrical permit from your municipality. EV charger installations require permits and inspection in St. Louis and St. Charles counties. We handle all paperwork and schedule installation at your convenience.
Our licensed electricians install the dedicated 240V circuit, run conduit to your charger location, mount the charger (or install the NEMA 14-50 outlet), and make all connections per NEC code requirements. Most installations complete in 2-4 hours.
We schedule the required electrical inspection with your municipality. The inspector verifies proper circuit sizing, GFCI protection (if required), and code-compliant installation. We stay on-site to answer any questions.
After passing inspection, we configure your charger, connect it to WiFi, set up the manufacturer's app on your phone, and verify charging operation with your vehicle. We walk you through all features and answer any questions.
