Charging Levels Explained

Level 1 vs Level 2 vs DC Fast.

Three ways to charge an EV. For home use, Level 2 is what 95% of EV owners install. Here's how they stack up.

Level 1

Standard 120V
Outlet

3–5 MILES / HOUR
  • Voltage120V
  • Amps12–16A
  • Full Charge20–40 Hrs
  • Install CostFree

Comes with the car. Plug the cable into a regular outlet. Way too slow for daily driving — only useful as a backup or for plug-in hybrids with small batteries.

Most Popular Level 2

240V Home
Charger

25–35 MILES / HOUR
  • Voltage240V
  • Amps32–48A
  • Full Charge8–12 Hrs
  • Install Cost$$ — Quote

The home standard. Plug in when you get home, wake up to a full battery. Compatible with Tesla, ChargePoint, Wallbox, and any J1772 EV. This is what we install.

DC Fast

Commercial
Supercharging

200+ MILES / HOUR
  • Voltage480V+
  • Amps100–500A
  • Full Charge20–40 Min
  • Install CostN/A

Highway-only. Tesla Superchargers, Electrify America, EVgo. Not for home use — they require commercial-grade 480V power that residential homes don't have.

Why 25–35 Miles Per Hour Is Plenty

The average American drives ~37 miles per day. Plug in at 6 PM, you're full by 8 PM. You almost never need a faster charger at home — Level 2 covers everything except an emergency cross-country trip, which is what public Superchargers are for.

What's Included

Every EV Install
Includes This.

We don't just slap a charger on a wall. Every install is engineered for safety, speed, and clean cosmetics.

Standard Inclusions

Everything You Get

  • Full Load Calculation We measure your panel's existing load before recommending charger size — no guessing, no surprises.
  • Dedicated 240V Circuit A new 40A or 50A breaker, properly sized wire, and a dedicated run from your panel to the charger location.
  • Hidden Cable Run Wire runs through walls, ceilings, or attics whenever possible — no ugly conduit on the outside of your house.
  • Charger Mounted & Tested Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, Wallbox, or any J1772 unit. Mounted at the perfect height. Tested with your car.
  • Permit Pulled & Filed EV charger installs require permits in Massachusetts. We pull, file, and arrange the inspection.
  • Town Inspection Coordinated Local electrical inspector signs off. You get the inspection sticker — proof the work meets code.
  • App Setup & First Charge We connect the charger to your home Wi-Fi, walk you through the manufacturer's app, and confirm the first successful charge before we leave.
  • 1-Year Workmanship Warranty Anything we installed covered for 12 months. Manufacturer warranty on the charger itself passed through directly to you.
Load Calculation

Will My Panel Handle It?

Level 2 chargers pull 40–50 amps continuously. That's almost half a 100A panel. We do a full load calc to find out if your panel has room — or if you need a panel upgrade first.

Sample 100A Panel 78A Used

Above 80% capacity is too tight for an EV charger. Many older homes need a panel upgrade before adding Level 2 charging.

If your panel is maxed out, we'll upgrade it to 200A at the same time. Best to do both jobs together — one permit, one set of inspections, less downtime.

Day Of Install

Half a Day. Done.

Most EV charger installs take 3–5 hours. Plug in tonight, charge overnight, drive Monday morning.

01
8–9 AM

Confirm Location

Walk through. Mark the spot. Plan the cable run.

02
9–10 AM

Add Breaker to Panel

Install the new 40A or 50A double-pole breaker in your panel.

03
10 AM–12 PM

Run the Wire

Hidden cable run from panel to charger location. Walls, ceiling, attic.

04
12–1 PM

Mount & Wire Charger

Charger goes on the wall. Connections made. Tested with your car.

05
1–2 PM

Inspection & App

Town inspector signs off. Wi-Fi setup. Cleanup. Done.

Power Stays On (Mostly)

Unlike a panel upgrade, an EV charger install doesn't require a full power shutoff. Only the panel itself is briefly de-energized while we add the new breaker — usually 15–30 minutes. Wi-Fi, fridge, work-from-home setup all keep running for most of the day.

Common Questions

EV Charger FAQs.

  • You buy it — but we'll help you pick. Most homeowners order their charger directly from the manufacturer (Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, Wallbox Pulsar Plus). You save 10–20% buying direct instead of through a contractor markup. We don't sell hardware — we just install it well.
  • Maybe. Level 2 chargers pull 40–50 amps continuously. If you have 200A service and a modern panel, you're almost always fine. If you have 100A service, you'll likely need a panel upgrade first. We do a full load calculation at the estimate so you know exactly what you need before any work begins.
  • Yes — anywhere. Inside an attached garage, detached garage, basement, carport, exterior wall, or even a freestanding pedestal. Most chargers are weatherproof and rated for outdoor use, so cold New England winters are no problem. We'll route the wire as cleanly as possible.
  • Most home chargers come with a 20-foot or 25-foot cable — plenty for a typical garage or driveway setup. If your parking spot is far from where the charger needs to mount, we can suggest a longer-cable model or a different mount location during the estimate. Plan for the cable to easily reach either side of your car in case you swap vehicles.
  • Possibly. The federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit can cover up to 30% of installation cost (capped at $1,000) for residential EV chargers in qualifying areas. Massachusetts also has Mass Save and utility-specific rebates that change throughout the year. We're electricians, not tax advisors — talk to your accountant or check massave.com and irs.gov for current details.
  • Yes. Almost every EV in North America uses one of two plugs — J1772 (Ford, Hyundai, GM, VW, Volvo, etc.) or the NACS / Tesla connector (Tesla and now Ford, GM, Rivian, etc. as automakers transition by 2025). Most chargers come with adapters or are convertible. Buy a charger with a J1772 plug + Tesla adapter and you're future-proof.
  • Cost depends on where the charger goes vs. where your panel is, the length of cable run, whether walls need to be opened, and whether you need a panel upgrade first. Simple installs (panel and charger on the same wall) are at the low end. Complex runs (panel in basement, charger in detached garage 80 feet away) are higher. The only honest way to give you a real number is to see the job in person — estimates are free and itemized.
