Home / EV Charger Installation
Fast, safe Level 2 charging installed at home, so you wake up to a full battery every morning. Professionally wired, permitted, and inspected across West Michigan.
A clear, no-surprises process from your first call to the final inspection.
In short: a home EV charger is a Level 2 (240-volt) station wired to a dedicated circuit in your garage or driveway. It charges most EVs five to seven times faster than a standard outlet, so you plug in overnight and leave every morning with a full battery. Most installs take a few hours, and we provide a flat quote after a free assessment.
Public charging is slow, crowded, and rarely where you need it. A home charger changes that: you pull into your garage, plug in, and wake up to a full battery, with no stations, no waiting, and usually a lower cost than gas or public charging.
We install Level 2 chargers on a dedicated, code-compliant circuit, confirm your panel has the capacity, and handle the permit and inspection. Whether you have a ChargePoint, a Tesla Wall Connector, or any other charger, we wire it in safely and cleanly.

Adds roughly twenty-five to thirty-five miles of range per hour, so most EVs charge fully overnight.

“Mike came out the next day to verify the location on a panel conduit leak. Very professional and explained in detail what needs to be done.”
“Mike and Grant were professional, communicated well, and got our service scheduled quickly. They fixed the wiring providing electricity to our garage.”
“Overall a great experience from start to finish. I needed an EV charger, an outlet, and a whole-house protection unit installed. It was so easy to work with Mike.”
Cost depends on the distance from your panel to the charger, whether your panel has spare capacity, and the charger you choose. After a free assessment we give you a clear, flat quote, with no surprises.
A Level 2 charger adds roughly 25 to 35 miles of range per hour for most EVs, so you plug in overnight and wake up full. Exact speed depends on your vehicle and charger.
Not always. We check your panel’s capacity during the assessment. If there is not enough room, we coordinate a panel or service upgrade so your charger runs safely.
Both work. Hardwiring gives a clean, permanent look and supports higher power; a NEMA 14-50 outlet lets you unplug and take a portable charger with you. We help you decide.
