Relying on public charging stations can quickly become inconvenient. Installing an EV charger at home gives you the ability to plug in when you arrive home and have your vehicle ready when you need it again.
A professionally installed Level 2 charger can provide:
For many EV owners, home charging becomes one of the biggest conveniences of owning an electric vehicle.
Level 1 charging uses a standard household outlet.
It may work for drivers with limited daily mileage, but charging times can be significantly longer.
Best suited for:
Level 2 charging uses a dedicated 240V electrical circuit and provides significantly faster charging than a standard household outlet.
Ideal for:
Kilowatt Electric can evaluate your electrical system and recommend the safest installation approach for your home and vehicle.
Already purchased your charger? We can install customer-supplied charging equipment when appropriate.
Still deciding which charger to purchase? We can help you understand the electrical requirements so you can select equipment that works with your vehicle and your home’s electrical system.
Every home is different, which is why we evaluate both the electrical system and the charger location before installation.
Common installation locations include:
A wall-mounted Level 2 charger in the garage provides convenient charging and keeps equipment protected from the elements.
No garage? Many chargers are designed for outdoor use and can be installed on an exterior wall or other suitable location using properly rated equipment.
We can evaluate charger placement, wiring routes and electrical capacity for homes with covered parking or carports.
Detached garages may require a longer wiring route, additional electrical infrastructure or a subpanel depending on the existing system.
Adding a second EV can significantly change your home’s electrical load. We can evaluate available capacity and discuss options for supporting multiple vehicles.
1. Home Electrical Assessment
We begin by reviewing your home’s electrical system, the location of your electrical panel, the charger location and your vehicle’s charging requirements.
This allows us to determine the most practical wiring route and installation approach.
2. Electrical Panel & Load Evaluation
Before adding a Level 2 charger, we determine whether your electrical system has sufficient capacity to safely support the additional load.
If the panel has adequate capacity, we can proceed with the dedicated charging circuit.
If additional capacity is needed, we’ll explain your options before work begins.
3. Dedicated Circuit Installation
Level 2 chargers typically require a dedicated 240V circuit.
Our electricians install the correct wiring, breaker and required electrical components based on the charger manufacturer’s specifications and the needs of your home.
4. Permitting & Code Compliance
Where permits and inspections are required, we’ll ensure the electrical work is completed according to applicable electrical codes and local requirements.
5. Charger Installation
We securely mount and connect your charging station using clean, professional installation practices.
6. Testing & Walkthrough
Before we’re finished, we’ll test the system and make sure your new charger is operating properly.
We’ll also answer your questions so you’re comfortable using your new home charging station.
Installing an EV charger adds a significant new electrical load to your home.
That doesn’t automatically mean you need a panel upgrade.
The first step is determining how much electrical capacity your home currently has and how much of that capacity is already being used.
Older Electrical Panels
Older Western North Carolina homes may have electrical systems that were designed long before EV chargers, heat pumps, modern kitchens, hot tubs and other high-demand equipment became common.
A home with limited service capacity may require additional electrical work before an EV charger can safely be added.
Homes With 100-Amp Service
Having 100-amp service does not automatically mean an EV charger cannot be installed.
The total electrical load of the home needs to be evaluated before making that determination.
Panel Upgrades
If your existing service does not provide sufficient capacity, a panel or service upgrade may be one solution.
Increasing electrical capacity can also prepare the home for future additions such as:
Load Management Options
Depending on the home and charging equipment, load-management solutions may also be worth evaluating.
Kilowatt Electric will assess your specific electrical system rather than automatically recommending unnecessary upgrades.
Typical range: $3,250 to $5,750
This range may apply when additional work is needed before the charger can be installed, including:
Starting at $1,295
Typical Level 2 installation: $1,295 to $2,750
Pricing depends on factors such as:
Every home is different.
Kilowatt Electric will evaluate your project and provide clear pricing for approval before authorized work begins.
Homeowners throughout Western North Carolina choose Kilowatt Electric because we believe the quality of the installation matters just as much as the equipment being installed.

A typical Level 2 EV charger installation ranges from approximately $1,295 to $2,750. The final cost depends on the charger location, distance from the electrical panel, available panel capacity, wiring route and other project conditions.
If additional panel or service work is required, the overall project cost may be higher.
Most Level 2 home chargers require a dedicated 240V circuit.
Depending on the charging equipment, the charger may be hardwired or designed for connection through an appropriate receptacle.
Kilowatt Electric will install the circuit according to the charger’s electrical requirements.
Not necessarily.
We evaluate the electrical load and available capacity before recommending a panel upgrade. Many homes can support an EV charger using the existing electrical system.
When additional capacity is required, we’ll explain the available options.
Yes. Kilowatt Electric installs Tesla Wall Connectors as well as charging equipment compatible with many other electric vehicle manufacturers.
Yes. Many EV chargers are designed for outdoor installation.
We can evaluate locations such as exterior walls, driveways and carports and use equipment appropriate for the installation environment.
In many cases, yes.
We’ll review the charger’s electrical requirements and confirm that the equipment and proposed installation are appropriate for your home.
Many straightforward residential installations can be completed relatively quickly once any required permitting or scheduling requirements have been addressed.
Installations involving longer wiring runs, panel work, detached garages or other electrical modifications may require additional time.
Possibly.
Homes with two EVs require careful consideration of available electrical capacity and how the vehicles will be charged.
We can evaluate your electrical system and recommend an appropriate solution.
