EV charger installation

A Level 2 charger adds 20 to 40 miles of range per hour, against 3 to 5 on a standard outlet. The job is a 240-volt circuit from the panel to where you park, plus the charger itself. Most Douglas County homes can take one on the existing service, and some need a panel upgrade or a load-management device first. We do the load calculation before you buy anything, so you know which situation you are in.

Do any of these sound familiar?

Signs you need this

01

You just ordered an EV, or you are close

Get the load calculation done now. If a panel upgrade is needed, that is the long-lead item and it is better known early.

02

You are trickle-charging on a garage outlet

It works, barely. A Level 2 circuit turns overnight charging from "maybe enough" into "always full".

03

Two EVs on one 100-amp service

Usually needs either a service upgrade or a load-sharing setup. Both are straightforward once they are planned properly.

04

You want the charger away from the panel

Distance and conditions change the wire size and the price, so it is worth planning before the drywall or the concrete goes in.

What it costs

$650to$2,800

How the job goes

  1. 1

    We run an NEC load calculation on your panel and service to confirm capacity.

  2. 2

    We plan the route, the breaker size, and whether hardwired or a NEMA 14-50 outlet suits you better.

  3. 3

    We install the circuit and the charger, and configure any app or amperage limit.

  4. 4

    We test at full rated current and confirm the vehicle charges at the expected rate.

Permits and inspection

EV charger circuits are permitted and inspected in the Town of Parker, Douglas County, and surrounding cities. We pull the permit and meet the inspector. CORE Electric Cooperative and Xcel have both run EV rebate and time-of-use programs, so check current offers on the utility's own page before assuming an amount.

Mike Allan
We had a great experience with Allsafe Electric. At the initial consult, we discussed the work we wanted done, and Jud expertly explained the options for how he could get it done clean and cost effective. He didn't try to push or upsell anything. His estimate was clear and fair, and he was flexible when we asked to reschedule the date of work. Once scheduled he showed up right on time and did clean, quality work. The work included relocating our EV charger hookup, adding a new outlet, installation of both an interior and exterior ceiling fan box, a new ethernet cable plug, and a new outlet for an induction cooktop. Professional, communicative, and easy to work with. We'd absolutely use Allsafe again and recommend Jud to anyone in the Parker area.

Allsafe Electric is my go-to Electrician. Judson and Shawn are extremely responsive, and VERY customer focused. They also do great work and are reliable - they show up!! Timely!! For us, AllSafe Electric have installed an auxiliary service box, run new 50-amp circuits for an induction cooktop and EV charging, and performed general troubleshooting and repairs, all to our complete satisfaction.

We did not have power coming through a circuit in our garage. When I called on a Friday morning, I fully expected we would have to wait until after the weekend for an electrician to come out. But Jud was able to come diagnose the issue within just a few hours! I was very impressed, and so happy that he was also able to fix the problem very quickly. Jud was very professional, explained everything so well, and is very trustworthy.

I chose AllSafe Electric because their project proposal was the most detailed and comprehensive of those I received. Once the project began, I was thoroughly impressed by their expertise, workmanship, and attention to detail. An excellent experience. Most highly recommended.

Over the past couple years we have been stumbling through the repairs of construction defects. Many of those defects involved electrical. Along with new defects, we still have some old electrical that was not made up to date by the previous subcontractor. Judd and the AllSafe crew have helped navigate and make repairs as we find them. It’s been such a relief to have knowledgeable electricians help keep our family safe and regain some of our creature comforts. We appreciate knowing someone around we can count on for help. Thank you for your patients and empathy for us during all this. We really appreciates good people. Thank you. The Black Family

Common questions

How much does it cost to install an EV charger at home?

Most installs land in the range above. A charger on a wall near the panel sits at the low end, and a long run to a detached garage, or a panel upgrade first, moves it up.

Do I need a permit for an EV charger in Parker?

Yes. A new 240-volt circuit is permitted and inspected, and we handle that as part of the job.

Can my panel handle a charger?

Often yes. We do a proper load calculation rather than guessing, and if it is close, a load-management device can avoid a full panel upgrade.

Hardwired or plug-in?

Hardwired is cleaner and is required above 48 amps. A plug-in on a NEMA 14-50 lets you take the charger with you or swap it easily. We fit either.

Tesla or a universal charger?

Both are fine work for us. Universal J1772 or NACS chargers keep your options open across brands, and a Tesla Wall Connector is the tidiest option if you are staying with Tesla.
