Frequently Asked Questions
How much will it cost to install an EV charger in my garage?
The cost of home EV charger installation varies widely depending on:
- Charger type: Level 2 chargers are more expensive than Level 1 chargers.
- Electrical work: If your electrical panel needs an upgrade or if the installation requires extensive wiring, the cost will increase.
- Permits and labor: Permit fees and labor costs vary depending on your location and the complexity of the installation.

Can I install an EV charger in my home myself?
Adding a 240v outlet or hardwiring a Level 2 EV charging station into your home’s electrical panel is a job for a licensed electrician like Graf Electric. An electrical contractor knows how to work safely with the high-voltage electricity necessary for your home EV charging station and ensure it complies with local building codes. Your electrician will pull the necessary permits and ensure your electrical panel can handle the load for your charger, which could involve adding more circuits.
How will installing an EV charger affect my home's electrical system?
A Level 1 charger, which is what’s usually supplied by the manufacturer with an electric vehicle purchase, can be plugged into a standard 120v outlet. However, it can take up to 20 hours to charge your vehicle from empty. That’s why many homeowners opt for a Level 2 charger, which can recharge your vehicle in 8 hours or less. A Level 2 charger requires either a 240v outlet or a hardwired connection to your home’s electrical system. This could mean adding additional circuits and upgrading your home’s electrical panel.
Are there any government incentives or rebates available for installing an EV charger at home?
Yes, there are often federal, state, and local incentives available to help offset the cost of purchasing and installing a home EV charger. These incentives can vary, so it’s important to research the specific programs available in your area.
