What affects the price
Installing an EV charger isn't a one-size-fits-all job. The final cost depends on your home’s existing electrical setup and how much distance we need to cover from your panel to where your vehicle parks. If your electrical panel needs an upgrade to handle the extra load, or if the wiring requires trenching through concrete or drywall, those factors push the price higher. We evaluate your specific garage or driveway setup to provide a clear estimate. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Frequently asked in Athens-Clarke County
What's the difference between a charging station and a regular electric car charger?
A charging station, particularly a Level 2 home charger, is designed for faster and more efficient EV charging than a standard portable charger. Portable chargers, often called mobile connectors, typically use a 120V outlet and charge very slowly. A home charging station requires a dedicated 240V circuit and professional installation to ensure safety and speed. For regular use in Athens-Clarke County, a dedicated charging station is the most practical option.

Level 2 chargers use a 240V circuit and are much faster, making them ideal for home use. You'll also find DC fast chargers, primarily for public use, which provide the quickest charging speeds. For most residential needs in Athens-Clarke County, a Level 2 charger is the best balance of speed and cost.
