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.
About this service
A Level 2 EV charger is a high-capacity unit that uses a 240-volt circuit to charge your vehicle significantly faster than a standard household plug. You need this if you want to charge your car overnight or need a quick top-up during the day. Installation typically involves upgrading your electrical panel or running a dedicated circuit to your garage or driveway. Pricing depends on your panel capacity and the length of the wire run; exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Frequently asked in Chesapeake
How long does it take for an EV charger to be installed?
What's the difference between a Level 1 and Level 2 EV charger?
A Level 1 EV charger uses a standard 120-volt outlet, like the ones you use for your toaster. It's slower, usually adding about 2-5 miles of range per hour. A Level 2 charger, which is what most Chesapeake homeowners opt for, uses a 240-volt outlet, similar to a clothes dryer. This significantly speeds up charging, often adding 20-30 miles of range per hour, making it much more convenient for daily use.

Can I install an EV charger myself in Chesapeake?
What factors influence the cost of installing an EV charger?
Several things can affect the final cost of your Level 2 EV charger installation in Chesapeake. The biggest factor is often your home's existing electrical panel and wiring. If your panel needs an upgrade or a new circuit, that will add to the cost. The distance from your panel to where you want the charger installed also plays a role. We'll give you a clear quote after we see your specific setup.
Are there any special permits needed for EV charger installation in Chesapeake?
What if my garage isn't close to my electrical panel?
If your garage in Chesapeake isn't close to your main electrical panel, it doesn't mean you can't get a Level 2 charger installed. The pros will run new wiring from your panel to the charger's location. This might involve running conduit through walls or attics. The complexity and length of the wiring run will be factored into your quote.
