Types of EV Chargers We Install
Electric Car Charger Installation in Milwaukie, Oregon
We offer full-service installation for Level 1 chargers, Level 2 chargers, and Level 3 EV charging stations, based on your home or business needs.
Level 1 Charger Installation
Level 1 charging plugs into a standard 120-volt outlet (and in some cases, a 240-volt outlet, depending on the charger) and is a good fit for drivers with lighter daily mileage. It’s the slowest charging option, usually adding about 5–12 miles of range per hour, so it works well for occasional driving, long overnight charging, or as a backup option.
We’ll install the correct receptacle for your EV and confirm the circuit is properly protected for safe, steady charging. Want to improve your home’s electrical capacity overall? Check out our residential electrical services to see how we can help.
Level 2 Charger Installation
For most EV owners, Level 2 charging offers the best mix of speed and convenience. It uses a dedicated 240-volt circuit and is designed to recharge your vehicle overnight, often providing roughly 20–60 miles of range per hour.
Level 2 chargers are ideal for:
-
Daily commuters
-
Homes with multiple EVs
-
Anyone who wants faster, more dependable overnight charging
Our electricians can hardwire your charger or install a compatible 240-volt outlet. We can provide the EV charger or install a unit you already purchased. Many modern models also offer smart features like scheduling, usage tracking, and remote monitoring through Wi-Fi.
Level 3 Charger Installation
Level 3 chargers, also referred to as DC fast chargers, are typically used for commercial and industrial applications because they require high-voltage power (commonly 480V). They’re built for rapid charging and can replenish a battery in as little as 15–60 minutes, depending on the vehicle and equipment.
While not common in residential applications, we do offer Level 3 installations for businesses and commercial lots or industrial facilities. Our team can manage service upgrades, coordinate transformer access, and complete the electrical improvements needed to meet code and performance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to install a home EV charger?
Installation pricing varies based on your home’s electrical capacity, how far the charger is from the panel, whether trenching is needed, and if any upgrades (like a panel or breaker addition) are required. The best way to get an accurate number is a quick site assessment.
Do I need a permit for EV charger installation?
Many Level 2 installations require a permit and inspection because they involve a new 240V circuit or hardwired equipment. Permits help confirm the work is completed safely and to code.
Can my electrical panel support a Level 2 charger?
How long does the installation take?
What’s the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 charging?
Level 1 uses a standard outlet and charges more slowly. Level 2 uses a dedicated 240V circuit and charges much faster, which is why it’s the most common option for reliable overnight charging at home.
