EV charging
Chargers for every driveway and parking lot
Level 2 home chargers

Workplace and fleet
Level 2 stations for employees, tenants and fleet vehicles, with networked software for access and billing.
DC fast charging
Level 3 fast chargers for retail, travel and fleet sites, including the utility service they need.
Bidirectional charging
Vehicle-to-home setups that let a compatible EV help power your house during an outage.
Why homeowners pick us
Six reasons to hire us for your charger
Licensed electricians
Every install is done by licensed electricians who know your local code and your utility.
One clear price
Your quote covers the charger, wire, breaker, permit and any panel work found during the site check.
Panel work in-house
If your panel is full, we handle the load calculation, load management or a service upgrade ourselves.
Certified installer
We’re certified Tesla and ChargePoint installers, and we also install UL-listed chargers you already own.
Solar and battery ready
We size the circuit and panel so adding solar or a home battery later is simple.
Help with rebates
We point you to your utility EV rate or charger rebate and provide the details your utility asks for.
Done right the first time
The electrical work behind a good charger
Most of a charger install is the wiring, not the charger. Before we quote, we check your panel capacity, the run to your parking spot and what your utility allows. If your panel is full, smart load management or a service upgrade keeps you from paying for more than you need.
Our electricians pull the permit, install the circuit and charger, and stay with it through inspection. We can often install in under a week.
- ✓A load calculation on every job
- ✓SPAN panels and smart breakers when space is tight
- ✓Outdoor-rated installs for driveways and lots

Inspection

Pair it with solar
Run your car on your roof
A driver who covers about 12,000 miles a year uses roughly 3,000 to 4,000 kWh of electricity. Sizing your solar system with the car in mind covers that new load, and a home battery can store midday solar for evening charging.

How long does an EV charger install take?
Most home installs take a few hours to one day. We can often schedule within a week, and permits can add a few days depending on your city.
How much does EV charger installation cost?
It depends on the charger, the distance from your electrical panel and whether the panel needs work. After a quick site check you get one clear price that covers the charger, wire, breaker, permit and any panel work.
Do I need a panel upgrade?
Not always. We do a load calculation first. Many homes have room for a 40- to 60-amp circuit, and smart load management can often avoid a full service upgrade.
Which charger level do I need?
Most homes need a Level 2 charger on a 240-volt circuit, which refills most EVs overnight. See Level 1 vs Level 2 vs Level 3 chargers.
Can you install a charger I already bought?
Yes, if it is UL-listed. We confirm it works with your vehicle and the circuit we install.
Do you install outdoor chargers?
Yes. We install outdoor-rated chargers on garage exteriors, posts and pedestals.
Which states do you serve?
We install EV chargers for homes and businesses in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado and Michigan.
