How to Install a Home EV Charging Point in the U.S.
Installing a Level 2 home EV charging point with a Type 2 connector is a smart investment for EV owners looking for convenience and cost-efficiency. Here’s a simplified step-by-step guide to how the process typically works in the United States:
Site Assessment and Preparation
Determine your parking setup: A fixed, private garage or driveway near your home’s electrical panel is ideal. Condos or apartments may require landlord or HOA approval.
Check electrical capacity: Most Level 2 charging point (240V) require a dedicated 40–60 amp circuit. An electrician will assess your panel’s load capacity. Older homes may need panel upgrades.
Choose charging point placement: Wall-mounted charging point near the parking spot reduce cabling costs. Outdoor installations require weatherproof units with NEMA-rated enclosures.
Hire a Certified Electrician
Professional installation is required to meet National Electrical Code (NEC) standards.
The electrician will:
- Install a dedicated circuit breaker
- Run appropriate gauge wiring (e.g., 6 AWG for 40A chargers)
- Ensure proper grounding and GFCI protection
- Mount the charging point and connect it securely
- Test functionality and safety compliance
Permit and Inspection
Most cities/counties require a permit for EV charging point installation. After installation, a local inspector may visit to ensure compliance with local electrical codes. Check with your local jurisdiction or electrician about the permitting process.
Cost Overview
- Equipment: Starting from $140, depending on features and output power
- Installation labor: $300–$1,200 depending on wiring distance and panel upgrades
- Permit & inspection fees: $50–$200 in most areas
- Total average cost: $800–$2,000
Tax Credits and Incentives
- Under the Inflation Reduction Act, you may qualify for a federal tax credit of 30% (up to $1,000) on home EV charging point purchase and installation.
- Additional rebates may be available from your utility provider or state government (e.g., California, New York, Colorado).
Optional Smart Features
- Wi-Fi/Bluetooth app control
- Scheduled charging for off-peak rates
- Load balancing for solar or battery systems
- Compatibility with Tesla (with J1772-to-Tesla adapter)

FAQ about Home EV Charging
How fast does a Level 2 charger actually work?
It mainly depends on two factors: your EV’s battery capacity and built-in charger specs. Our 7kW–11kW models typically add 25–50 miles overnight – enough to wake up to a full “tank” every morning.
Can I DIY install this charger?
Technically possible, but legally complicated. Most counties require licensed electricians for permits. We include step-by-step guides and video tutorials for your installer’s reference.
Pro tip: Have your installer check local permits first.
Will this work with my car?
f you drive a Tesla (with adapter), BMW, Audi, or most European/Asian EVs – yes. We use the universal Type 2 plug standard (IEC 62196). American Tesla owners just need a $50 adapter from Amazon.
Safe for outdoor use?
Absolutely. The military-grade IP65 casing handles Midwest snowstorms and Arizona heatwaves. Tested in extreme conditions (-22°F to 131°F).
Can I schedule charging for cheaper rates?
Yep. Our app lets you set charging times when electricity rates drop. Bonus: Solar users can prioritize green energy automatically.
