Charge Your Electric Vehicle Safely at Home

Pro Power Electric installs residential and commercial EV chargers for homes, offices, and multi-use properties in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Your electric vehicle needs a dedicated charging circuit that delivers enough power to recharge the battery overnight without overloading your electrical panel or tripping breakers. Pro Power Electric installs Level 2 EV chargers in garages, carports, and parking areas throughout Charlotte, ensuring your charger connects safely to your home or business electrical system and meets National Electrical Code requirements. We evaluate your panel capacity, run wiring from the breaker box to your parking location, and mount the charger where it is easy to reach and protected from weather.

We start by confirming your electrical panel has enough available amperage to support a 240-volt charging circuit, typically 40 or 50 amps depending on your vehicle and charger model. If your panel is full or outdated, we discuss upgrade options before proceeding with installation. Once capacity is confirmed, we run conduit from the panel to your garage or driveway, install a dedicated breaker, and connect the charger according to manufacturer instructions. In Charlotte, we work with typical garage layouts and are familiar with permitting requirements for residential and commercial installations.

Panel Capacity and Wiring for Safe Charging

Level 2 chargers operate at 240 volts and require a dedicated circuit that supplies between 7 and 19 kilowatts depending on your vehicle's onboard charger and the amperage of the charging station. We inspect your electrical panel in Charlotte to verify it has open slots and enough total capacity to handle the new load without compromising other circuits. If your panel needs an upgrade or subpanel addition, we provide a cost estimate and timeline before moving forward with charger installation.

After installation, you will plug your vehicle in when you return home and unplug it the next morning with a fully charged battery. Charging times range from four to eight hours depending on your battery size and charger output, and you will avoid the inconvenience and cost of frequent trips to public charging stations.

We install chargers with built-in safety features such as ground fault protection, overcurrent shutoffs, and weatherproof enclosures for outdoor locations. If you want smart charger features such as scheduling, usage tracking, or mobile app control, we recommend models that integrate with your home network and help you monitor energy consumption. This setup gives you control over when your vehicle charges and helps you take advantage of lower electricity rates during off-peak hours.

Let Us Address Your Charging Questions

Homeowners and business owners preparing for EV charger installation often have questions about electrical requirements, charging speed, and cost, so we have answered the most common questions below.

What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 charging?
Level 1 charging uses a standard 120-volt outlet and adds about four miles of range per hour, while Level 2 charging uses a 240-volt circuit and adds twenty to sixty miles of range per hour. We install Level 2 chargers for faster, more convenient home charging in Charlotte.
How do I know if my electrical panel can support an EV charger?
We inspect your panel to confirm it has enough total amperage and available breaker slots for a dedicated charging circuit. If your panel is outdated or near capacity, we recommend an upgrade or subpanel installation to safely support the charger.
What permits are required for EV charger installation in Charlotte?
You need an electrical permit for any hardwired charger installation. Pro Power Electric handles permit applications, coordinates inspections, and ensures your installation meets local codes and manufacturer specifications.
How long does EV charger installation take?
Most residential installations take four to six hours depending on the distance between your electrical panel and charging location and whether new conduit or panel upgrades are required. We provide a timeline estimate after reviewing your property layout.
Why should I choose a hardwired charger over a plug-in model?
Hardwired chargers eliminate the need for a dedicated outlet, reduce connection points that can fail, and often deliver higher amperage for faster charging. We install both types and recommend the option that matches your vehicle, panel capacity, and budget in Charlotte.
