Charge at Home. Wake
Up Full Every Morning.
A Level 2 home charger delivers 25–50 miles of range per hour — a full overnight charge while you sleep. RO installs Tesla Wall Connectors, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, and universal NEMA 14-50 outlets with dedicated 240V circuits, panel capacity verification, and full code compliance. Stop paying for public charging.
EV Charger Installation
Guide
What It Is
A Level 2 EV charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit (like a dryer outlet) and delivers significantly faster charging than the standard Level 1 (120V) cord that comes with your vehicle. Most Level 2 chargers provide 25–50 miles of range per hour, meaning a full charge in 6–10 hours overnight. Installation involves running a dedicated circuit from your panel to the charger location, typically in your garage or on an exterior wall near your parking spot.
Charger Options
The Tesla Wall Connector ($425) is the best option for Tesla owners — up to 48 amps with Wi-Fi and app control. The ChargePoint Home Flex ($699) works with any EV, offers adjustable amperage (16–50A), and is the most versatile choice. The JuiceBox Pro 40 ($589) is a solid mid-range with smart features and scheduling. For budget setups, a hardwired NEMA 14-50 outlet ($200–$400 installed) works with any portable EVSE.
Cost & Requirements
Total installation cost ranges from $1,200–$3,000 depending on complexity. Simple installs (panel has capacity, short wire run to garage) can be under $1,500. Complex installs requiring a panel upgrade, long conduit runs, or trenching for outdoor runs push toward $3,000–$4,000. The biggest cost variable is the distance from your panel to the charger. A 30% federal tax credit applies to EV charger installation costs at your primary residence.
Why It Matters Here
Public chargers in the Upstate are still sparse and slow compared to home charging. A Level 2 home charger means you never visit a gas station or charging station again for daily driving. The average EV owner saves $1,000–$2,000 per year on fuel costs. With SC electricity rates well below the national average, your per-mile cost drops dramatically. The federal tax credit makes installation even more affordable.

Warning
Signs
You're charging on a standard 120V outlet (Level 1)
Level 1 charging delivers only 3–5 miles of range per hour. If you drive more than 30 miles daily, you're running a deficit that a Level 2 charger eliminates overnight.
Your charger trips the breaker when other appliances run
If you rigged a 240V outlet without a dedicated circuit, other loads on that circuit cause overloads. A properly installed charger needs its own dedicated breaker.
You're using an extension cord to reach your charging spot
Extension cords are a fire risk for EV charging — they weren't designed for sustained high-amperage draw. A hardwired charger eliminates this hazard.
You're spending $100+ per month at public chargers
Public charging typically costs 3–4x more per kWh than home electricity. A Level 2 home setup pays for itself within 12–18 months through fuel savings alone.
You're considering buying an EV but worried about charging
Home charging infrastructure should be installed before or right when you get the vehicle. We can assess your panel and install the charger before delivery day.
Your garage panel is maxed out
If your panel can't accommodate a 40–60 amp circuit, a panel upgrade or smart load management device may be needed before the charger can go in.

Tips
Our
Process
Panel & Site Assessment
We verify your panel has capacity for a 40–60 amp dedicated circuit, determine the optimal charger location, and measure the wire run distance. If a panel upgrade is needed, we scope that too.
Charger Selection
Based on your vehicle, driving habits, and budget, we recommend the right charger. We install any brand — Tesla, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Grizzl-E, or a simple NEMA outlet.
Circuit Installation
We install a dedicated 240V circuit from your panel to the charger location. This includes properly sized wire, conduit (where required), and a dedicated breaker sized to the charger's specifications.
Charger Mounting & Connection
The charger is mounted (wall or pedestal), hardwired to the dedicated circuit, and configured. We handle the Wi-Fi setup, app pairing, and any scheduling preferences.
Testing & Walkthrough
We test the full charge cycle with your vehicle, verify amperage draw, and confirm the app is showing correct data. You get a walkthrough of charger features, scheduling, and your tax credit documentation.
