Waiting hours for your car to charge off a standard outlet is unnecessary and hard on your battery.

Every EV comes with a Level 1 charger: a cord that plugs into a standard 120V outlet and adds 3–5 miles of range per hour. For a short daily commute it might be enough. But if your range is higher, if you want to wake up to a full charge regardless of when you got home, or if you're running two EVs — Level 1 leaves you managing a charging schedule instead of just driving. A Level 2 circuit adds 25–30 miles per hour. Most cars charge overnight on Level 2 with hours to spare.
Even if there's an outlet in your garage, it almost certainly isn't wired for EV charging. Standard 15A or 20A circuits aren't designed for the sustained draw of a charger — they run hot, and the outlet degrades fast. Homeowners often use heavy-duty extension cords as a workaround. Extension cords aren't rated for 12+ hours of continuous current draw. The heat generated degrades the cord, the outlet, and eventually the connection — creating an arc fault risk in a space where flammable materials are stored. A dedicated 50A circuit eliminates all of that.

Before any charger goes in, we assess your panel. A dedicated Level 2 circuit needs an open double-pole slot — ideally for a 50A or 60A breaker. If your panel is at or near capacity, you have options: a panel upgrade, a load management device that shares capacity with another high-draw circuit, or a 30A circuit that still delivers significantly faster charging than Level 1. We give you the options and the prices. You decide what works for your home and your budget.
Installation starts with running the circuit from your panel to the charger location — usually the garage wall near where the car parks. We install a weatherproof outlet or hardwire the EVSE unit depending on your preference and charger model. The circuit gets a dedicated breaker, properly sized wire, and a NEMA 14-50 or 6-50 outlet if you need one. In Virginia, permits are required for new circuits — we pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and close it out. Most residential EV charger installs complete in a single day.

We install all major Level 2 EVSE brands — ChargePoint, Emporia, JuiceBox, Wallbox, and manufacturer-supplied units from Tesla, Ford, GM, and others. If you already own a charger, we wire the circuit and mount it. If you haven't bought one yet, we can advise on what fits your setup.
Yes — a new 240V dedicated circuit requires a permit in Falls Church and Fairfax County. We handle the permit application and coordinate the inspection. This protects you: a permitted circuit is documented, inspected, and covered by your homeowner's insurance.
Possibly yes. We assess your panel capacity and load first. Options include a panel upgrade, a smart load management device that shares an existing high-draw circuit, or a 30A circuit that still charges significantly faster than Level 1. We show you the options and prices — you decide.
Yes — we run the circuit from your panel to wherever the charger needs to be mounted. Most garage installs involve routing wire through the attic or along the wall, mounting the outlet or EVSE unit at the right height, and connecting the breaker. The location isn't a limitation.
Most residential Level 2 installs complete in a single day — typically 2–4 hours for the electrical work. The permit inspection happens on a separate scheduled day after installation.
