As electric vehicles become increasingly popular in Wisconsin, having a reliable home charging solution is essential. Relying on a standard 120-volt wall outlet (Level 1 charging) can take up to 40 hours to fully charge some EV models. Home and Business Electric specializes in professional Level 2 EV charger installations in Waukesha County, allowing you to wake up to a fully charged battery every morning.

 

Our EV Charger Installation Process

 

Installing an EV charger requires specialized electrical knowledge to ensure your home's electrical panel can handle the continuous high-amperage draw. Our licensed master electricians follow a strict, code-compliant process. We begin with a load calculation — a thorough inspection of your electrical panel to determine whether it has the capacity for a new 50-amp or 60-amp dedicated circuit. If not, we will discuss options for an electrical panel upgrade. We then handle all necessary permits, run heavy-gauge wiring from your panel to your garage or driveway, install the dedicated circuit breaker, and mount your charging unit securely.

 

Brands We Install

 

We install all major brands of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), including Tesla Wall Connectors, ChargePoint Home Flex, JuiceBox, ClipperCreek, and NEMA 14-50 outlets for plug-in portable chargers.
