How long will it take to install an EV Charger?

Installation usually takes less than a day to complete. We would need to look at your specific project to determine installation time.

How much will it cost to install an EV Charger at my house?

Installation cost varies based on factors such as difficulty of installation, distance the EV charger is from main or sub panels, and whether the house requires a service and panel upgrade. However, simple installations start at about $600 plus the EV charger.

Do I need to upgrade my electrical service and panel?

Each house is different, and we would need to evaluate whether that is needed in your case. We only recommend upgrades when necessary, and we frequently utilize technology to minimize the need for upgrades.

How fast will my car charge with a Level 2 charger?

Charging speed depends on both the charger and your vehicle's onboard charger capacity. A 48A Level 2 charger (11.52 kW) can add approximately 35 to 40 miles of range per hour. A 60 kWh battery charges from empty in roughly 5 to 6 hours; a larger 100 kWh battery takes around 9 to 10 hours. Your car's onboard charger may limit the maximum draw, as many vehicles are rated at 7.2 kW or 9.6 kW regardless of charger output, and charging also slows as the battery nears 100%.

Do I require a permit to install an EV Charger?

In most cases an electrical permit is required. Main Line Charging handles all permitting requirements with the relevant townships and coordinates the final electrical inspections as required. The EV charger can be used prior to inspection; the final inspection closes out the permit with the township.
