EV charger installation in Dallas
Level 2 EV chargers for Tesla and every other brand, with load checks and permits.
Short answer: A Level 2 EV charger runs on a 240 volt circuit and charges most cars overnight. We check your panel capacity, run the circuit, install a hardwired charger or a 14-50 outlet, and pull the permit.
Level 2 charging adds roughly 20 to 40 miles of range per hour depending on the car and charger. Most chargers need a 40 to 60 amp circuit. The first question is whether your panel can carry it.
We do a load calculation, and if the panel is tight, we can add a load management device instead of an expensive service upgrade.

Typical Level 2 charger install
Long runs or panel upgrades are extra.
Picking the circuit size
Most Level 2 chargers can be set for different circuit sizes. A 40 amp circuit charging at 32 amps adds plenty of range overnight for most drivers. A 60 amp circuit at 48 amps suits long commutes or two EVs sharing one charger. If your panel is tight, a smaller circuit or a load management device avoids a service upgrade.
What moves the price
- Circuit size and distance from the panel
- Hardwired or plug-in charger
- Load management versus panel upgrade
EV Charger Installation in Dallas homes
EV ownership is growing fast across Plano, Frisco, Richardson and North Dallas, and many of those garages sit on 1980s and 1990s panels that were never planned for a 48 amp load. Incentive programs for chargers come and go, so ask us what is current when you call.
Questions people ask us
How long does it take to install an EV charger?
Most installs take half a day when the panel has room.
Should I hardwire or use a 14-50 outlet?
Hardwiring allows higher charging rates and avoids worn outlets. A 14-50 outlet is flexible if you may change chargers.
Can I install a charger without upgrading my panel?
Often yes, using load management. We check first.
