EV Charger Installation
Charge Smarter, Drive Further
Electric vehicles are rapidly becoming the norm, and having a home charging station is the most convenient and cost-effective way to keep your EV charged. A Level 2 charger delivers 10–30 miles of range per hour of charging — far superior to the trickle charge of a standard 120V outlet. Charm City Electric installs Level 2 EV charging stations for all vehicle makes and models throughout the Baltimore area.

Level 1 vs. Level 2 Charging
A Level 1 charger uses a standard 120V household outlet and adds only 4–5 miles of range per hour — meaning a depleted battery can take over 24 hours to fully charge. A Level 2 charger operates on a dedicated 240V circuit (similar to a dryer) and delivers 10–30 miles of range per hour depending on the vehicle and charger amperage. For most EV owners, Level 2 is the only practical choice for home charging.
What Installation Involves
We run a dedicated 240V circuit from your panel to the garage or driveway where you'll park your vehicle. Circuit size is determined by your charger's requirements and your vehicle's onboard charger capacity — most installations use a 50-amp circuit for maximum flexibility. We mount the EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) on the wall and perform a full test before the job is complete. If your panel doesn't have available breaker slots or sufficient capacity, we'll address that as part of the project.
Smart Charger Integration
Many modern EV chargers are Wi-Fi enabled and can be scheduled to charge during off-peak hours when electricity rates are lower. We can assist with the installation of smart chargers from brands like ChargePoint, JuiceBox, and Emporia, ensuring they're properly grounded and protected.
