Level 1 vs Level 2 home EV charging
Most EVs come with a cord you can plug into a regular outlet. That is Level 1. A Level 2 charger is what most people mean when they say home charger. We install ChargePoint home chargers and other Level 2 chargers.
Level 1: a regular outlet
Uses a standard 120-volt outlet. It adds only a few miles of range per hour, which can work for short commutes or a plug-in hybrid.
Level 2: a 240-volt charger
Runs on 240 volts, like a dryer or range. It charges several times faster than Level 1, so most drivers can plug in at night and leave with a charged car.
Can my panel handle an EV charger?
A Level 2 charger is one of the biggest loads in a home. Before we quote, an electrician runs a load check so we know your panel and service can handle it alongside everything else you run.
If there is room, the install is straightforward. If things are tight, you see the options in writing before any work starts. Leave the panel to us. We check it at the walkthrough.
- Your panel and service size
- Open spaces for a new breaker
- Big loads you already run, like a range, dryer, AC or hot tub
- The charger you picked and what circuit it needs
- How far the panel is from where you park
Garage, outdoor and detached-garage EV charger installs
Every charger gets its own dedicated circuit, run cleanly from the panel to where you park.
Attached garage
The most common spot. The charger mounts on the wall near where you park, often with a short run from the panel.
Outdoors or in the driveway
We use a charger and fittings rated for outdoor use, and mount it where snow shovels and plows will not hit it.
Detached garage or shop
Power has to reach the building first. That may mean a new feeder or a subpanel, and Colorado 811 marks underground utilities before any digging.
Smart panels and load management for EV charging
A full or older panel does not have to stop you from charging at home. We show you the options that fit your home.
Load management
Some chargers and devices can limit charging when the rest of the house is using a lot of power. It can help a tight service make room for an EV.
SPAN smart panel
See and control every circuit, including the charger, from your phone. Works with generators, batteries and EV chargers. See SPAN smart panels
Panel or service upgrade
When the load check says you need more room, a new panel sized for what you plan to add next. See panel upgrades
Surge protection
Your car and charger are a big investment. Whole-home surge protection at the panel helps protect them both. See surge protection

Cold affects range
EV batteries lose some range in cold weather and can charge more slowly when they are cold. Charging at home every night helps you start each day full.
A garage helps
Parking and charging in a garage keeps the battery out of the worst of the cold.
Warm up while plugged in
Many EVs can warm the cabin and battery while still plugged in, so you use power from the house instead of your range.
What affects EV charger installation cost
We don't guess over the phone. You get an exact written price before work starts. What moves it:
The charger you choose
ChargePoint or another Level 2 charger, and the circuit it needs.
Distance from the panel
How far the circuit runs to the garage, driveway or detached building.
Your panel
Whether it has room, or needs load management, a smart panel or an upgrade.
The location
Indoor, outdoor or detached-garage installs each need different materials.
EV charger permits in El Paso County and nearby
Permits, in plain words
A new EV charger circuit needs a permit and an inspection. We pull the permit with whichever office covers the job, whether that's the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department, Douglas County, Teller County or the State of Colorado, and schedule the inspection. Someone just needs to be home to let the inspector in.
Rebates and credits
Rebates and tax credits for home chargers change over time. We will help you check what rebates may apply before you buy.

How much does EV charger installation cost in Colorado Springs?+
It depends on the charger, the distance from your panel and whether your panel has room. After a free walkthrough you get written options, so you know the exact price before any work starts.
Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?+
Not always. We run a load check first. If your panel has room, we install the charger without an upgrade. If not, we show you the options, including smart panels and load management.
What's the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 charging?+
Level 1 uses a regular 120-volt outlet and charges slowly. Level 2 runs on 240 volts on its own circuit and charges several times faster, which is why most people choose it for home.
Do you install ChargePoint chargers?+
Yes. We install ChargePoint home chargers and other Level 2 chargers. We help you pick one that fits your car, your panel and where you park.
Do I need a permit for an EV charger?+
Yes. We pull the permit with whichever office covers the job, whether that's the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department, Douglas County, Teller County or the State of Colorado, and schedule the inspection.
Can you install a charger outside or in a detached garage?+
Yes. Outdoor installs use equipment rated for outdoor use. Detached garages may need a new feeder or subpanel, and Colorado 811 marks utilities before any digging.
Are there rebates for home EV chargers?+
Rebates and credits change over time. We will help you check what rebates may apply to your charger and install.
Should I add surge protection with my EV charger?+
We recommend it. Your car and charger are a big investment, and whole-home surge protection helps protect them along with everything else in your home.
