EV Charger Installation in Lakewood Ranch, FL
EV Charger Installation Services
Thinking about installing an EV charger at home? As certified electricians, we make the process safe, efficient, and tailored to your needs. Here’s what you should know:
Types of EV Chargers
Level 1 (120V) – Trickle Charging
- Comes standard with most new EVs.
- Adds about 3–5 miles of range per hour of charging.
- Best suited for plug-in hybrids or drivers traveling less than 50 miles per day.
- Simple, low-cost option but requires overnight charging.
Level 2 (240V) – Fast Home Charging
- Adds 15–35 miles of range per hour, depending on your vehicle and charger.
- Charges most EVs in just a few hours versus overnight.
- Ideal for daily drivers, longer commutes, or multiple EV households.
Recommendation: For most EV owners, a Level 2 charger is the best long-term solution for convenience and flexibility.

Smart Features
Today’s EV chargers often integrate with smartphone apps to help you:
- Monitor charging in real time
- Manage charging schedules remotely
- Review energy consumption
- Receive notifications when charging is complete
Most EV brands—such as Tesla, BMW, Ford, and VW—offer their own companion apps for added convenience.
Indoor vs. Outdoor Installation
- Indoor: Protects your charger from weather and theft. Great if you have garage parking.
- Outdoor: Convenient if you park in the driveway. Requires a weather-rated charger and proximity to your electrical panel.
We’ll help you choose the best location based on your parking, security, and panel placement.
Electrical Panel Considerations
Installing an EV charger adds a significant electrical load. That’s why a licensed electrician should always perform a load calculation to determine if your panel can handle it.
- In some cases, a panel upgrade may be required.
- We also offer solutions to avoid a full-service upgrade, depending on your setup.
Rebates and Incentives
You may qualify for federal tax credits, state rebates, or utility company incentives when installing a Level 2 EV charger. Programs vary by location—check with:
- Your local electric utility
- The State of Florida website
- Federal tax credit resources
- Your tax professional
