EV charger installation in Omaha

A standard 120-volt outlet adds only a few miles of range per hour, which is enough for some drivers and too slow for most. A Level 2 charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit and can refill a typical daily commute in a few hours overnight. The main questions are whether your panel has room for the new circuit and how far it is from the panel to where you park.

EV Charger Installation

Signs you may need EV charger installation

  • You've bought or ordered an electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid
  • Charging from a regular outlet doesn't keep up with your driving
  • You're running an extension cord to the car
  • You want a charger outside for a driveway rather than in the garage
  • You're adding a second EV to a home that already has one charger

What affects the price

Every home is different. These are the biggest factors in the price:

  • Distance from the panel to where you park, and the route the wire takes
  • Whether the panel has capacity and space, or needs load management or an upgrade
  • Hardwired charger versus a 240-volt outlet for a plug-in unit
  • The charger itself, if it's being supplied as part of the job
  • Outdoor installation, trenching to a detached garage, and permit and inspection fees
