A Level 2 EV charger runs on 240 volts and charges your car four to six times faster than a standard outlet, usually adding 25 to 35 miles of range per hour. Most modern EVs can fully recharge overnight on a Level 2 setup. Fresh Air installs Level 2 EV chargers for Glen Allen homes and the wider West End, including hardwired wall units, NEMA 14-50 outlets for plug-in chargers, and combined panel upgrade plus charger projects for homes that need more capacity.
A typical install includes the Level 2 charger (if you want us to supply it), a dedicated 50-amp circuit from the panel to the charger location, an outdoor-rated disconnect if code requires it, mounting hardware, and full electrical commissioning. We pull the Henrico County permit, schedule the inspection, and meet the inspector on site. If your existing panel can't handle the added load, we can fold a panel upgrade into the same project to avoid scheduling two separate jobs.
A straightforward EV charger install where the panel has spare capacity typically runs four to six hours. Longer cable runs or drilling through finished walls can push the job to a full day. A combined panel upgrade plus EV charger install usually runs a full day to a day and a half.
For Glen Allen homes, a straightforward Level 2 EV charger install on an existing panel runs $1,500 to $3,500 depending on cable run length and whether the charger is included. Combined panel upgrade plus EV charger projects usually run $5,000 to $10,000. The biggest factors are the run distance, panel capacity, and whether the service entrance and meter base need to be upgraded.
The federal 30C Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit covers 30% of EV charger installation costs (equipment and labor), capped at $1,000 for residential installs. The credit applies in eligible census tracts, which covers most of central Virginia. We give you the documentation you need to claim it.
