A Level 2 EV charger uses 240 volts and charges an electric vehicle four to six times faster than a regular 120-volt outlet, generally adding 25 to 35 miles of range per hour. Most modern EVs fully recharge overnight on Level 2. Fresh Air installs Level 2 EV chargers for homes across Henrico County, from East End neighborhoods like Highland Springs and Sandston to West End areas like Tuckahoe, Lakeside, and Short Pump. We handle hardwired wall units, NEMA 14-50 outlet installs for plug-in chargers, and combined panel upgrade plus charger projects.
A typical install covers the Level 2 charger (if we supply it), a dedicated 50-amp circuit from the panel to the charger location, an outdoor-rated disconnect if required, mounting hardware, and full electrical commissioning. We pull the Henrico County permit, schedule the inspection, and meet the inspector on site. For older homes whose panels can't handle the added load, we can combine a panel upgrade and EV charger install into a single project.
A straightforward EV charger install on a panel with spare capacity runs four to six hours. Longer cable runs or finished-wall drilling push the job to a full day. Combined panel upgrade plus EV charger installs run a full day to a day and a half.
For Henrico homes, a straightforward Level 2 EV charger install on an existing panel runs $1,500 to $3,500. Combined panel upgrade plus EV charger projects run $5,000 to $10,000. Factors include cable run distance, whether the panel has open breaker slots, and whether the service and meter base need to be upgraded.
The federal 30C credit covers 30% of EV charger installation costs (equipment and labor), capped at $1,000 for residential installs. It applies in eligible census tracts, which covers most of central Virginia. We hand you the documentation you need to claim it at tax time.
