Wiring projects for EV chargers require specialized knowledge of local electrical codes, ensuring that the system is both safe and reliable. Our licensed team handles every detail, from selecting the right NEMA outlet or hardwired connection to ensuring the amperage is properly matched, protecting your electrical infrastructure. This guarantees optimal performance without overloading your existing system. - Electrical Load Calculations: Adding an EV charging unit requires careful consideration of your power load. We provide a detailed estimate after assessing your system’s capacity. Our team conducts thorough load calculations to determine the optimal placement and capacity of your charger, preventing issues such as tripped breakers or overloaded circuits.
If necessary, we also assess whether your system can handle the new demand or if upgrades are required. As part of our EV charger installation services, we can guide you through any service upgrade needed. This is a vital step for every home and business charging project, ensuring you have adequate power to run both your EV and your building’s existing needs. - Electrical Panel Upgrades: Electrical Service Upgrades: In some cases, adding an EV charging unit may require an upgrade to your electrical panel. Our team will assess costs and recommend the right service upgrade to bring your system up to the required capacity, so the new circuit is safely supported.
This step is especially important for older homes that may have outdated wiring. By upgrading your electrical service, you’ll be able to accommodate your EV charger and any future power needs, such as adding more energy-efficient equipment or home improvements.

How much does it cost to install a Level 2 charger in Denver?
Every EV charger installation is priced on the path between your panel and your parking spot more than on the unit itself. The biggest cost factors are the distance from the panel to the charger, whether your panel has room for a new 240-volt circuit, whether a service upgrade is needed, conduit or trenching for a charging station in a detached garage, and city permit and inspection fees. Our fully licensed electricians will install your charger only after a load calculation, so the estimate you approve reflects your actual home.
Rebates can lower the total. Xcel Energy offers an EV charger and home wiring rebate for qualifying Colorado customers that can go toward a Level 2 charger and the 240-volt circuit it needs, with larger amounts for income-qualified households. Some cities also run their own programs, so ask us about any current Denver EV charger rebate when you book. Amounts and rules change, so we confirm current terms with you before work begins and help you keep the paperwork the rebate requires.

Frequently Asked Questions About EV Charger Installation
Which home charger level suits my needs?
The two most common types of EV chargers are Level 1 and Level 2. Level 1 chargers use a standard 120-volt outlet and can take longer to charge your vehicle. Level 2 chargers run on a dedicated 240-volt circuit and can charge your vehicle much faster. A Level 2 unit is not a DC fast charger, but it can fully recharge most EVs overnight. Our electricians will assess your home's electrical system and recommend the right level for you.
Will my electricity bill go up?
Charging your EV will increase your electricity usage, but the overall cost depends on how often you charge and the energy efficiency of your vehicle. Charging at night or using off-peak programs offered by your utility company can help minimize the impact.
Do I need an electrical panel upgrade?
The ability of your electrical system to handle an EV charger depends on its capacity and the overall power load in your home or business. Most Level 1 chargers (120-volt) can typically be supported by standard wiring without requiring upgrades, but Level 2 chargers (240-volt) often need more power, which may necessitate a service upgrade. Our team will conduct a load calculation during the consultation to determine if your current system can handle the additional load, or if an upgrade is needed to safely support it. Contact our experts today to learn more and request a consultation.
What is the 80% rule for EV charging?
It has two meanings. For the wiring, the electrical code treats an EV charger as a continuous load, so the circuit must be rated at 125% of what the charger draws. Put the other way, the charger can use no more than 80% of its breaker: a 48-amp charger needs a 60-amp circuit, and a 40-amp charger needs a 50-amp circuit. For the battery, many drivers set daily charging to stop at about 80% to reduce long-term wear and save a full charge for road trips.
How long does a charging station install typically take?
Most home EV charger installations can be completed in a single day, though more complex setups or business installations may take longer. Our team will provide a detailed timeline during the consultation process.
Are rebates or incentives available?
Yes! Xcel Energy and other Colorado utilities offer rebates and incentives to help cover the cost of EV charger installations, and our team can assist you in identifying and applying for the right rebate to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. The federal home charger tax credit (30C) ended for chargers placed in service after June 30, 2026, so utility and local rebates are now the main source of savings. Contact Electric Doctor today to learn more!
Can a certified electrician set up multiple chargers at one site?
Absolutely. Whether you need multiple EV chargers for your home or a business property, we have the experience to install systems that can accommodate multiple vehicles at once. Our experienced electricians will assess your needs and help you determine the best course of action.
