Level 2 Home Charging
EV Charger Installation in Binghamton, NY
Charge your electric vehicle at home — faster, cheaper, and more convenient than any public station. We install Level 2 chargers integrated with your home electrical or solar system across the Southern Tier.
Home EV Charger Installation
A Level 2 home charger delivers 25–40 miles of range per hour of charging — compared to just 3–5 miles per hour from a standard 120V outlet. Most EV owners charge overnight and wake up to a full battery every morning, no gas station required.
Installing a Level 2 charger requires a dedicated 240V circuit, which we handle as part of the installation. We assess your electrical panel capacity, run the circuit, mount the charger, and configure it with your vehicle’s app if applicable.
Pair your EV charger with solar panels and you’re driving on sunshine. At current NYSEG rates, charging an EV costs about $0.05–$0.08 per mile — roughly one-third the cost of gasoline. With solar, that cost drops to essentially zero.
We install ChargePoint, Tesla Wall Connector, Emporia, Grizzl-E, and other major charger brands. All installations include a dedicated circuit and a NEMA 14-50 or hardwired connection.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does EV charger installation cost?
A typical Level 2 charger installation in the Southern Tier costs $500–$1,500 for the installation (plus the charger unit itself, $300–$700). If your electrical panel needs an upgrade, that adds $1,000–$2,500.
Do I need a panel upgrade?
Not always. If your panel has available capacity for a 40–50 amp breaker, we can install without upgrading. Older homes with 100-amp panels may need an upgrade to 200 amps.
Can I charge from my solar panels?
Yes. If you have a grid-tied solar system, your EV charger draws from solar production during the day. With battery storage, you can charge from stored solar energy at night.
How long does it take to charge an EV at home?
A Level 2 charger (240V, 48A) adds about 30–40 miles of range per hour. Most EVs with 250–300 mile range charge from 20% to 100% in 6–8 hours — perfect for overnight charging.
