Home EV Charger Installation Milwaukee & Waukesha
Tired of hunting for public charging stations around Milwaukee? Ready to wake up every morning with a fully charged car? Home EV charging installation eliminates the hassle of planning your week around charging stops.
Home Charging Beats Public Stations Every Time
Convenience That Changes Everything Imagine never stopping for gas again. Your car charges overnight in your own garage while you sleep. No more scheduling errands around charging station availability or waiting in line behind other EV drivers.
Public charging works fine for road trips, but daily driving is different. You need reliable charging at home where your car spends most of its time.
Cost Savings Add Up Fast Wisconsin electricity costs less than gasoline per mile driven. Charging at home typically costs 60-70% less than buying gas for a similar trip. Plus, many utilities offer special EV charging rates during off-peak hours.
Weather Protection Milwaukee winters are tough enough without standing outside at a charging station. Home charging means you stay warm inside while your car charges in the garage.
Level 2 Home Charging Options
Hardwired Charging Stations
These permanent units mount on your garage wall and connect directly to your electrical system. Popular brands include ChargePoint, JuiceBox, and Grizzl-E. They charge faster than portable units and often include smart features like scheduling and energy monitoring.
Tesla Wall Connector Installation
Tesla owners often choose the Wall Connector for its clean design and integration with Tesla’s software. The newer Universal Wall Connector also charges non-Tesla vehicles. Learn more on our Tesla installation page.
NEMA 14-50 Outlets
Some homeowners prefer the flexibility of a high-powered outlet instead of a dedicated charging station. This setup works with the portable charging cables that come with most electric vehicles. You can also upgrade to a faster charging station later.
Smart vs Basic Chargers
Smart chargers connect to Wi-Fi and offer features like scheduling, energy monitoring, and smartphone apps. Basic chargers simply provide power when you plug in. Smart features are convenient but not essential for most families.
What Ev Home Installation Involves
Electrical Assessment
We check your main electrical panel to see if it can handle EV charging. Many Milwaukee area homes have 100-amp panels that might need upgrading. Newer homes usually have plenty of capacity.
Distance matters too. The farther your garage is from your electrical panel, the more the installation costs. We measure everything during the free site visit.
Permits and Code Compliance
Milwaukee County and Waukesha County require permits for home EV charger installations. We handle the paperwork and schedule inspections. Each city has slightly different requirements.
Permit and Code Compliance
We install a new circuit breaker in your panel and run appropriate wiring to your garage. The charging station mounts securely on your wall at the right height for your vehicle's charging port.
Installation typically takes half a day. We clean up completely and test everything before leaving.
Safety First
All our installations include proper grounding and GFCI protection as required by electrical codes. We use weather-resistant components for garage installations and ensure all connections are secure..
