From a single home charger to a commercial charging bank, we handle the full installation: load assessment, panel capacity, dedicated circuits, and clean, code-compliant mounting. We're a licensed and insured electrical company based in NE Portland, with electrical contractors on both sides of the river.
We size the circuit correctly the first time, protect your existing panel, and make sure your charger runs safely and efficiently for years.
What an EV charger install costs
$600 – $1,400What our own customers actually paid for a Level 2 home install
Level 2 charger, panel nearby$600 – $900
Dedicated 240V circuit with a short run from the panel. This is the job we do most often — median $700.
Level 2 charger, longer or harder run$900 – $1,400
Distance and routing through walls, attic or crawlspace drive the price.
Charger plus panel workPanel price on top
When the panel has no capacity left, the upgrade is priced separately — see the panel page for those ranges.
Permit and inspection are part of the job. Charger hardware can be yours or supplied by us — we quote it both ways.
These ranges are a starting point, not a quote. The exact price for your job can only be set after we talk it through — call or send the form and you’ll have it as a free written estimate before any work starts.
Ranges taken from our own paid invoices, August 2024 – August 2026. 15 EV charger installs.
Two programs in our area pay for a home charger, and both of them require a licensed electrician to do the install. Neither is ours to grant — we just make sure you don't leave it on the table.

The charger has to be ENERGY STAR rated and Wi-Fi connected. A non-connected Level 2 or a mobile connector still gets $100.
If the charger itself cost under $500, your installation cost counts toward the rest of the rebate.
Up to two chargers per household.
Paperwork goes in within two years of the purchase date.
We fill the forms out and hand them over with your invoice and permit — the utility needs them submitted in your name, so we can't send them for you. Figures read off both utilities' own pages on 29 August 2026; programs change, so we re-check yours before you count on it. On a different provider? Say so in the form and we'll look up what yours offers.

01Does my panel have enough capacity for a charger?
We do a load assessment first — if capacity is tight, we can often upgrade the panel as part of the same job.
02Do you install Tesla and other brands?
Yes, we install Level 2 chargers for Tesla and other major manufacturers.
03Hardwired or plug-in outlet?
Depends on your charger and preference — we can do either a dedicated NEMA 14-50 outlet or a hardwired connection.
04Can you install charging for multiple units or a fleet?
Yes, we handle multi-unit residential and commercial fleet charging setups.
05Do I need a permit for a home charger?
Yes, and we handle the permit and inspection as part of the installation.
06Where can the charger be mounted?
Garage, driveway, or carport — wherever works for your parking setup.
07Do you install electric car chargers in a garage or outside?
Yes — most home EV charger installations go in the garage or on an exterior wall near where you park. We run a dedicated 240V circuit from the panel, mount the charging station or a NEMA 14-50 outlet, and pull the electrical permit. Outdoor installs use a weather-rated charger or outlet.
08Can you install a Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint or other brand of home charging station?
Yes. We install hardwired Level 2 chargers from Tesla, ChargePoint, Emporia, Wallbox and others, as well as a plain NEMA 14-50 outlet for a plug-in charger. If you already bought the unit, we install it; if not, we can supply one.
09How much does it cost to install an EV charger at home in Portland or Vancouver?
A Level 2 home charger install runs $600–$1,400 in our area: $600–$900 when the panel is in the garage, $900–$1,400 for a longer run or a harder route. That includes the circuit, the permit and the inspection. Clark PUD pays $500 back on a connected charger in Vancouver; Pacific Power customers in Oregon may qualify for up to $1,500.
10Do you install commercial EV charging stations?
Yes — workplace, multifamily and fleet chargers in Portland and Clark County, from a few Level 2 ports to a dedicated service for larger installations. Commercial EV charging is quoted after a site visit.
