EV Charger Installation — Frequently Asked Questions

How much does EV charger installation cost in New Canaan?

EV charger installation typically ranges from $800 to $2,500 depending on your electrical panel capacity, distance from panel to charger location, and whether a panel upgrade is needed. The charger itself is typically $400–$700. We provide a free site assessment.

Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?

Not always. If your panel has available capacity and a 40–50 amp breaker slot, a Level 2 charger can often be added without an upgrade. We assess your panel during the free estimate and recommend the most cost-effective path.

How fast will my car charge with a Level 2 charger vs Level 1?

A Level 1 charger (standard 120V outlet) provides about 3–5 miles of range per hour, taking over 24 hours for a full charge. A Level 2 (240V, 40A) charger adds about 25–30 miles of range per hour, fully charging most EVs overnight (6–10 hours) — about 5x faster.

Do you install chargers for all EV brands?

Yes. We install charging stations for Tesla, Ford, GM, Rivian, BMW, Mercedes, and all other EV brands. We work with ChargePoint Home Flex, JuiceBox, Grizzl-E, Tesla Universal Wall Connector, and any other EVSE you choose.

Are there Eversource rebates available for EV chargers in CT?

Yes, Eversource often offers rebates for installing qualified smart EV chargers at home, covering up to a certain amount of the charger and installation costs, plus potential incentives for off-peak charging. We help provide the necessary invoices and documentation for your application.

Do I need a permit to install an EV charger in Connecticut?

Yes, an electrical permit is required for installing a dedicated 240V circuit and EV charger in CT. We handle the entire permitting process with the town building department and coordinate the final inspection to ensure complete compliance.

Should I hardwire my EV charger or use a NEMA 14-50 plug?

Hardwiring provides a cleaner look, often allows for faster charging (up to 48A or 60A on a dedicated circuit), and eliminates the need for an expensive GFCI breaker. A NEMA 14-50 plug offers flexibility if you plan to take the charger with you when you move, but limits charging speed to 40A and requires a GFCI breaker per NEC code.
