Plugging into a regular outlet adds only a few miles of range per hour. A Level 2 charger on a 240-volt circuit can fill most cars overnight. Our Orem electricians check your panel, run a dedicated circuit, mount the charger and handle the permit. Many installs can be scheduled within days, with same day panel checks when we have openings. Emergency at night? An electrician near you answers 24 hours a day.
Level 1 vs Level 2 charging at home
Most new EV owners start with the cord that came with the car. Here is why most switch to Level 2.
| Level 1 | Level 2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Outlet | Standard 120V outlet | 240V circuit, plug-in or hardwired |
| Charging speed | Slow, best for short daily drives | Many times faster, full overnight for most cars |
| Install | None, if the outlet is in good shape | Licensed electrician, permit in most cities |
| Winter performance | Can struggle in cold Utah mornings | Enough power to warm the battery and charge |
| Best for | Plug-in hybrids, light use | Full battery EVs and two-EV homes |
What we check before installing your charger
- Panel capacity: a load calculation shows if your panel can add a charger safely.
- Breaker space: an open double-pole slot, or a plan to make one.
- Distance: a shorter run from the panel saves wire and cost.
- Plug-in or hardwired: a NEMA 14-50 outlet is flexible, hardwired units can charge faster.
- Location: garage wall, driveway post or carport, with a cable that reaches your port.
Panel too small? We may suggest a smart load-sharing charger or a Panel Upgrade.

EV charger installation questions
Do I need a permit to install an EV charger in Orem?
Yes. Adding a 240-volt circuit for a charger needs an electrical permit. We file it and handle the inspection.
Can my panel handle an EV charger?
Many can. We run a load calculation first. If the panel is tight, a smart charger or a panel upgrade may be needed.
Plug-in or hardwired charger?
A plug-in charger on a NEMA 14-50 outlet is easy to swap. A hardwired charger can run at higher power and has fewer connection points.
Are there rebates for home chargers in Utah?
Rocky Mountain Power has offered home charger rebates through its Wattsmart programs. Amounts and rules change, so check current offers. We help with paperwork.
Can I install a charger outside?
Yes, with an outdoor-rated charger and weather-rated wiring. Garage installs are easier on equipment in Utah winters.
Can two EVs share one charger circuit?
Some chargers can share power between two units on one circuit. We can set that up if your panel is limited.
Ready to charge at home?
We check your panel, install the charger, pull the permit and help with rebates.
