Ace Electric installs Level 2 EV chargers for homeowners across Brighton, from Brighton Crossing and Bromley Park to the older blocks around downtown and Main Street. We are based right here in Brighton at 4324 Tumbleweed Dr, so you are not waiting on a truck from Denver.
Every install is planned, wired, and inspected under our master electrician, and you can talk to him directly before any work starts.
A Level 2 charger runs on a 240V circuit at 40 to 60 amps, the same kind of power as your dryer or oven. Whether your Brighton home can handle that depends on your panel. Newer homes in Brighton Crossing, Brighton East Farms, and Prairie Center usually have 200 amp service with room to spare, so the install is a clean half day job. Homes built in the 1960s through 1980s around downtown Brighton and Main Street often have 100 amp panels that are already close to full. We run a load calculation first and tell you honestly whether you need a panel upgrade or just a dedicated circuit.
We install every major charger brand: Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Grizzl-E, Emporia, and Wallbox. Already bought one? We will install it. Still deciding? Our master electrician will recommend the right unit for your car and your panel.
Public charging around Brighton is thin. There are a few stations near Prairie Center, and after that you are driving toward Thornton or Northglenn to plug in. If you commute to Denver on Highway 85 or I-76, that is 20 plus miles each way, and Front Range winters cut EV range another 20 to 30 percent on cold mornings. A Level 2 charger at home adds 25 to 40 miles of range per hour, so the car is full every morning no matter what the weather did overnight.
The cord that came with your car adds only 3 to 5 miles of range per hour. That will not keep up with a real commute, especially in January when the battery spends half its energy keeping itself warm.
Tesla Wall Connectors are the most common charger we install in Brighton. We mount the connector, run the circuit, and configure it correctly for your panel. If your garage is detached, which is common on the older properties near downtown Brighton and on the acreage lots east of town, we trench conduit underground or run it along the exterior to get power where the car actually parks.
Two EVs in the driveway? Wall Connectors can share power on one circuit, and we set that up during the install so you are ready when the second car arrives. We also install the Tesla Universal Wall Connector for households with mixed EV brands.
How much does EV charger installation cost in Brighton?
Most installs run $850 to $1700 for the electrical work, not including the charger itself. The price depends on where your panel sits, how far the run is to your garage, and whether the panel needs work. Our master electrician gives you a fixed quote before anything starts.
Do I need a permit in Brighton?
Yes. Depending on where your property sits, the permit goes through the City of Brighton or Adams County. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and pass the first time.
Does United Power offer an EV charging rebate?
Brighton homes are served by United Power, the electric co-op headquartered here in town, not Xcel. United Power has offered rebates and off peak charging programs for members who install home chargers. Programs change, so we check what is current when we quote your job and point you to the right paperwork.
How long does installation take?
Most installs take 2 to 4 hours. A long conduit run or panel work can take a full day. We are based at 4324 Tumbleweed Dr, so scheduling is fast, usually within the week.
