Ace Electric handles EV charger installation for homeowners throughout the greater Denver area. We check your panel, run the circuit, and install your charger to work properly and pass inspection.
More Denver homeowners are making the switch every month, and the first thing they need is a Level 2 charger at home.
A Level 2 EV charger needs a 240V circuit, same voltage as your dryer or oven. Most chargers run on 40-60 amps depending on the model. We install the circuit, mount the charger in your garage or on an exterior wall, and make sure everything is up to code.
We install all major EV charger brands: Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Grizzl-E, Emporia, Wallbox, and others. If you already bought a charger, we'll install it. If you haven't picked one yet, we can recommend options based on your car and charging needs. Most Denver homes can handle an EV charger without a panel upgrade, but we check your panel first to make sure.
Level 1 charging (the cord that came with your car) adds about 3-5 miles of range per hour. That works if you only drive a little, but most people need more. Level 2 home charging adds 25-40 miles per hour depending on your charger and car, enough to fully charge overnight even if you drove all day.
If you're in Park Hill, Congress Park, Wash Park, or the older Denver neighborhoods, your garage might be detached or far from your panel. We can run conduit underground or along the exterior to get power where you need it. The install takes a little longer, but it's totally doable.
Tesla Wall Connectors are the most common charger we install in Denver. They're sleek, reliable, and charge Tesla vehicles faster than third-party chargers. We mount the Wall Connector, run the circuit, and make sure it's configured correctly for your electrical setup.
If you have multiple Teslas or plan to add another EV later, Tesla Wall Connectors can be connected to share power. We can set that up during installation so you're 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 Denver?
Most residential EV charger installations run $500-$1,200 for the electrical work, not including the charger itself. The exact price depends on your panel location, how far the run is to your garage, and whether you need any panel work. We give you a fixed quote before starting.
Do I need a permit for EV charger installation?
Yes, Denver requires an electrical permit for EV charger installations. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection so you don't have to deal with any of that.
How long does installation take?
Most EV charger installations take 2-4 hours. If we need to run a long conduit run or do panel work, it might take a full day. We can usually get you scheduled within a week.
What about the Xcel Energy EV charger rebate?
Xcel offers rebates for residential EV charger installations, currently up to $500 depending on the program. We can help you understand what paperwork you need, but you apply directly through Xcel.
