Level 2 chargers for Tesla, Ford, Rivian, and more.
A Level 2 EV charger needs a dedicated 240V circuit — and in many older East Nashville homes, a load calculation to confirm the existing panel can support it. We handle the full install, from panel evaluation to final inspection.
East Nashville's mix of historic homes and new infill construction means EV charger installs vary a lot from house to house. A 2020s build in Riverside Village usually has plenty of panel capacity. A 1920s Lockeland Springs bungalow with an original 100A service often needs an upgrade first.
We install Level 2 chargers for every major manufacturer, sized and wired correctly for your home's actual electrical capacity.
Level 1 uses a standard 120V outlet and adds roughly 3–5 miles of range per hour — slow for daily driving. Level 2 uses a dedicated 240V circuit and adds 20–30+ miles per hour, the difference between an overnight top-off and a genuinely fast home charge.
We run a dedicated circuit from your panel to the charger location, install the charger per manufacturer specifications, and add GFCI protection where required. Most installs are completed in a single day once the panel capacity is confirmed.
It depends on your home's existing service and other electrical loads. A load calculation tells us definitively — many older East Nashville homes on 100A service need an upgrade to 200A before adding a charger safely.
Garage installs are simplest. Exterior mounts on a driveway or carport require weatherproof equipment and careful conduit routing, which we plan out during the estimate.
What we check before every EV charger install.
100A services often need an upgrade before adding a 40–50A charger circuit.
Older panels sometimes lack open slots for a new dedicated circuit.
Longer conduit runs from the panel to the garage or driveway affect cost and wire sizing.
Whole-home generators, hot tubs, and central air all factor into the load calculation.
Garage, carport, or exterior wall mounting each have different weatherproofing requirements.
Tesla, Ford, and Rivian chargers have slightly different amperage and mounting specifications.
