How do I install a Level 2 charging station at home?

On our brand-neutral home charger section on PlugStar.com, you can compare charging stations to determine the home charger that is right for you. Once you find a charger that best fits your needs, we recommend contracting with a licensed electrician to install your charging station. You can find a nearby qualified electrician based on your ZIP code. 

For installation purposes, a licensed electrician will need your charger’s model number and plug type. This will let the electrician know what amperage panel is needed to support your charger’s power requirements. Chargers deliver a high level of electricity for several hours every day, so it is extremely important that they are installed correctly. 

If you live in a qualifying census tract, you can get up to 30% (up to $1,000) off of the cost of installing a charger (including charger, labor, installation, panel upgrades, wiring, and conduit) through the 30C federal tax credit. In addition, many utilities and state/local governments offer incentives for installing charging stations. Visit PlugStar.com/incentives or contact your local electric utility for more information.
