HOME CHARGING

Charge overnight. Leave full every morning.

A Level 2 home charger turns your garage into the best charging station you'll ever use. No more chasing public stations, no more range anxiety on busy days, no more plugging into a 120V outlet and adding three miles of range per hour. A properly installed Level 2 (240V) charger adds 20–40 miles of range per hour and lets you leave every morning with a full battery.

I install Tesla Wall Connectors, ChargePoint Home Flex, Grizzl-E, Wallbox Pulsar Plus, and universal J1772 / NACS chargers — plus NEMA 14-50 outlets for portable chargers. Every install starts with a proper load calculation against your actual panel, not a 'should be fine' guess. Then a dedicated circuit, clean conduit routing, and a permit pulled where your AHJ requires one.

If your panel doesn't have capacity, I quote the fix (sub-panel, load management system, or panel upgrade) up front — not after I'm in your garage.

WHY LEVEL 2

Why upgrade to a home charger.

120V Level 1 charging works, but it's a drag if you're driving more than 30 miles a day.

10x faster than a wall outlet

A 48-amp Level 2 charger adds around 40 miles of range per hour. A 120V outlet adds 3–4. If you drive normal daily miles, Level 1 charging falls behind fast.

Full overnight — always

Plug in when you get home, leave full the next morning. No planning stops, no waiting at public stations, no range math for day trips.

Cheapest miles per kWh

Home electricity in SC (Duke Energy, Blue Ridge, Laurens EMC) runs a fraction of public DC fast-charging rates. Over a few years, the install pays for itself.

THE INSTALL

How an EV charger install goes.

1

Site walk & load calc

I check your panel capacity, existing load, and where you want the charger. If the panel is tight, I quote a load-management add-on or sub-panel so you don't run into trouble later.

2

Charger selection

I help you pick a charger that fits your vehicle, how you park, and whether you want Wi-Fi features. Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, Grizzl-E — each has its strengths depending on your setup.

3

Clean install & commissioning

Dedicated 240V circuit on a properly sized breaker, clean conduit routing, charger hardwired or NEMA 14-50 outlet as you prefer. Permit pulled where required, commissioning test before I leave.

WHY SUNSET ELECTRIC

EV charger installs that look like they belong.

An EV charger is front-and-center on your garage wall. The install should match the quality of the car parked under it.

FAQ

EV charger questions, answered.

Have a question not listed here? Call or text (864) 436-8680 — I'm happy to talk through it.

How much does EV charger installation cost?

Most installs run $650–$1,800 depending on distance from the panel, conduit routing, whether it's a hardwired charger or NEMA 14-50 outlet, and whether the panel needs load management. Written quote before work starts.

Hardwired charger or NEMA 14-50 outlet?

Hardwired is cleaner, lets you use higher amperage (48A on a 60A breaker), and doesn't rely on the durability of a plug. NEMA 14-50 is great if you want to move the charger or use different plug-in EVSEs. I'll give you a recommendation for your setup.

Do I need to upgrade my panel for an EV charger?

Usually no — most 200A homes can handle a 40A or 48A EV charger without a panel upgrade. But I do a real load calc first. If your panel is a 100A from 1985, we talk options before I install anything.

Tesla Wall Connector vs ChargePoint?

Both excellent. Tesla is cleaner if you have a Tesla (or a NACS adapter), auto-detects your car, and looks great on the wall. ChargePoint is a solid universal option with app features. I'll help you choose based on what you drive and want.

Do you work with Duke Energy EV rebates?

Yes. Duke Energy runs periodic rebates for Level 2 charger installation. I can provide the install documentation you need to claim it.

How long does the install take?

Most residential installs wrap in 3–6 hours on-site. Permitting adds a few business days if your AHJ requires an inspection.
