Hired them to install a Level 2 charger in my garage after months of trickle charging. The tech walked me through the load calculation, pulled the permit, and the install was clean. From first call to inspection passed was just over a week.

About this service
Home Charger Setup
Home EV charging works best when the design reflects your panel, parking layout, and actual daily mileage. We build each installation for predictable overnight recovery and long-term reliability.
Every project starts with a site walkthrough — we assess your panel capacity, confirm the best charger placement, and plan the wire run before any work begins. That upfront planning is what prevents the cut corners and rework that show up later as tripped breakers, undersized circuits, or a charger mounted where the cable barely reaches the car.
Charger selection matters as much as the installation itself. We match the charger level, amperage, and connector type to your vehicle, your daily mileage, and your panel's available capacity — not whatever happens to be in stock. A correctly sized circuit means faster overnight charging, no nuisance trips, and headroom for a second vehicle later.
Our installations are permitted, inspected, and fully documented. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection with your local Authority Having Jurisdiction, and hand you a copy of the completed work. That matters for insurance, resale, and any future warranty claim on the charger itself.
After installation we walk you through the charger app, load-management settings if applicable, and any utility rebate paperwork you qualify for. Most Twin Cities utilities offer incentives for Level 2 home charging equipment — we make sure you don't leave money on the table.
Available across the Twin Cities metro with scheduling based on permit timing, site access, and electrical scope complexity.

Frequently asked questions
Answers designed to move high-intent buyers toward the next step with confidence.
How long does home charger setup usually take?
Most standard residential installs are completed in one on-site visit after planning and permit readiness are complete. Complex routing or electrical upgrades may require additional scheduling.
Do I need a permit for this type of EV charging work?
In most cases, yes. Dedicated EV charging circuits are typically permitted and inspected to verify code compliance and safe operation.
How do I know the pricing is accurate before work starts?
We provide a written scope tied to site-specific conditions such as panel capacity, circuit distance, and mounting requirements so the project is predictable before installation day.
What customers say about our Home Charger Setup service
Real reviews from homeowners and businesses across the Twin Cities metro.
Twin Cities EV Services sent a detailed written scope with fixed pricing before anything started. The charger is on a dedicated 50A circuit and my Rivian charges overnight without issue. They flagged older wiring without any pressure to upsell.
Getting the charger into my finished basement garage took planning. The installer mapped the conduit route, upsized the wire for voltage drop, and passed inspection on the first attempt. Barely visible from the driveway.
Compared three quotes before choosing Twin Cities EV Services. They were the only ones who had reviewed my panel photos ahead of time and had real answers about my charger model. Done in four hours, passed inspection, app connected first try.
