You Supply the Charger — We Handle Everything Else
PowerPlus Electric installs Level 2 home EV chargers across Fairfield and New Haven County. Our role is the electrical work: running the dedicated circuit, pulling the wiring, installing the breaker, and mounting and connecting your charger to code. You supply the charger unit — we install it.
This model keeps your installation cost low and puts you in control of your equipment choice. You can shop for the best price on your charger, use a manufacturer-provided unit, or take advantage of utility rebates on specific models — then call us to handle the electrical side.
Labor typically ranges from $350 to $1,200 depending on your panel capacity, the distance from your panel to the installation location, and whether a panel upgrade is needed. This is an estimate only — get a free on-site quote.
Level 2 vs. Level 1: Why the Upgrade Matters
A standard 120V outlet (Level 1 charging) adds roughly 4 miles of range per hour — enough for a plug-in hybrid with a short commute, but painfully slow for a full battery-electric vehicle. A Level 2 charger on a 240V dedicated circuit delivers 20 to 30 miles of range per hour, so most drivers wake up to a full charge every morning.
All major EV manufacturers recommend Level 2 home charging: Tesla, Ford, GM, Rivian, Hyundai, BMW, and others. If you’re driving an EV daily, a Level 2 charger is the practical standard.
Compatible with Every Brand You Supply
We’ve installed chargers from Tesla, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Emporia, Wallbox, Eaton, Leviton, and others. As long as you supply a UL-listed unit, we’ll install it properly. We are not a charger reseller — our value is the electrical installation, done right, to code, with a 1-year workmanship warranty.
What the Installation Includes
Every EV charger installation from PowerPlus includes:
- Site assessment — evaluating your panel capacity and identifying the optimal circuit route
- Dedicated circuit installation — typically 50-amp or 60-amp on a 240V circuit, depending on your charger’s requirements
- Wiring and conduit — run from your electrical panel to the mounting location, following all CT code requirements
- Breaker installation — properly sized and installed in your panel
- Charger mounting and connection — hardwired or NEMA 14-50 outlet, per your charger’s specs
- Rebate paperwork assistance — we’ll help you document what’s needed for utility or state rebates
When permits are required by Connecticut law, they are pulled by the licensed contractor.
Connecticut EV Rebates and Incentives
Connecticut offers rebates through Eversource and United Illuminating for qualifying Level 2 charger installations. Rebate amounts and eligibility criteria change — we never publish specific dollar amounts because the programs update regularly. Check directly with your utility for current availability. We’ll assist with documentation for any rebate your installation qualifies for.
