The Install Process

How an EV Charger Installation Typically Goes

From checking your panel's capacity to the final test, here's what to expect when Honest Electric installs your home charger.

01Step 1

Site assessment and panel check

We look at your electrical panel, available capacity, and the path from the panel to where the charger will go. This tells us whether your current service can handle the new circuit or if a panel upgrade should happen first, and we give you a clear recommendation before any work starts.

02Step 2

Permitting and charger installation

Once you approve the scope, we pull any required permits, run the dedicated circuit, and install your charger, whether that's a hardwired Level 2 unit or a 240V outlet for a plug-in model. We keep you posted as the work moves along.

03Step 3

Testing and final walkthrough

We test the circuit and charger to confirm everything is working correctly, walk you through the setup, and answer any questions about using or maintaining it before we leave.

EV Charger FAQs

Common Questions About EV Charger Installation

Answers to the questions homeowners ask most about EV charger installation, from cost and permits to whether your panel can handle the load.

Q1

What affects the cost of EV charger installation?

The biggest factors are how far the charger is from your electrical panel, whether your panel has enough spare capacity, and whether you choose a hardwired charger or a plug-in model on a dedicated outlet. Longer wire runs, finished walls that need to be opened up, and outdoor or detached garage installs all add labor. If your panel is already near capacity, a panel upgrade or added circuit may be needed, which changes the scope of the job.

Q2

Do I need a permit for EV charger installation?

Most residential EV charger installs require an electrical permit and inspection, since you're adding a new dedicated circuit to your home's system. We handle the permitting and make sure the work meets current electrical code, so you don't have to track down the paperwork yourself.

Q3

How long does EV charger installation take?

A straightforward install with an accessible panel and a short wire run is usually a same-day job. Installs that require running wire farther, mounting outdoors, or upgrading the panel first take longer, since that's additional work beyond the charger connection itself.

Q4

Can I install an EV charger myself, or do I need an electrician?

EV chargers run on a dedicated 240V circuit that needs to be sized correctly, protected, and often permitted and inspected, so this isn't a typical DIY project. A licensed electrician can confirm your panel has the capacity to handle the added load safely and wire the circuit to code, which protects both your home and your vehicle's charging equipment.

Q5

What are signs my electrical panel needs upgrading before a charger install?

If your panel is older, already full of breakers, or rated below 150-200 amps, it may not have room for the new circuit an EV charger needs. Other signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights when large appliances run, or a panel that still uses fuses instead of breakers. We check your panel's capacity as part of the assessment so you know upfront whether an upgrade is needed.

Q6

Does Honest Electric install EV chargers outside Murfreesboro?

Yes. Along with Murfreesboro, we install EV chargers for homeowners in Smyrna, La Vergne, Franklin, Nolensville, Brentwood, and the greater Nashville area.
