Having an at-home EV charger makes charging your car super easy and a natural part of your daily routine. Instead of having to search for public charging stations, which can be an inconvenient hassle, you simply plug in your vehicle at the end of the day and wake up to a fully charged car. This means you don’t have to worry about planning your trips around where the charging stations are or dealing with long wait times.
Plus, most home chargers are quicker than standard outlets, so you can juice up your vehicle more efficiently and get back on the road faster.
By using an EV charger at home, you can help reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and the public charging infrastructure, making a positive impact on the environment. Charging your electric vehicle at home not only makes things more convenient but it also allows you to manage your energy better. If you have solar panels, you can even power up your car with clean energy.
Plus, taking advantage of lower electricity rates during off-peak hours means you can use energy more efficiently, all while embracing a greener lifestyle.
In the long run, having an EV charger at home can save you real money compared to relying on public charging stations. Many utility companies offer special rates or incentives for EV owners, which means you can charge your vehicle more affordably.
Plus, when you invest in a home charging station, you might be eligible for some great federal or local tax credits and rebates, helping to lower that initial cost even more.
Over time, you’ll also enjoy reduced fuel and maintenance expenses with electric vehicles, which adds to the savings of having your own charging setup. To find out what incentives might be available in your area, check out your local, state, and federal government websites.

As part of our commitment to customer service, during your EV home charger installation, we’ll provide you with:
The cost of installing an EV home charger typically ranges between $1,000 and $2,500 for a Level 2 charger, depending on factors like the complexity of the installation and local labor rates. The price generally covers the charger’s cost, ranging from $400 to $700, along with installation expenses, which depend on factors like the high-amperage circuit availability, distance to the electrical panel, and any needed upgrades to the electrical system.
Additional expenses may arise if extensive electrical work is needed, such as upgrading your electrical panel or running a long conduit. Such upgrades can add $3,000 to $6,000 or more to the overall cost.
While the upfront investment can seem significant, it is offset by long-term savings through reduced fuel costs, lower maintenance expenses, and potential tax credits or utility rebates that may be available to EV owners. John C. Flood offers many ways to save on EV charger installation, including coupons on our website.
If you purchase EV charging equipment for your principal residence, you may be eligible for a tax credit for the charging station. This credit is 30% of the cost of 1) the EV charging port, 2) components and parts that are essential to the operation of the charging port, and 3) labor for constructing and installing the charger, up to $1,000. A credit in the same amount is also available for energy storage associated with the home charger.
Eligibility is based on the installation location being in an eligible census tract. To help you determine if your installation location is in an eligible census tract, visit the 30C Tax Credit Eligibility Locator page and mapping tool from Argonne National Laboratory. Refer to Individuals and the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit for more details.
