Waking up to a full battery beats every stop at a public charging station. Thomas Edison Electric installs Level 2 home EV chargers across Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, Wellington, and the Treasure Coast: sized with a proper load calculation, wired on a dedicated circuit, and permitted with your local building department. Call (561) 462-2800 to schedule an in-home charging assessment.
Why Level 2 Charging Is Worth It
The cord that comes with most EVs plugs into a standard outlet and adds only a handful of miles per hour. A Level 2 charger runs on a 240-volt circuit and typically restores 25 to 40 miles of range every hour, so an evening plug-in covers the next day’s driving with room to spare. For households in Palm Beach Gardens and Wellington juggling two vehicles, that difference is what makes an EV effortless to live with.
Tesla Wall Connector and Universal Chargers
We install the Tesla Wall Connector along with universal units from brands like ChargePoint, Emporia, and Wallbox. Whether your vehicle uses the NACS plug or J1772, we’ll help you pick an amperage that suits both your car’s onboard charger and your home’s electrical service. Many installations land at 48 amps on a 60-amp circuit, while a 40-amp setup is the sweet spot for plenty of homes.
Load Calculations and Dedicated Circuits
Every installation starts with a load calculation, following NEC Article 220, to confirm your panel can carry a continuous charging load alongside air conditioning, water heating, and everything else a Florida summer asks of it. The charger then gets its own dedicated circuit, sized per NEC Article 625, with conductors rated for continuous duty.
If the numbers show your panel is close to its limit, you have good options: a slightly lower charging amperage, a load-management device that shares capacity intelligently, or an electrical panel upgrade that gives your home headroom for years of projects to come.
Permits and Inspection, Handled
EV charger circuits are permitted work in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast municipalities we serve. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and meet the inspector so you don’t have to rearrange your week. When we leave, your charger is tested, labeled, and ready for its first overnight charge.
Protect the Investment
Summer storms are part of life in South Florida. Pairing your charger with whole-house surge protection helps shield its electronics, and everything else plugged in at home, when lightning is in the neighborhood. And if your home has some years on it, an electrical safety inspection is a smart first step before adding a large new circuit.
EV Charger Questions
What affects the cost of an EV charger installation?
The main factors are the distance between your electrical panel and your parking spot, whether the run needs conduit, the amperage you choose, any panel work required, and the permit fees set by your municipality. After a short site visit we can put a firm, written quote in your hands.
Can my electrical panel handle a Level 2 charger?
Many homes in our area can, especially those with 150- or 200-amp service. The load calculation gives a definitive answer, and when a panel is near capacity, a load-management device or a lower-amperage circuit often solves it without a full upgrade.
Do you install chargers for every EV brand?
Yes. Tesla, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Rivian, BMW. We install the Tesla Wall Connector and universal chargers alike, and we’ll make sure the plug type and settings match your vehicle, including two-EV households that want power sharing on a single circuit.

What customers say about our EV charger work
Christina, was very prompt, and professional, We walked around, and what I thought might be possible, I felt would not be worth the cost. She explained everything to me, and the costs. I am going to think about it, and the costs. I would definitely call Thomas Edison Electric again if I needed an electrician! ArleneParkin
