Ready to swap the gas pump for a home plug? Since you’re already making the smart move to electric, we’re here to make the installation just as efficient. At Same Day Installations , we provide certified Level 2 EV charger setups that are safe, code-compliant, and lightning-fast.
Stop relying on slow “trickle” charging or hunting for open public stations. A dedicated home charger transforms your EV ownership into a seamless, “full tank every morning” experience that pays for itself over time.
You don’t need to spend hours researching model numbers. Our vans are stocked with the industry’s most reliable, safety-certified stations. Whether you want a permanent powerhouse or a flexible plug-in setup, we’ll help you choose the perfect option on-site.
Most EV charging cables are between 18 and 25 feet long. While that sounds like a lot, it disappears quickly when you have to navigate around a second car or a lawnmower.
The Goal: We position the unit so the cable can comfortably reach your car’s charging port—whether it’s on the front driver’s side (like a Rivian) or the rear passenger side (like a Tesla)—without being pulled taught.
If you have a two-car garage but only one EV, we often recommend mounting the charger on the center pillar or the back wall between the two bays.
The Benefit: This gives you the flexibility to charge a vehicle parked in either spot. It also ensures that if you buy a second EV in the future, you won’t have to rewire the entire garage.
Don’t have a garage? No problem. We specialize in outdoor-rated installations.
The Solution: We use NEMA 4X-rated enclosures and UV-resistant conduit to protect the hardware from rain, snow, and sun. For driveway installs, we often mount chargers on a dedicated pedestal or the side of the house, ensuring the cable doesn’t lay in a puddle or across a walkway where it could be a hazard.
Just like mounting a TV, height matters for comfort.
The Math: We typically mount the charging holster at 48 inches (4 feet) from the floor. This is the “sweet spot”—it’s high enough to keep the cable off the ground to prevent damage, but low enough that you don’t have to reach uncomfortably to plug in after a long day of work.
We get calls every week from homeowners who tried to save a few dollars by following a YouTube tutorial, only to end up with a melted outlet or a tripped main breaker. Unlike a TV, an EV charger pulls a massive, continuous electrical load for hours. Here are the three most common hazards of a “DIY” installation.
We don’t just “plug it in.” Because an EV charger is the most power-hungry appliance in your home, our technicians follow a strict 4-point safety protocol to protect your vehicle and your home.
A high-speed EV charger pulls more power than almost any other appliance in your home. If your electrical panel is already crowded, you don’t necessarily need a costly $3,000+ service upgrade. We offer two professional solutions to balance your power needs and keep your installation sleek.
Safety Note: Never allow a technician to “double-tap” an existing breaker or use an extension cord for your Level 2 charger. EV charging requires a dedicated, continuous-load circuit to remain code-compliant and fire-safe. We ensure every install is 100% “to code” for your peace of mind.
You wouldn’t trust a random gig-worker to rewire your home’s main electrical panel, so why trust them with your high-voltage EV charger? When you book through a generic “handyman app,” you’re getting a roll of the dice. When you book with us, you get a certified EV specialist.
| Feature | Same Day Pros (Us) | Gig Apps / General Handymen |
| The Technician | EV Specialists. We eat, sleep, and breathe EV infrastructure. Our techs understand the specific communication protocols of Tesla, Rivian, and Ford. | “Jack of All Trades.” Most have never seen a 48A hardwired setup. They treat an EV charger like a simple light fixture. |
| Safety Testing | Digital Load Audit. We calculate your home’s capacity before we drill. We ensure you won’t blow your main breaker when the AC kicks on. | “Guess & Check.” They plug it in and hope for the best. If your house loses power later that night, they are already gone. |
| Inventory | Stocked Vans. We carry industrial-grade Hubbell outlets, 6AWG copper wire, and various breakers. We have what’s needed to finish the job today. | Store Runs. They often show up with basic tools. If a specific breaker or wire is needed, you’re paying for their time while they sit in traffic. |
| Code Compliance | Permit-Ready Installs. We follow NEC (National Electrical Code) to the letter. Our installs are safe, grounded, and won’t void your home insurance. | “Under the Radar.” Often skip safety protocols or use under-sized wiring to save money, leaving you with a massive fire hazard. |
| Liability | Licensed & Insured. We carry full liability and workers’ comp. If something goes wrong, we are responsible, not you. | “Platform Not Liable.” Most apps claim they are just a “referral service,” leaving you stuck with the bill if your panel is damaged. |
The standard 120V "Level 1" plug only adds about 3–4 miles of range per hour. For most drivers, this isn't enough to recover a daily commute. A Level 2 charger is essential if you want the convenience of a full battery every morning.
Not necessarily. Many homes have enough capacity (headroom) for a 40A or 50A circuit. If your panel is full, we can often use "Smart Load Management" devices that allow you to charge safely without the $3,000+ cost of a full service upgrade.
Hardwired units are bolted directly into your electrical system, allowing for faster speeds (up to 48A) and better weather resistance. Plug-in units (NEMA 14-50) offer flexibility to move the charger later but are capped at 40A by electrical code.
Most standard installations are completed in 3 to 5 hours. Because we arrive with fully stocked vans, we can typically perform the assessment and the installation in a single visit on the same day.
Yes, provided it is done correctly. We use NEMA 4-rated weatherproof equipment and sealed conduit to ensure your charger remains safe from rain, snow, and extreme heat.
Yes, though it usually requires HOA or property management approval. We can provide the necessary spec sheets and "Right to Charge" documentation to help you get the green light for your project.
On a professional Level 2 setup, most EVs will gain 25 to 45 miles of range per hour. The exact speed depends on your car’s onboard charger and the amperage of the circuit we install.
Both! We carry a stock of industry-leading chargers (like Tesla and ChargePoint) on our trucks, but we are also happy to install a unit you have already purchased.
