Level 2 charger and whole-home surge
Matt needed a Level 2 charger and a surge protector after moving in. The panel sat in an open basement, so the garage run stayed straightforward.
Charge Your Electric Vehicle at Home, Safely and Efficiently
Level 1 & Level 2 Installations • Circuit Upgrades • Permitting
We install Level 2 home EV chargers (the fast-charging kind that mounts in your garage) starting at $610. As electric vehicles become more popular, having a reliable home charging station is essential. Whether you drive a Tesla, Rivian, Nissan Leaf, or any other EV, Nix Electrical provides professional installation of Level 1 and Level 2 chargers. We handle everything from circuit upgrades to permits, ensuring your charger is safe, code-compliant, and ready to power your daily commute.
Price follows circuit length, wall type, indoor vs outdoor mount, permit fees, and whether the service needs more capacity. We quote the path we see on site, not a bundle of extras.
The quote covers the circuit, mount, and permitting for that install. A panel upgrade is separate and only if the loads require it. See No Upsells.
Level 1 chargers use a standard 120V outlet and add about 3-5 miles of range per hour. While slower, they're sufficient for plug-in hybrids and light daily use. We can install dedicated circuits for Level 1 charging to ensure safe, reliable power.
Level 2 chargers run on 240V power (like your dryer or oven) and add 20-60 miles of range per hour. This is the most popular option for homeowners. We install dedicated 40-50 amp circuits and mount your charger in the garage, carport, or exterior wall.
Many older homes need panel upgrades to support Level 2 charging. We can upgrade your service from 100 amps to 200 amps, ensuring you have the capacity for your EV and all your other electrical needs.
We handle all permitting, ensure code-compliant installations, and coordinate inspections. Your charger will be installed to the highest safety standards.
Simple, transparent, and professional - here's how we work:
We evaluate your electrical system, discuss charger options, and provide a detailed quote.
We obtain necessary permits and plan the installation route from panel to charger location.
We install the dedicated circuit, mount the charger, and ensure proper grounding and safety.
We test the charger with your vehicle and provide instructions for safe, efficient use.

A HELOC covered the electrical work. The charger was the goal, but the house needed a meter, weather head, panel, grounding, and smoke-detector updates first.
Level 2 installs often start around $610 when the run is short and the panel has space and capacity. Price moves with circuit length, wall type, outdoor vs garage mounting, permit fees, and whether the service needs extra capacity. We quote the actual path after we see the panel and parking location—not a package of extras.
Yes for a dedicated 240V circuit, a hardwired Level 2 unit, or any work that requires a permit. A standard 120V Level 1 cord on an existing correctly rated receptacle is sometimes already in place, but adding a new circuit or upgrading the outlet still belongs with a licensed electrician so the install meets code.
A code-compliant install with a dedicated circuit, proper breaker, grounding, and a listed charger is a normal residential load—not an inherently dangerous one. Risk comes from undersized wiring, shared circuits, or DIY splices. We size the circuit to the manufacturer instructions and local code and coordinate inspection when required.
Only if the panel lacks breaker space or the service cannot support the extra load. Many homes add a Level 2 circuit without a full service change. We check capacity during the estimate and will not quote a panel upgrade unless the loads actually require it.
Yes. We obtain permits when required and coordinate inspections so the installation meets local code in Cobb County and the rest of our North Georgia service area.
In many cases, yes, when the equipment is listed, compatible with your electrical system, and appropriate for the location. We confirm that during consultation instead of assuming a different unit or a larger project.
