Our EV Charger Installation Services
We review your property’s existing wiring and panel capacity to help identify an appropriate installation approach, including charger location and circuit needs. A load calculation helps determine whether the existing electrical service can support the planned charger and other major electrical demands.
Permit and inspection requirements apply to EV charger installations in Philadelphia. As required by the City of Philadelphia, an electrical permit must be obtained for EV charger installations, and requirements can vary based on the equipment and project scope.
The installation process includes:
- Initial consultation: We evaluate your home’s electrical system and discuss suitable charger options.
- Site preparation: Our team reviews whether your electrical panel and wiring can support the charger.

Planning Your EV Charger Installation
Installing an EV charger is often more than simply mounting the unit. Your electrical system must handle the additional load safely. Older homes may need panel upgrades or rewiring, while commercial properties might require multiple chargers with balanced circuits for employees or customers. Level 1 charging generally uses a standard 120-volt household outlet, while Level 2 charging typically requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit and additional electrical capacity. A panel upgrade is not automatically required because the decision depends on the existing service, calculated load, charger requirements, and other major electrical demands.
Consider installing an EV charger if you frequently rely on public stations, are planning to purchase an EV or expand your fleet, or if your current wiring and outlets may not support high-load devices safely. Equipment instructions, charger location, and whether the equipment is hardwired or receptacle-based can also affect the installation plan.
As the number of electric vehicles in Philadelphia grows, having a dedicated charger at home or work can provide charging access where a vehicle is parked. The practical value of on-site charging depends on the property, vehicle, charger type, available electrical capacity, and parking arrangement.
Can I install an EV charger outdoors?
Yes! Outdoor EV charger installation is common, but equipment and installation requirements can vary based on the environment and applicable safety standards. Our team can help plan your outdoor charger installation based on equipment requirements and applicable Philadelphia electrical codes.
