Question 1

How much does EV charger installation cost in Chester County?

Accepted Answer

Most residential EV charger installations in our service area range from $1,200 to $2,800. The final price depends on the distance from your electrical panel to the charger location, whether a panel upgrade is needed, and the brand of charger you choose. Statts Electric always provides a clear, written estimate before any work begins.

Question 2

Do I need a panel upgrade to install an EV charger?

Accepted Answer

Not always. Many homes have enough capacity for a Level 2 charger as-is. If your panel is full or your service is undersized, we can either upgrade your panel to 200A or 400A, or install a load management system that lets your EV charger share capacity with your existing loads — often for far less than a panel upgrade.

Question 3

Can you install Tesla Wall Connectors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Tesla Wall Connector is the most common charger we install across the Main Line. We handle hardwiring, breaker sizing, conduit runs, and final commissioning so your Tesla is ready to charge the same day.

Question 4

Do I need permits for an EV charger installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and we handle them. Every Chester County township requires an electrical permit for a new EV charger circuit. Statts Electric pulls the permit, schedules the inspection, and meets the inspector so you don't have to.

Question 5

How long does a typical EV charger installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most installs are completed in 3 to 5 hours. Jobs that require a panel upgrade or a long conduit run to a detached garage can take a full day. We always confirm the timeline during your free in-home assessment.

Question 6

What EV charger brands do you install?

Accepted Answer

We install all major Level 2 chargers, including Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, Enphase IQ EV Charger, JuiceBox, Wallbox, Grizzl-E, and Emporia. If you've already purchased a unit, we'll install it. If not, we'll recommend the best fit for your vehicle and home.

Question 7

Can I really charge overnight at home?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that's the entire point of installing a Level 2 charger. Most EVs add 25–35 miles of range per hour on a Level 2, meaning an empty battery is full long before morning. Most of our customers never visit a public charger again.

Question 8

How fast is a Level 2 charger compared to a regular outlet?

Accepted Answer

A Level 2 charger is 4 to 8 times faster than a standard 120V outlet. A typical EV gains 25–35 miles per hour on Level 2, versus 3–5 miles per hour on a 120V plug.

Question 9

Do I need a dedicated circuit for my EV charger?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The National Electrical Code requires every Level 2 EV charger to be on its own dedicated 240V circuit, properly sized for continuous load. Statts Electric handles the dedicated circuit, breaker, and disconnect as part of every install.

Question 10

What electrical service is required for a Level 2 charger?

Accepted Answer

Most Level 2 chargers run on a 40A or 50A breaker, which requires a 200A main panel for comfortable headroom. Homes with 100A or 150A service may need a panel upgrade or a load management solution — we'll tell you exactly what's needed during the assessment.

Question 11

Can you install an EV charger in a detached garage?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We regularly trench conduit, run underground feeders, and install sub-panels for detached garages and carriage houses across the Main Line. We handle the entire project from panel to plug.

Question 12

Do you install chargers outdoors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many of our installs are outdoors on garage exteriors, carports, or driveway pedestals. We use weather-rated chargers, NEMA 3R or 4 enclosures, and proper conduit to keep the install safe year-round.

Question 13

Is the installation eligible for rebates or tax credits?

Accepted Answer

Many Pennsylvania homeowners qualify for the federal 30% Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (up to $1,000) on EV charger installations. PECO has also offered rebates in past program years. We'll let you know which credits apply at the time of your install.

Question 14

Are your electricians licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Statts Electric has been a licensed and insured Pennsylvania electrical contractor since 2016. Every install is performed by trained electricians — never subcontracted.

Question 15

How do I get a free estimate?

Accepted Answer

Call us or fill out the estimate form on this site. We'll schedule a free in-home assessment, review your panel, recommend the right charger and circuit, and send you a clear written estimate — usually within 24 hours of the visit.
