Installing an EV Charger
in Blue Ridge, GA

A step‑by‑step guide to bringing Level 2 charging to your home.

Permits & Electrical Requirements

Before installation, your electrician will evaluate your electrical panel and determine whether it can support a dedicated 40–60 amp circuit for a Level 2 charger. In many cases a panel upgrade or sub‑panel is necessary. We handle permitting with the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) and schedule inspections to ensure compliance with NEC and local codes.

Choosing the Right Charger

There are dozens of Level 2 chargers on the market, from brand‑specific units like the Tesla Wall Connector to versatile models like the ChargePoint Home Flex. Consider factors such as maximum amperage, plug‑in vs hard‑wired, smart connectivity and weather rating. Our EV charger installation page explains popular options and our electricians will recommend the best fit for your vehicle and budget.

Installation Timeline & Costs

Once permits are in place, installation typically takes one day. Costs vary based on the distance from your panel, wall vs pedestal mounting, charger model and any panel upgrades required. We provide a detailed quote upfront so there are no surprises.

Incentives & Tax Credits

The state of Georgia and some utilities offer rebates for installing residential EV chargers. Federal tax credits may also apply. We’ll help you complete the necessary paperwork to maximise your savings.

Why Hire a Certified Electrician?

EV chargers draw significant current and improper installation can pose fire and shock hazards. Certified electricians ensure proper wire sizing, GFCI protection and breaker selection. Hiring a licensed pro also preserves manufacturer warranties and eligibility for incentives.
