Buying an electric vehicle is the easy part. Charging it at home the right way is what most homeowners have questions about. At GSS757, our licensed master electrician installs Level 2 home EV chargers across Virginia Beach and Chesapeake, handling everything from the initial panel check to the final circuit test. With 25+ years of electrical experience and a full remodeling team behind us, we make the install clean, safe, and code-compliant. No matter which EV you drive or which charger you own, we set you up to charge faster and smarter at home. Call 757-581-3572 for a free EV charger installation estimate.
Every EV comes with a Level 1 charger in the trunk. It plugs into a standard 120V wall outlet and adds three to five miles of range per hour. For a plug-in hybrid with a small battery or a driver who rarely goes more than 20 miles a day, that is fine. For most full-electric vehicles, it is not. A Level 2 charger runs on a dedicated 240V circuit, the same kind of power that runs your clothes dryer, and adds 20 to 40 miles of range per hour. Plug in at night, wake up to a full battery. That is why GSS757 installs Level 2 chargers as our standard home solution.
Every install runs through the same process, start to finish.
Before we do anything, we check your existing panel to see if it has room for a 40-amp or 50-amp circuit.
If your panel cannot handle the added load, we can upgrade it in the same project so you are not juggling two contractors.
We run the new circuit from your panel to the charger location, using the correct wire gauge for the distance and amperage.
We mount the charger securely, make all connections to code, and label the new breaker clearly.
We test the full install with a load, walk you through the app setup if the charger has one, and answer any questions before we leave.
We pull the city permit and schedule the inspection so your install is documented and code-compliant.
We install any UL-listed home EV charger. The most common brands we set up for 757 area homeowners include ChargePoint Home Flex, Enel X JuiceBox, Tesla Wall Connector, Emporia EV Charger, Grizzl-E, Wallbox Pulsar Plus, and the Ford Charge Station Pro. If you already bought a charger, bring it home. We will install it. If you have not picked one yet, we are happy to point you toward a brand that fits your car, your garage, and your budget.

Some homes need a panel upgrade before an EV charger install. Here is how to tell. If your home was built before the year 2000 and still has the original 100-amp service, adding a 40-amp or 50-amp circuit for a Level 2 charger is often too much for the panel to handle safely. Load calculations account for your existing HVAC, water heater, range, dryer, and everything else already running. If the numbers push past what the panel can support, the right move is a 200-amp upgrade before the charger goes in. We do both in the same project, which saves you time, trips, and money compared to hiring two firms.
A home charger pays off in more ways than one.
A standard install takes four to six hours, start to finish. If your panel needs an upgrade first, the full project can stretch to a day and a half. We give you a firm timeline after the assessment.
Yes. Both Virginia Beach and Chesapeake require a permit for any new 240V circuit, including EV chargers. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of the job.
Any modern electric vehicle sold in the U.S. can use a Level 2 charger. Tesla vehicles use the NACS connector, and every other brand uses the J1772 connector. Most Level 2 chargers ship with one or the other, and adapters are available both ways.
A standard install on a home that does not need a panel upgrade usually falls in a clear and predictable range. Costs climb if the charger is far from the panel, if the install needs a panel upgrade, or if the garage has no existing dedicated circuit nearby. We give you a free written estimate with every cost spelled out.
Maybe. It depends on the size of the panel, the loads already on it, and how many open slots it has. Our assessment tells you for sure, and we recommend a panel upgrade only if the numbers actually call for one.
