ELR ELECTRIC INC installs Level 2 EV chargers for homeowners across Clay, St. Johns, Duval and Putnam counties. A Level 2 charger runs on a dedicated 240V circuit and charges far faster than a standard 120V wall outlet, so most drivers wake up to a full battery. Our licensed electricians check your panel capacity, run the circuit, mount the charger in your garage or on an exterior wall, and test everything before we leave.
An EV charger pulls a steady, heavy load for hours at a time, which is very different from a toaster or a hair dryer. The National Electrical Code treats EV charging as a continuous load, so it needs a properly sized circuit of its own. Plugging into an old dryer outlet or running an extension cord can overheat wiring, trip breakers, or damage the charger. A correct install starts with a load calculation on your panel, then the right breaker, the right wire gauge, and GFCI protection where code requires it.
If any of these sound familiar, a Level 2 charger on its own circuit is the fix.
A regular 120V outlet adds only a little range per hour. If your car isn’t full by morning, or you plan your day around charging, a Level 2 setup closes that gap.
Most new EV owners learn quickly that the cord that came with the car is a backup, not a daily solution. We can install your charger before or right after delivery so you start with a proper setup.
A charger sharing a circuit with other loads, or plugged into a circuit that is too small, will trip during a long session. That means it needs a dedicated circuit sized for the charger.
Extension cords and plug adapters are not built for hours of continuous high current. Heat builds at every connection, which is a real fire risk in a garage. A hardwired charger or a properly installed 240V outlet removes that weak link.
Many homes in Northeast Florida have panels with no open breaker spaces or little spare capacity for a new 240V circuit. We check this first and, if needed, recommend a panel upgrade or a load management option before installing the charger.
ELR ELECTRIC INC is a licensed electrical contractor based in Green Cove Springs. EV charging is electrical work first. The charger is the easy part, and the circuit behind it is what keeps your home safe. We size every install to your panel and your vehicle, explain your options in plain terms, and leave the work clean and labeled.
We install hardwired Level 2 chargers and 240V charging circuits in homes of every age, from older ranch houses to new construction.
Every install follows the National Electrical Code and local requirements, including correct breaker sizing, wire gauge and GFCI protection, with inspection where your city or county requires it.
We use properly rated wire, breakers and weather-rated fittings for garage and exterior installs, so the circuit holds up to Florida heat and humidity.
You get a written estimate after we see your panel and the charger location. If a panel upgrade is needed, we tell you up front.
We schedule promptly, work cleanly, and confirm the charger powers up correctly before we leave.
Inspection
We look at your panel, your available capacity, and where you want the charger, whether that is inside the garage or on an exterior wall by the driveway.
You get a clear plan: circuit size, wire route, charger placement, and whether your panel can handle the load as is. We give you a written estimate before any work starts.
Precision Installation
Our licensed electricians install the breaker, run the wiring, and mount the charger or 240V outlet neatly and to code.
Testing & Quality Check
We power up the circuit, check every connection, confirm the charger is ready for your vehicle, and walk you through the basics.
Most straightforward installs, where the panel has room and the charger goes near it, are finished in a single visit. Longer wire runs, detached garages, or a needed panel upgrade add time. We give you a clear timeline after the site visit.
Not always. It depends on your panel’s size, how many open spaces it has, and how much of its capacity your home already uses. We run a load calculation first. If there isn’t enough room, the options are a panel upgrade or a load management device that shares capacity safely.
Yes. We install most hardwired and plug-in Level 2 chargers, including units bought online or through a dealer. Send us the model and we will confirm the circuit size it needs before the visit.
Yes. Many Level 2 chargers are rated for outdoor use, and we mount them on an exterior wall near the driveway when a garage isn’t practical. We use weather-rated fittings and place the unit so the cord stays off walkways.
