ELR ELECTRIC INC installs Level 2 EV chargers across Jacksonville, from historic homes in Riverside, Avondale and San Marco to mid-century ranches and newer subdivisions. The home’s age usually decides the job: older houses often need a panel check, and alley-access or detached garages mean longer runs. We plan it, install a dedicated 240V circuit, and test the charger before we leave. Learn more about our EV charger installation service.
The National Electrical Code treats EV charging as a continuous load, so the circuit and panel must carry steady current for hours. A historic home in Springfield and a newer subdivision home have very different panels, wiring and parking. We start with a load calculation and build the plan around your house, not a one-size quote.
These are the most common reasons Jacksonville drivers call us.
A regular 120V outlet adds only a little range per hour. If the car isn’t full by morning, a Level 2 charger on its own circuit closes the gap.
Cords and plug adapters are not built for hours of continuous current. Heat builds at every connection, which is a real fire risk in a garage.
If a panel upgrade, remodel or other large load is on the schedule, it is the right time to plan the EV circuit so the work is done once.
The cord that comes with most EVs is meant as a backup. Installing a proper charger before or right after delivery means you start with a setup built for daily driving.
Many older Jacksonville neighborhoods have detached garages off an alley. We plan the route from the panel, size the wire for the distance, and mount the charger at the garage.
We are a licensed Northeast Florida electrician that works in historic, mid-century and newer Jacksonville homes. We give honest answers on panel capacity and put the full plan in writing.
Our licensed electricians handle the whole job: load calculation, breaker, wiring and charger mounting.
We build the circuit for a continuous load, which is how the National Electrical Code treats EV charging.
Properly rated wire, breakers and weather-rated fittings that hold up to Florida heat and humidity.
No surprises. We explain what the install needs and put it in writing before work starts.
We show up when we say, keep the work area clean and walk you through the charger before we go.
Inspection
We check your panel and service, then look at where you park, from an attached garage to an alley-access garage or driveway.
We explain your options in plain terms, from a 240V outlet to a hardwired charger, and put the recommendation in writing.
Precision Installation
Breaker, wiring and charger go in to code, with the work kept tidy in the garage or on the exterior wall.
Testing & Quality Check
We power up the circuit, check every connection and confirm the charger is ready for your vehicle.
Most of Jacksonville is served by JEA, while the beach cities are on Beaches Energy Services. The charger connects to your panel either way, and we coordinate with your utility if a service upgrade is needed.
A new 240V circuit is electrical work that may need a permit and inspection depending on your city or county. We follow the requirements that apply to your address.
Many do, but not all. Older homes often have smaller services or full panels. We do a load calculation first and recommend a panel upgrade only if the numbers call for it.
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 it needs.
