Home EV Charging — Pick the Right Charger for Your Setup

Not all chargers are created equal. The best one for you depends on the car you drive, how far you commute, and whether you want features like app-based scheduling or real-time energy tracking. We carry options ranging from straightforward Level 2 units to smart chargers that coordinate with your solar production and time-of-use rates. Our team walks you through the options, recommends the right fit, and handles the full installation.

Solar + EV: The Complete Package

When EV charging is planned alongside solar, your roof can offset a meaningful share of the energy your vehicle uses every week. We size the system around your driving habits, home load, and future storage goals so the charger fits into a broader energy strategy instead of sitting on its own.

Why pair solar with EV charging:

Reduce the cost of fueling your car month after month
Shift more of your driving to cleaner electricity
Use one coordinated energy system for the house and garage
Add storage later for more flexibility after sunset

EV Charging FAQs

Installation costs depend on your electrical panel capacity, the distance from the panel to the charger location, and the charger model you choose. We provide a detailed quote after assessing your home. Many customers find the installation pays for itself within the first year through fuel savings alone.

Yes. All modern EVs — Tesla, Ford, Chevrolet, Rivian, BMW, Hyundai, and others — can charge from a Level 2 (240V) charger. Tesla vehicles use a proprietary connector but come with an adapter, or you can install a Tesla Wall Connector for the best experience. We help you choose the right charger for your specific vehicle.

It depends on your current panel capacity. Most homes with a 200-amp panel can support a Level 2 charger without upgrades. If your panel is older or already near capacity, we may recommend a panel upgrade or a SPAN smart panel, which can manage your loads intelligently to avoid the need for a larger service entrance.

With a Level 2 charger, most EVs go from near-empty to full overnight — typically 6 to 10 hours depending on battery size. That adds 200–300 miles of range. Since most people only use 30–40 miles per day, a nightly charge keeps you topped off with time to spare.

Absolutely — and we recommend it. Adding 5–8 solar panels to your existing system can generate enough energy to cover all your daily driving. Your panels produce power during the day, and if you add a battery you can store that energy and charge your car at night. It is the most cost-effective way to fuel an EV.

When you pair an EV charger with a solar energy system through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) or prepaid solar lease, the charger installation can often be bundled into the overall project — reducing your out-of-pocket costs. Texas also exempts solar equipment from sales tax, which applies to the solar portion of your system. We break down all available savings in every proposal.
