Why Install a Level 2 Charger?
Charge Faster, More Conveniently at Home
A Level 1 charger — the standard 120V cord that comes with most EVs — adds about 4–5 miles of range per hour of charging. For most drivers, that means your car won't be fully charged by morning after a long day of driving.
A Level 2 charger (240V, 40–50 amps) adds 25–35 miles of range per hour — charging most EVs fully overnight in 4–8 hours. It's the standard home charging solution for EV owners throughout North Carolina, and it requires a licensed electrician to install the dedicated 240V circuit properly.
Ark Solutions Electrical handles the entire installation: panel assessment, dedicated circuit wiring, charger mounting, and final testing — all to code and ready for daily use.
What's Included

FAQ — EV Charger Installation
EV Charger Questions & Answers
How much does EV charger installation cost in Raleigh, NC?
A standard Level 2 EV charger installation in Raleigh typically costs $400–$900 for homes with available panel capacity. Longer circuit runs or detached garages may run $800–$1,500.

Do I need a permit to install an EV charger in NC?
In most NC jurisdictions, an electrical permit is required for a new 240V circuit. Ark Solutions Electrical handles the permit process as needed — you won't have to navigate it yourself.
What's the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 charging?
Level 1 charging uses a standard 120V outlet and adds 4–5 miles of range per hour. Level 2 charging uses a 240V dedicated circuit and adds 25–35 miles of range per hour — charging most EVs to full overnight. Level 2 is the practical standard for home charging.
Will I need a panel upgrade to add an EV charger?
Not always. Many homes have sufficient panel capacity. However, if your panel is near capacity or you have older 100-amp service, an upgrade may be needed. Ark Solutions assesses your panel during the estimate and advises you on what's required.
Can you install a Tesla Wall Connector?
Yes. Ark Solutions installs Tesla Wall Connectors as well as all other major Level 2 EVSE brands including ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Grizzl-E, and NEMA 14-50 outlet setups for universal compatibility.
How long does EV charger installation take?
A standard installation (new circuit, charger mount, and wiring) typically takes 2–4 hours. Longer runs, panel work, or trenching for detached garages may require a full day or a scheduled multi-day project.
