Know Your Options

Level 1 vs. Level 2: What's the Difference?

Home charging isn't one-size-fits-all. Here's a quick comparison to help you choose the right option for how you drive.

Level 1 Charging

  • Uses a standard 120V household outlet
  • No installation required, just plug in
  • Adds roughly 3 to 5 miles of range per hour
  • A full charge can take 20 to 40+ hours
  • Best for plug-in hybrids or low mileage
  • Too slow for most full EV daily driving
Recommended

Level 2 Charger Installation

  • Runs on a dedicated 240V circuit
  • Professional install, hardwired or NEMA 14-50
  • Adds roughly 20 to 30 miles of range per hour
  • Most EVs reach a full charge in 6 to 12 hours
  • Best for daily drivers and multi-EV homes
  • A full-charge routine with far less planning

What We Do

What's Included in Your EV Charger Installation

From the first assessment to permit closeout, we handle every part of the job.

Home Electrical Assessment

Before finalizing your quote, we assess panel capacity, breaker space, and charger placement logistics so the project is scoped accurately.

Dedicated 240V Circuit Installation

Level 2 charger installation requires a dedicated 240V circuit. We size conductors and breaker protection correctly for current demand and future use.

Charger Mounting & Wiring

We mount and wire your charger cleanly, whether you choose hardwired equipment or a NEMA 14-50 style receptacle setup.

All EV Makes & Models

Tesla, Ford, Chevrolet, Rivian, BMW, Hyundai, Kia, Volkswagen, and more. We work with every EV brand and install all major charger systems.

Permits & Inspections

In Michigan, EV charger installation requires a permit and a passed inspection. We file the permit, schedule the inspection, and coordinate final approval for you.

Panel Upgrade Coordination

If existing capacity is limited, we can include panel upgrade work in your project scope for a complete solution.

FAQs

Questions About EV Charger Installation

How much does EV charger installation cost?+

Cost depends on panel-to-charger distance, available panel capacity, charger type, and permit requirements. We provide a free quote with itemized pricing before work begins.

Do I need to buy my own charger?+

Either option works. You can provide your own charger or have us recommend one that fits your vehicle, driving habits, and home setup.

Do I need a permit for EV charger installation in Michigan?+

Yes. This is permitted electrical work and should be completed by a licensed electrician. Saturn Electric handles permitting and inspection coordination.

My home has an older panel. Can I still install Level 2?+

Often yes, but it depends on available capacity. Some homes need panel upgrades first. We confirm this during the quote visit and can coordinate both scopes together.

How long does installation take?+

Most home EV charger installs are completed in a single 2 to 4 hour visit. Jobs involving panel upgrades can take longer.

Can a Level 2 charger be installed outdoors?+

Yes. We install in garages, carports, and outdoor locations using appropriate weather-rated equipment and mounting practices.

Will my existing panel handle a Level 2 charger?+

Level 2 setups typically require a dedicated 240V circuit in the 40 to 50 amp range. We perform a load and capacity review during quoting and explain exactly what your panel can support.

What's the difference between a hardwired charger and a NEMA 14-50 outlet?+

A hardwired charger is permanently wired into your home's electrical system, which makes it typically cleaner and a bit faster. A NEMA 14-50 is a 240V outlet you plug your charger into, which lets you unplug the unit if needed. Both require a dedicated 240V circuit, and we'll help you choose the right one for your setup.

Is there any financial assistance available for EV charger installation?+

Federal tax credits and utility rebates for EV charger installation do exist and change periodically. We recommend checking with your utility provider and the IRS for current eligibility. We can provide documentation of your installation to support a claim.
