You made the switch to electric. Now make sure your home keeps up. Energo’s team of licensed master electricians and energy experts install safe, reliable EV charging stations for homeowners — handling everything from the initial assessment to the final connection, so you can plug in with confidence every night.
Home EV charging sounds simple — but getting it right means evaluating your electrical panel, selecting the right charger for your vehicle and usage, pulling the proper permits, and installing everything safely and to code. Energo handles all of it.
We visit your home, evaluate your electrical panel and garage or driveway setup, and recommend the right charger and placement for your specific needs.
Public charging is getting better, but nothing beats waking up to a charged battery every morning. Here’s what a professionally installed home EV charger can deliver:
Charging at home can cost less per mile than gasoline, especially when you charge overnight or take advantage of eligible utility programs. Energo can help you understand your charging setup, electrical needs, and any current utility incentives that may apply before installation.
Con Edison SmartCharge New York Program: Eligible Con Edison customers may earn cash rewards for charging their EV during off-peak hours and avoiding certain peak charging windows. Program rules and availability can change, so eligibility will be confirmed before installation.
No waiting. No detours. No hunting for an available public station. With an EV charging station at home, your car charges overnight and you leave every morning with the range you need, on your schedule.
EV charging infrastructure is increasingly on homebuyers’ radar. A professionally installed charging station is a genuine selling point that can set your home apart and support long-term property appeal.
There are three levels of EV charging — but for most homeowners, the choice is straightforward.
Plugs into any 120-volt outlet in your home. No installation needed, but it’s slow — typically adding just 3 to 5 miles of range per hour. Fine as a backup, but most EV owners quickly find it’s not enough for everyday use.
Runs on 240-volt power, the same type that powers many dryers or ovens. Adds 10 to 60 miles of range per hour, meaning most EVs can charge fully overnight. It requires a dedicated circuit and professional installation, but it’s the sweet spot for home charging: fast, practical, and built for everyday use.
DC fast charging can charge an EV to 80% in under an hour, but the electrical infrastructure required makes it impractical and cost-prohibitive for residential installation. You’ll find Level 3 chargers at highway rest stops, commercial parking facilities, and retail locations — not in your garage.
When you combine a home EV charger with rooftop solar panels, you can use more of your own home-generated electricity to power your vehicle and reduce how much energy your charger pulls from the grid.
One conversation, not two: Energo evaluates your home for both EV charging and solar in a single visit, giving you a clear picture of what’s possible and what it costs without juggling multiple contractors.

Answers to the questions homeowners ask most before installing an EV charger.
The cost of a home EV charger installation depends on a few factors: the charger you choose, whether your home needs a new dedicated 240-volt circuit or a panel upgrade, and how far your parking spot is from your electrical panel. A basic Level 1 setup uses an existing outlet at little cost, while a Level 2 charger — what most homeowners want — requires professional installation. Because every home is different, Energo provides an exact price after a free in-home assessment rather than a one-size-fits-all quote.
For most homeowners, Level 2 is the right choice. It runs on 240-volt power — the same kind that powers a dryer or oven — and adds roughly 10 to 60 miles of range per hour, enough to fully charge most EVs overnight. Level 1 charging uses a standard wall outlet and adds only 3 to 5 miles per hour, which works as a backup but is usually too slow for daily driving. Level 3 DC fast charging is built for commercial sites, not homes. Energo confirms the right charger for your vehicle and electrical setup during the assessment.
A Level 2 home charger adds roughly 10 to 60 miles of range per hour depending on your vehicle, so most EVs charge fully overnight — typically in about 4 to 10 hours. That means you can plug in when you get home and leave each morning with the range you need. Level 1 charging from a standard outlet is far slower, adding only 3 to 5 miles per hour. Energo sizes your charger and circuit so your car is ready by morning.
Yes. Installing a home EV charger in New York City typically requires an electrical permit, because a Level 2 charger needs a dedicated 240-volt circuit wired by a licensed electrician. The permit confirms the work meets local electrical code and utility requirements. Energo pulls the required permits and coordinates inspections as part of the installation, so you don’t have to handle any of it yourself. Skipping permits can create safety and resale problems later, which is one reason professional installation matters.
Sometimes. A Level 2 charger needs its own dedicated 240-volt circuit, and whether your home also needs an electrical panel or service upgrade depends on your panel’s existing capacity and how much load it already carries. Older homes are more likely to need one. Energo’s licensed electricians evaluate your panel during the assessment and, if an upgrade is needed, handle it as part of the same project — so you don’t have to bring in a separate contractor.
Incentives for home EV chargers have changed recently, so it’s worth confirming what currently applies. The federal home EV charger tax credit (Section 30C) was available through June 30, 2026, but that credit has now expired. New York State’s EV charging tax credit applies only to chargers used for business, so it generally isn’t available for a home installation. The main ongoing benefit for NYC-area homeowners is Con Edison’s SmartCharge New York program, which pays eligible customers cash rewards for charging during off-peak hours. Energo can point you toward any programs you currently qualify for, and a tax advisor can confirm your eligibility.
Yes. Pairing a home EV charger with rooftop solar lets you power your vehicle with more of your own home-generated electricity, reducing how much your charger draws from the grid and lowering your long-term charging costs. Adding battery storage lets your home store solar energy for later and keep essentials running during an outage. Energo evaluates your home for both EV charging and solar in a single visit, so you get one clear picture of what’s possible and what it costs instead of coordinating separate contractors.
Energo installs home EV chargers for homeowners across the NYC boroughs, Westchester, and Nassau. Our licensed electricians handle the entire project — assessing your electrical panel, adding any dedicated circuit or panel upgrade, pulling permits, and installing the charger cleanly and to code. We also service and repair existing home chargers. Because EV charging is electrical work, having a licensed electrician handle it protects both your home’s safety and your equipment warranty.
EV charging is becoming a deciding factor for tenants, employees, and customers choosing where to park, work, shop, and live in NYC. Energo designs, installs, and services on-site charging — so your property stays ahead instead of catching up.
