We provide expert EV charger installations throughout Ohio, serving residents in Akron and beyond. Our services are designed to meet the needs of homeowners across the state.
Choose your city
Ohio's climate, characterized by cold winters and warm, humid summers, presents unique challenges for EV charger installations. We select durable, weather-rated equipment that can withstand freeze-thaw cycles and high humidity. In areas like Akron, where housing stock can vary, we assess the existing electrical panel and structure for optimal charger placement and secure mounting.
Our installation process includes navigating Ohio's specific electrical codes and local permitting requirements. We ensure that the installation is not only functional but also compliant and safe. This involves evaluating the capacity of your home's electrical service and determining the necessary wiring gauge and circuit breaker size for your chosen Level 2 charger.
Common questions

How much does it cost to put in a Level 2 charger at home?
The installation cost for a Level 2 charger in Ohio is influenced by your home's electrical system. Factors such as the age and capacity of your electrical panel, the distance from the panel to the charging location, and any required electrical upgrades are key determinants.

How does Ohio's weather affect installation?

This ensures your charger operates reliably in all seasons around Akron.
