EV Charger Installation Amarillo TX
Patrick Electric Service, Inc.
Charge your electric vehicle safely and quickly at home. We provide expert Level 2 EV charger installations and complete electrical panel assessments.
Buying an electric vehicle is exciting, but relying on a standard wall outlet (Level 1 charging) can take days to fully charge your battery. A dedicated Level 2 charging station is the practical solution for daily driving.
At Patrick Electric Service, Inc., we specialize in safe, code-compliant home EV charging station installations. Whether you've purchased a Tesla, Ford Lightning, Mustang Mach-E, or any other electric vehicle, we can install the right charging equipment to ensure you wake up to a full battery every morning.
Level 2 Charger Installation
A Level 2 charger operates on a 240-volt dedicated circuit—similar to what an electric dryer or oven uses. This significantly reduces charging time, often providing 10 to 60 miles of range per hour of charging, depending on your vehicle and the charger's amperage.
- Hardwired vs. Plug-in: We install both hardwired charging stations (for maximum amperage and charging speed) and NEMA 14-50 receptacles if you prefer a plug-in charger.
- Indoor & Outdoor: We can install your charger inside your garage or safely mount a weatherproof unit on the exterior of your home.
- Code Compliance: EV chargers draw a continuous, heavy electrical load. Proper wire sizing, conduit, and breaker installation are absolutely critical to prevent overheating and fire hazards.
Can Your Home Handle an EV Charger?
This is the most important question when planning an EV charger installation. Adding a 40, 50, or 60-amp circuit to your home is a significant addition to your total electrical load.
Before we install anything, we perform a complete panel capacity assessment. We calculate your current electrical usage to ensure your existing breaker box has the physical space and the overall amperage capacity to support the new charger safely.
If your home has an older, undersized panel (like a 100-amp service), adding an EV charger might overload the system. In these cases, we can walk you through the options for an Electrical Panel Upgrade or a 200 Amp Panel Upgrade to safely accommodate your new vehicle and any future electrical needs.
