EV Charger Installation in Utah
Licensed Master Electricians installing Level 2 chargers across the Wasatch Front. Tesla, ChargePoint, Wallbox, Enphase, Rivian.
Wake Up to a Full Battery Every Morning
If you just bought a Tesla, a Rivian, or an F-150 Lightning -- or you're about to -- a Level 2 home charger is the difference between waking up to a full battery every morning and waiting around for a slow standard outlet to top you off. A standard 120V outlet adds 3 to 5 miles of range per hour. A Level 2 charger at 40 amps adds 25 to 30. At 48 amps hardwired, 35 to 44 miles per hour. For most drivers, Level 2 charges overnight.

EV Charger Installation Questions
How much does a Level 2 EV charger installation cost in Utah?
Most Utah residential installs run between $800 and $2,500 installed. The typical job lands near $1,400. The biggest cost variable is panel capacity -- if your panel needs an upgrade or sub-panel, add $2,500 to $4,500. See our complete cost guide for details.
Do I need a 200-amp panel to install a Level 2 EV charger?
Not always. We run a load calculation on your existing panel. About 60% of 100-amp panels in Utah homes have enough headroom for a Level 2 charger. If they don't, an EV-specific load management device can sometimes work as an alternative to a full panel upgrade.
What EV charger brands do you install?
We install Tesla Wall Connector and Universal Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, Wallbox Pulsar Plus, Enphase IQ EV Charger, Ford Charge Station Pro, Rivian Wall Charger, JuiceBox, and Emporia. We're brand-agnostic.
How long does an EV charger installation take?
Most installs take 3 to 5 hours start to finish. If a panel upgrade or sub-panel is needed, add another half-day to a full day. Permit and inspection add 1 to 2 weeks of calendar time but don't extend the on-site work.
Do I need a permit to install an EV charger in Utah?
Yes. Every Utah municipality requires an electrical permit for a new 240V circuit. We pull it as part of the install. See our guide to electrical permits in Utah for details.
Can I get a tax credit for installing a home EV charger?
Possibly. The Federal Section 30C tax credit provides 30% back up to $1,000 on the charger and install if your home is in a qualifying low-income or non-urban census tract. Check at the IRS Energy Communities map. We provide all receipts and documentation you need to file.
