Common Questions

EV Charger Installation FAQs — Montclair, NJ

How much does EV charger installation cost in NJ?
EV charger installation in New Jersey typically costs $700–$2,000 for a Level 2 home charger, including the dedicated 50A circuit, charger hardware, and permit. Shorter runs to the garage cost less; longer conduit runs or condo garage installs push toward the higher end. If a panel upgrade is also needed, total costs range from $4,200–$6,600.
Do I need a permit for EV charger installation in NJ?
Yes — EV charger installations in New Jersey require an electrical permit. Malfettone Electric pulls all permits on your behalf and schedules the inspection. This protects you and ensures your installation is code-compliant.
How long does an EV charger installation take?
Most Level 2 home EV charger installations are completed in 2–4 hours. If a panel upgrade or subpanel is needed, the project takes a full day. We coordinate everything so your charger is operational the same day.
What is a Level 2 EV charger?
A Level 2 charger uses a 240V circuit (like a dryer outlet) to charge your EV 5–10x faster than a standard 120V household outlet. Most EVs gain 20–30 miles of range per hour on a Level 2 charger. This is the standard for home EV charging.
What EV charger brands do you install?
Malfettone Electric installs all major brands including Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, Grizzl-E, JuiceBox, Emporia, and Enel X JuiceBox. We can also install a NEMA 14-50 outlet if you prefer to use your manufacturer-supplied charger.
