Is Level 1 Holding You Back?
8 Signs You Need a Level 2 Home Charger
Level 1 charging adds 4–5 miles per hour. A Level 2 charger delivers 10–30. If any of these sound familiar, it's time to upgrade.
Overnight Charging Isn't Enough
If you plug in every night and still wake up below 80%, your standard 120V outlet can't keep pace with your daily mileage.
You Drive 40+ Miles Per Day
At 4–5 mph of charge, Level 1 takes 15+ hours to add 60 miles. A Level 2 charger does that in 2–3 hours.
You Own Multiple EVs
Sharing one slow outlet between two vehicles? A dedicated Level 2 circuit keeps both cars ready by morning.
You Just Got a New EV
New Tesla, Ford Mustang Mach-E, GM Ultium, or Rivian? Day one is the right time to install a proper home charger.
You're Using Public Chargers
Paying $0.40–$0.60/kWh at public stations? Home Level 2 charges at your utility rate — typically 3–5x cheaper.
You're Adding Solar Panels
Solar + EV is our most popular combo install. Charge your car with the sun — Level 2 makes it practical.
You Have a 200A Panel
Most modern 200A panels have capacity for a 50A EV circuit. We verify on the free estimate — no guessing needed.
Your Outlet Trips Breakers
Repeatedly tripping breakers while charging is a code hazard. A dedicated 240V circuit eliminates the problem.

What NJ EV Owners Say
“Got a Tesla Model Y and needed a Level 2 charger at home. Malfettone ran a new 50A circuit, pulled the permit, and the install was done in one morning. The inspector came out the next week and signed off with zero issues.”
“They installed a ChargePoint Flex charger in our condo garage. Coordinated with our building super and PSE&G, handled the permit, and helped me fill out the NJ rebate paperwork. Saved me $500 off the job. Highly recommend.”
“I was nervous my 100A panel couldn't support a charger. They came out for a free estimate, did a load calc on the spot, and confirmed I was fine. Installed a JuiceBox same week. Super honest, no upsell pressure.”
