Plug In at Home.
Wake Up Ready to Drive.
Stop hunting for public charging stations. A professionally installed Level 2 home charger lets you plug in every evening and start every morning with a full battery. Faster, cheaper, and more convenient than any public charger in Tampa.
Your Garage Is the Best Charging Station in Tampa
Tampa has more than 130 public EV charging stations. For most drivers, home charging wins on every metric that matters.
Cheaper Per Mile
Charging at home on Tampa Electric's off-peak rates costs a fraction of what public DC fast chargers charge per kWh. Most EV owners add about $35-$50 to their monthly electric bill, replacing what would cost far more in fuel or public charging fees.
~$40 avg. monthly home charging costEffortless Convenience
Pull into your garage, plug in, and forget about it. No detours to charging stations, no waiting in line, no apps to manage. You wake up every morning with the range you need, it becomes as automatic as charging your phone overnight.
0 minutes spent at a charging stationReal Charging Speed
A standard 120V outlet (Level 1) adds only 3-5 miles per hour, barely enough for short daily errands. A dedicated Level 2 charger installed by our team delivers 24-44 miles of range per hour, fully replenishing most EVs overnight.
9× faster than a standard household outletLevel 1, Level 2, and Level 3 Charging, Explained
EV charging is categorized into three levels based on power output and speed. Understanding the difference helps you choose the right setup for your home.
Standard Outlet Charging
The slowest charging method, uses a regular household outlet. Most EVs come with a Level 1 cord. It adds roughly 3-5 miles of range per hour. Making it impractical as a primary charging solution for most drivers. Best used as a temporary backup when Level 2 isn't available.
Dedicated Home Charger
The most practical and cost-effective choice for home charging. Requires a dedicated circuit and a wall-mounted charging station. Delivers 24–44 miles of range per hour — enough to fully recharge most EVs overnight. This is what we install for Tampa Bay homeowners.
DC Fast Charging
Also known as Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC), Level 3 chargers are found at commercial locations: highway corridors, service stations, and select parking garages around Tampa. They can charge most EVs to 80% in 30 minutes but are not designed or practical for residential installation.
Which Connector Does Your EV Use?
Different EV brands use different charging connectors. We install chargers compatible with all of them and can advise on adapters where needed.
J-1772 (SAE)
The standard AC charging connector used by most non-Tesla EVs in North America. Found on Level 1 and Level 2 charging equipment. Compatible with millions of vehicles currently on the road.
Level 1 & 2 · ACCCS (Combo)
Combines the J-1772 AC connector with two additional pins for DC fast charging. The primary fast-charging standard for most non-Tesla EVs. Widely supported across public charging networks in Tampa Bay.
Level 2 & 3 · AC/DCNACS (Tesla / SAE J3400)
Originally the Tesla Connector, now standardized as SAE J3400. Supports both AC and DC charging through a single compact plug. Adopted by nearly all major automakers and rapidly becoming the dominant standard for new EVs.
Level 2 & 3 · AC/DCCHAdeMO
A DC fast-charging connector developed by Japanese automakers, primarily Nissan and Mitsubishi. Still found on some older EV models but being phased out as NACS and CCS become the dominant standards.

Not sure which charger you need or whether your panel can support one? That's where we come in.
-
Hardwired Level 2 Charging A permanently installed wall charger, the cleanest, most convenient setup for a dedicated home charging location. Supports Tesla Wall Connector, Universal Wall Connector, ChargePoint, Blink, Wallbox, Emporia, and other leading brands.
-
NEMA 14-50 Outlet Installation Prefer a plug-in setup? We install industrial-grade 240V receptacles rated for the continuous load of EV charging, compatible with portable mobile connector cords for any EV brand.
-
Dual-EV Households Have two electric vehicles? We configure load management solutions so both chargers share available electrical capacity, often without requiring two full independent circuits or an expensive panel upgrade.
-
Load Management If your home doesn't have enough electrical capacity for a traditional EV circuit, automatic load management equipment may be a more cost-effective solution than a full service upgrade.
-
Detached Garages & Long-Run Installations Your charger doesn't have to be next to your panel. We design circuits for detached garages, exterior parking pads, and locations requiring underground conduit, long wiring runs, and other complex transitions.
-
Electrical Panel Upgrades When additional capacity really is needed, we evaluate and complete the necessary panel or service modifications as part of your project, no need to hire a separate contractor.
From Quote to First Charge. We Handle Everything.
Installing an EV charger places a significant continuous load on your home's electrical system. Proper installation starts with understanding your home, not simply mounting a charger on the wall.

We review your electrical panel, available capacity, preferred charger location, your EV's requirements, and how you use your vehicle day to day. Send us photos of your panel and parking area and our team can usually provide a ballpark or an exact quote very quickly.
Charger Selection & Circuit Sizing
We recommend the right charger hardware and circuit size based on your vehicle, driving habits, and existing electrical system. Not every home needs a 60A circuit. Our goal is the capacity you actually need without unnecessary modifications.
Permitting
EV charger installations in Hillsborough County require an electrical permit. We handle all filings and coordinate any required inspections so your installation is fully code-compliant, protecting you, your home, and your homeowner's insurance coverage.
