So, you’ve joined the electric revolution, and your shiny new EV is parked in the driveway. But wait—how do you keep this marvel of modern engineering charged and ready to roll? Spoiler alert: it’s not with an extension cord running from your kitchen. Enter CK Electric, your friendly neighborhood EV charger installer, ready to equip your home with the power your vehicle craves.
Why Install a Home EV Charger?
- Convenience: Imagine waking up each morning to a fully charged car, without detouring to public charging stations. It’s like having a gas station in your garage, minus the fumes and questionable hot dogs.
- Speed: Standard outlets charge your EV at a snail’s pace. A professionally installed Level 2 charger, however, can juice up your vehicle significantly faster, giving you more time to binge-watch your favorite shows.
- Savings: Home charging often costs less than public stations. Plus, with available rebates, your wallet will thank you.

Understanding the Costs
We know you’re curious about the price tag. A straightforward installation can range from $1,200 to $3,000 or more, depending on various factors. Here’s what’s typically included:
- Professional Installation: Our expert technicians handle everything, ensuring your charger is installed safely and efficiently.
- Permit and Inspection: We take care of the paperwork and necessary inspections, so you don’t have to.

Additional costs may arise if your setup requires:
- Longer Wiring Runs: If your electrical panel is playing hard to get, residing far from your desired charger location.
- Sub Panel Additions: For those with older homes or limited panel space.
- Trenching: When your garage and electrical panel aren’t on speaking terms, and we need to run cables underground.
- Main Panel Upgrades: To handle the extra load of your new charger.
- Pedestal Installations: For outdoor setups that need a bit of elevation.
- Cable Concealment: Because sometimes, aesthetics matter.
Rebates and Incentives: Free Money, Anyone?

Additionally, federal incentives may provide up to 30% or $1,000 for charging station equipment. It’s like finding a twenty-dollar bill in your old jacket—only better.
