How Long Does EV Charger Installation Take?
A simple home Level 2 charger installation can often be completed in a few hours. More complex projects can take days or weeks once permits, panel work, and inspections are included.
Typical Timeline
| Simple install | 2 - 6 hours |
|---|---|
| Permit and inspection | Several days to 2 weeks |
| Panel upgrade project | 1 - 4 weeks |
What Slows It Down
Permits, utility coordination, panel capacity, trenching, HOA approval, charger availability, and inspection scheduling can all extend the project timeline.
Before the Electrician Arrives
Clear access to the electrical panel and parking area, confirm charger location, and share photos so the installer can prepare materials.
