Electric Car Charging Stations for Home and Commercial Installation
Home Installation
Do you drive an electric car and are looking to install a charger at your home, or want to install one at your commercial business? We’ve got you covered! Both at-home and commercial installations are great options and have their own unique benefits. For example, an at-home charger solution allows you to quickly and easily access a high-quality electric car charging station in the comfort of your own home. Furthermore, it is perfect for overnight charging!
Commercial Installation
On the other hand, commercial installation options allow business owners to offer convenience to their customers who own electric vehicles and need to charge before heading to their next destination. Also, commercial charging stations generally offer faster chargers since they can handle a higher voltage. Wherever you need it installed, electric car chargers are a convenient, user-friendly solution that manages to get the job done right the first time without the hassle and downtime.
The Different EV Charging Levels
EV chargers have different levels available for home and commercial use, varying in voltage, current, and charging speed. Here’s a quick overview:
- Level 1 is a common 120-volt household outlet, however, it is the slowest way to charge an EV, adding only 3-5 miles of range an hour. Given the speed, it is not effective for daily use and should only be installed if you take your EV short distances. A Level 1 is not ideal for commercial use and should only be installed in homes.
- Level 2 is the most common level used for daily EV charging and is the best EV home charger. This one can be installed at household and commercial locations, as the speed is significantly higher than Level 1, charging 12-80 miles of range per hour.
- Level 3 is the fastest level of charge since it uses a direct current (DC) instead of an alternating current (AC). The voltage is so high that the charging speed is 3-20 miles per minute, and can only be installed in public locations. The typical charge duration for this level is 30 minutes!
The various charging options for home and commercial use let you decide where, when, and how you’ll achieve your charging requirements. While Level 2 is most common, it’s important to read up on which one best fits your needs.

Electric Vehicle Installation FAQ
Installing an electric vehicle charger at your home or business can raise a few questions, especially if it’s your first time navigating EV infrastructure. These frequently asked questions will help clarify the process and provide a better understanding of what to expect when you choose ROS Electric for your installation.
How Do I Choose the Right EV Charger for My Needs?
If you’re charging overnight at home, a Level 2 charger is typically the ideal choice. For commercial spaces, we recommend higher-output chargers that can support multiple vehicles and faster turnaround times. The key factors to consider include your driving habits, the distance from your electrical panel, and whether the charger will be indoors or outdoors. ROS Electric helps walk you through these decisions during your consultation.
Does My Home or Building’s Electrical System Need to be Upgraded?
Possibly. We’ll evaluate your current electrical panel during a site assessment. Many homes built before the 2000s may not have the capacity to support a 240V EV charger without a panel upgrade. Commercial buildings often have the capacity, but may still require dedicated circuits or rewiring, depending on their layout and usage patterns.
Can ROS Electric Help with Permitting and Code Compliance?
Yes. ROS Electric handles all local permitting and ensures the installation meets National Electrical Code (NEC) standards. We stay current with city and state regulations to ensure your charger is safe, inspected, and fully approved for operation.
How Long Will the Installation Take?
Most residential installations are completed in half a day. Commercial installations can take longer, depending on the number of chargers being added, whether trenching or conduit runs are required, or if service upgrades are necessary. We’ll provide you with a time estimate upfront, so there are no surprises.
What is the Cost to Install an EV Charger?
Installation costs can range from $800 to $2,000 or more for residential jobs, and vary more widely for commercial systems. The final cost depends on the charger type, wiring complexity, panel upgrades, and any trenching or surface work required. ROS Electric provides transparent quotes that include permits, labor, and materials—no hidden fees.
Are Incentives or Tax Credits Available for EV charger installations?
Yes. Depending on your location, you may be eligible for federal tax credits, state rebates, or local utility incentives. We stay up-to-date on programs in New Jersey and the surrounding areas and can help you apply for any that are currently active.
