EV Charger Installation That Fits Your Life
Installing an EV charger at home makes charging your vehicle as easy as plugging in your phone. With experts like SumZero Energy, Massachusetts homeowners can enjoy convenience, energy savings, and peace of mind knowing the job’s done right.
What to Expect from EVSE Installation
Choosing an experienced installer ensures not only safety but long-term performance. Here’s what the EVSE installation process usually looks like:
- A tailored site assessment to fit your home’s layout and power capacity
- Certified installation by licensed electricians
- Permit handling and code compliance
- Instruction on safe daily use
"Most older homes in Massachusetts can support an EV charger with minor electrical upgrades—yet 6 out of 10 homeowners assume their panels aren’t compatible."
By working with a certified team, you’ll uncover available options—even if your home wasn’t originally built for an EV future.
Benefits of a Level 2 Charger Install
A Level 2 charger install dramatically reduces charging time, typically fully charging most EVs overnight. This is perfect for households with daily commutes or multiple electric vehicles.
- Charges 3 to 7 times faster than standard outlets
- Allows for convenient overnight charging
- Increases the value and appeal of your home
Massachusetts also offers several incentive programs that reduce both the upfront and long-term cost of home EV charging. Many homeowners qualify without realizing it—making now a great time to invest. Learn more from Mass Save incentives.

Answers to Common Questions About Our Services
(What Homeowners Ask Most)
We understand that when it comes to improving your home—whether it’s heating and cooling, installing an EV charger, or upgrading your electrical panel—questions naturally come up. That’s why we’ve gathered some of the most common ones our customers ask. These answers are here to give you clarity, peace of mind, and confidence as you plan your next project.
What’s the difference between a home EV charger and a “supercharger”?
A home charger (Level 2) uses your home’s 240V electrical supply—the same power as a dryer or oven—to recharge your car overnight.
It adds about 20–50 miles of range per hour.
Superchargers (also called DC Fast Chargers) use heavy-duty 480V power and bypass the car’s onboard charger.
They can add 60–250 miles of range in about 20–30 minutes but require commercial-scale infrastructure.
Superchargers are for road trips; home chargers are for daily convenience.
How long does it take to charge my EV at home?
It depends on the charger and your car, but most Level 2 chargers add 20–50 miles of range per hour.
- To add 200 miles, it usually takes 5–10 hours.
- For most drivers, plugging in overnight means they always wake up with a full battery.
Why does the last part of charging take longer?
This is normal—it’s called charging taper.
EV batteries fill quickly from low to mid levels, but as they approach full (usually 80–100%), the charging rate slows down to protect the battery.
Think of it like filling a glass of water: you pour quickly at first, then slow down at the top so it doesn’t spill.
That’s why the last 50 miles can feel like it takes twice as long as the first 150.
Will a Level 2 charger work with my EV?
Yes. Level 2 chargers use the J1772 plug, which is standard for almost all EVs in North America. Tesla drivers use a simple adapter that comes with the car.
What do “kW” and “kWh” mean?
- kW (kilowatts) = charging speed (how fast electricity flows).
- kWh (kilowatt-hours) = battery size (how much electricity your car can store).
For example: a car that charges at 5 kW adds about 5 kWh of energy per hour, which equals 15–20 miles of range depending on efficiency.
Do I need a panel upgrade to install a charger?
Maybe. Many homes already have room for a 240V circuit, but if your panel is full—or if you’re also adding heat pumps, electric water heaters, or other major loads—you may need a panel upgrade or a load management system. Our team checks this during installation planning.
