You buy your own Level 2 EV charger, and our quote covers installation.
The charger you chose: We install the Tesla, ChargePoint, Wallbox, or any J1772 charger you bought for your electric vehicle.
Payment after the job: You pay once the work is finished, by cash, check, Venmo, or invoice.
A 1-year workmanship warranty: We cover our installation work for one year and pass on the manufacturer warranties that came with your charger.
Your written estimate shows what your home charger installation costs. When a charger needs more room in your electrical panel, we also do panel upgrades from 100A to 200A and add sub-panels.
Here’s what happens, in order, when we install your Level 2 charger.
The estimate is free and itemized, so you can see what each part of the job covers. You don’t pay a deposit to get the quote.
Once you approve the estimate, most jobs start within 1-2 weeks. We set the date with you and arrive on time.
On install day, we mount your charger and wire it in. Before we pack up, we go through the app setup and start your electric car’s first charge with you.

Under the Massachusetts Electrical Code, the electrician who installs your charger files the permit with your town’s inspector of wires. The electrician must notify the inspector when the work is done, and the new wiring stays uncovered until the inspector has seen it.
We pull permits on every job that needs one. On Worcester jobs, the city issues the electrical permit and inspects the finished work.

Yes. You buy the charger, a Tesla, ChargePoint, Wallbox, or any J1772, and we install it. Once it’s in, we set up the app and run the first charge with you.
We pull the permit on every job that needs one, including charger installs. In Worcester, the city issues the electrical permit and then inspects the finished work.
Yes, a Level 2 charger runs on 240 volts from a dedicated circuit. The US Department of Energy notes that most home Level 2 chargers run at up to 30 amps and need a dedicated 40-amp circuit under the National Electrical Code. We install your charger on its own circuit.
Most EVs can charge overnight on a Level 2 charger, adding about 25 miles of range per hour. That’s much faster charging than a standard household outlet, which adds only about 5 miles per hour.
Yes, you can plug the cord that came with your car into a standard household outlet. It charges slowly, at about 5 miles of range per hour, which is why many EV owners add a Level 2 charger.
Not always. A Level 2 charger runs on its own dedicated 240-volt circuit, and if your panel has room for that circuit, you don’t need an upgrade. When the panel has no room for the charger, we upgrade it from 100A to 200A or add a sub-panel.
EV charger upgrade rebates come from your utility, and the offers change. As of November 2026, National Grid’s EV Charging Upgrade Program offers up to $700 toward installing a 240-volt circuit for EV charging in a single-family home. To qualify, the work must be complete and the application submitted by December 10, 2026, and you must enroll in National Grid’s Off-Peak Charging Program. Eversource closed its 2026 program to applications on November 1, 2026, and its 2027 program is awaiting approval.
Level 2 chargers can be installed outdoors, and charging in the rain is safe as long as the equipment is outdoor-rated. We install the charger you’ve purchased, indoors or out.
No, not every charger sold in the US is tested, and some cheap, no-name units sold online skip the testing. Reputable chargers are listed by a nationally recognized testing lab such as UL, ETL (Intertek), or CSA, and the mark appears on the label. Chargers from major brands like Tesla, ChargePoint, and Wallbox carry one, and so do most J1772 chargers. The electrical code generally requires listed equipment, so an unlisted charger can fail the town’s electrical inspection.
William F. Riley Electrician Inc. is based in Worcester, MA, and installs Level 2 home chargers for homeowners in the 26 Massachusetts towns we serve. Please call or text (774) 261-3924, or contact us here to ask for a written estimate.
