If you own an electric vehicle and you are still relying on the standard 120V cord that came in the box, you are spending far more time waiting for a charge than you need to. At Z-Electric LLC, we install Level 2 EV chargers throughout Colorado Springs, CO, and the surrounding communities — including Falcon, Monument, Fountain, Pueblo, and beyond — giving every EV owner a smarter, faster, and safer home charging solution regardless of the make or model they drive.
Level 2 EV charger installation is one of the single best upgrades an electric vehicle owner can make to their home. Our process covers everything from the initial panel evaluation and load calculation to dedicated circuit installation, charger mounting, and final testing. We work with all major EV brands and most charger equipment — and since the customer supplies the charger, we focus entirely on what we do best: the safe, code-compliant electrical work that makes your equipment perform the way it was designed to. Every installation is backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty.
You pull into the garage after a long day, plug your EV into the nearest standard outlet, and wake up the next morning to a battery that is only half charged. Or you plan a weekend trip and realize you cannot leave until midday because your car has been charging since 10 PM and still is not ready. Level 1 charging — the kind you get from a standard household outlet — delivers roughly 3 to 5 miles of range per hour. For most daily drivers covering 30 to 60 miles a day, that barely keeps pace.
A standard 120V, 15-amp or 20-amp outlet simply cannot supply the sustained electrical current that modern electric vehicles are designed to accept. Most EVs have onboard chargers capable of accepting 7.2 kW or more — but a standard outlet caps out at around 1.4 kW. The vehicle is capable of charging much faster; the home's wiring is the bottleneck. Running a high-current charger on a circuit not designed for it also creates heat, accelerates breaker wear, and in homes with aging wiring, creates a genuine safety concern.
A Level 2 charger operates on a 240V dedicated circuit — the same voltage as your dryer or oven — and delivers between 15 and 80 miles of range per hour depending on your vehicle and charger output. Our electricians start with a thorough evaluation of your electrical panel, checking available breaker space, overall load, and wire routing options. We then install a correctly sized dedicated breaker and run the appropriate gauge wire from your panel to your charging location. Once the circuit is ready, we mount your charger, make all connections, and test the system before we leave.
Your EV is fully charged every single morning. You stop thinking about range and start just driving. Whether you own a Chevy, Ford, Rivian, Hyundai, Kia, or any other electric vehicle, a properly installed Level 2 charger transforms your daily routine — turning an overnight trickle into a reliable, fast, and safe charge that keeps you on the road with confidence.
Upgrading to Level 2 charging at home is one of the most practical electrical investments an EV owner can make. Here is what you get when Z-Electric LLC handles the installation.
Unlike manufacturer-specific charging programs, our Level 2 installation service works with any EV that accepts a J1772 connector or comes with an adapter — including Tesla, Ford, GM, Rivian, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, and more.
Every Level 2 charger requires its own dedicated circuit to operate safely and at full capacity. We size, run, and connect that circuit from your panel to your charging location — no shared circuits, no shortcuts.
Before any work begins, we assess your panel's available capacity to ensure your home can support the new circuit without overloading the system. If a panel upgrade is needed, we tell you upfront with a clear explanation of why.
From a single-car garage in a Colorado Springs neighborhood to a small office or retail parking area in Monument or Pueblo, we handle Level 2 installations of all sizes with the same commitment to quality and code compliance.
You choose and supply the charger you want — we handle all the electrical work. This keeps your costs transparent and lets you select the charger that best fits your vehicle and charging preferences.

Level 1 charging uses a standard 120V household outlet and delivers 3 to 5 miles of range per hour. Level 2 charging uses a 240V dedicated circuit and delivers 15 to 80 miles of range per hour depending on the vehicle and charger. For most daily drivers, Level 2 is the practical standard for home charging.
Not always. Many homes have sufficient panel capacity to support a new 240V circuit. Our electricians perform a full load calculation and panel evaluation before the installation to determine whether an upgrade is needed and what your best options are.
Yes. Level 2 chargers use a standardized J1772 connector compatible with virtually all electric vehicles sold in the United States, including Ford, GM, Rivian, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, and more. Tesla vehicles use an adapter that allows J1772 compatibility as well.
Most installations are completed in two to four hours. More complex jobs — such as long wiring runs, conduit through finished walls, or outdoor weatherproof installations — may take longer. We give you a realistic timeline during your free estimate.
Installation costs vary based on panel capacity, wiring distance, and any materials needed. We provide free, transparent estimates so you know the full cost before we begin — no surprises at the end of the job.
