EV Charger Installation in Baton Rouge & Denham Springs
The charger is the easy part. The circuit is the job.
Why The Quote Matters More Than The Charger
A Level 2 charger pulls 240 volts and enough current to be the single biggest load in your house. That is why the install is not really about the box on the wall — it is about whether your panel can feed it, and whether the circuit is done to code.
We check capacity before we quote. If your panel is already full, or it is an older panel that should not carry that load, we will tell you plainly rather than install a charger that trips breakers every time the AC kicks on.
What We Do
- Level 2 (240V) charging circuits — dedicated, correctly sized, and protected, run in a garage or to a driveway-mounted unit.
- Hardwired and plug-in options: a hardwired install gets more power and fewer failure points; a NEMA 14-50 outlet keeps the unit portable if you move. We will explain which fits your situation.
- Load calculations: an honest look at what your service can carry with the charger added, not a guess.
- Indoor and outdoor runs: proper conduit and weather-rated work where the run leaves the building.
- Panel upgrades where they are genuinely needed — and a straight answer when they are not.

Common Questions
Do I need a panel upgrade to charge a car?
Sometimes. We run the load calculation first. Plenty of homes only need a dedicated 240-volt circuit. If the panel is full or unsafe, we say so before you buy the charger.
Hardwired, or a plug?
Hardwired installs have fewer failure points and can deliver more power. A NEMA 14-50 outlet is the right call if you want to take the charger with you when you move. We tell you which one fits the panel you actually have.
Can you install a charger I bought myself?
Yes. Bring the unit and its manual and we will check that it matches the circuit before it goes on the wall.
