Boston Light & Power installs Level 2 EV chargers for homes and businesses across Boston and the South Shore. We size the circuit correctly, check that your panel can handle the load, pull the permit, and leave you with a clean, code-compliant install that charges your vehicle overnight.
More driveways on the South Shore have an EV in them every month, and home charging is the part that makes ownership easy: you plug in at night and wake up to a full battery. Getting the install right the first time is what makes it that simple.
A poorly done EV install shows up as a charger that trips, charges slowly, or looks like an afterthought bolted to the wall. A good one just works, every night, and blends into your garage or driveway. The difference is in the assessment and the workmanship, which is where a licensed electrician earns their keep.
Chargers we install
- Tesla Wall Connector and universal Level 2 units
- Chargers for Rivian, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, and every other EV
- Hardwired and plug-in (NEMA 14-50) installations
- Commercial and multi-unit charging for offices and properties
We check your panel first
A Level 2 charger can draw as much power as a whole kitchen. Before we quote, we look at your panel to confirm it has the capacity. If your panel is full or you are on a 100 amp service, we will talk through a service upgrade so your charger has the power it needs. We assess before quoting so there are no surprises halfway through the job.
What the install includes
- Panel assessment and correct circuit sizing for your vehicle
- Dedicated 240 volt circuit run to your parking spot
- Charger mounting, whether garage, exterior wall, or detached garage
- Permit and inspection, handled by us
If the assessment shows the box itself is failing or full, a panel upgrade comes first so the charger has a safe home.
What a clean install looks like
A good EV charger install is one you stop noticing after a week. The cable reaches your parking spot without stretching, the unit sits at a comfortable height, the conduit runs cleanly along the wall, and the breaker is properly labeled. We size the circuit for the charger you actually have, not throttled down to fit a panel that was already too full. Done right, home charging becomes the easiest part of owning an EV: you plug in at night and never think about range around town again. We also make sure the install is something you are comfortable with visually, since it lives on your garage or exterior wall for years.

Call (857) 855-7899 NowWhat to expect
We start by asking about your vehicle, where you park, and where your panel is. From there we assess capacity, recommend a charger if you do not have one yet, and give you a firm quote with clear options. On install day we run the circuit, mount the charger, and handle the permit and inspection, then make sure the unit is working before we leave.
Because we cover the whole South Shore, we install for homeowners across all our towns, and we know the local permitting steps that keep an EV project on schedule.
