Level 1 & Level 2 charging stations for every make and model. Home garages to commercial fleet infrastructure. Licensed, permitted, done right.
EV Charging in Denver
Colorado is one of the fastest-growing EV markets in the country, and Denver homeowners are waking up to the fact that depending on public charging is a daily inconvenience you don't have to live with. A properly installed Level 2 charger at your home or garage adds 20–30 miles of range per hour — most drivers wake up to a full charge every morning without thinking about it.
The job isn't just hanging a box on the wall. EV charger installation requires a dedicated circuit, proper wire gauge, a breaker sized to the charger's amperage, and in most jurisdictions in the Denver metro — a permit. We handle the assessment, the permit, the install, and the inspection. One call, done right.
Know the Difference
Most EV owners who ask for Level 1 end up wishing they'd gone Level 2. Here's the honest breakdown.
| Feature | Level 1 (120V) | Level 2 (240V) |
|---|---|---|
| Power Source | Standard outlet | Dedicated 240V circuit |
| Charge Rate | 3–5 miles/hour | 20–30 miles/hour |
| Full Charge Time | 20–40+ hours | 4–8 hours |
| Charger Cost | Included with EV | $300–$900 unit |
| Install Cost | Low (outlet only) | Moderate (dedicated circuit) |
| Best For | Low-mileage drivers, PHEVs | Daily drivers, all BEVs |
| Permit Required | Usually not | Yes — most Denver jurisdictions |
If you're driving more than 30 miles a day or own a full battery EV (not a plug-in hybrid), Level 2 is the only option that keeps up. The cost difference in install is real, but the convenience difference is life-changing. We can tell you within 5 minutes of looking at your panel whether your current service supports it — and in most cases it does.
Common Questions
A standard Level 2 home EV charger installation in Denver typically runs between $400 and $1,200 for labor and materials, not counting the charger unit itself. The range depends on how far the new circuit runs from your panel, whether you need a panel upgrade to accommodate the load, and the local permit fee. Some jurisdictions in the Denver metro have higher permit costs than others. We give you a firm quote after seeing the panel and garage — no surprises on the day of the job.
For Level 2 (240V) EV charger installations, yes — most jurisdictions in the Denver metro require an electrical permit. This includes the City of Denver, Jefferson County, Arapahoe County, Adams County, and most municipalities along the Front Range. Level 1 installations using an existing outlet typically don't require a permit. We pull every required permit on every job.
Most homes with a 200A panel can accommodate a Level 2 charger without an upgrade. Homes still on 100A service sometimes need a panel upgrade first, depending on total load. We assess your panel as part of every EV charger quote — it's a 5-minute check that answers the question definitively. If an upgrade is needed, we can do both jobs together and often save you money bundling them.
We install all major brands and don't take kickbacks from any of them. For most homeowners, the Grizzl-E Classic, Emporia EV Charger, and ChargePoint Home Flex are excellent value. If you have a Tesla, the Tesla Wall Connector is worth the premium. For smart home integration or energy monitoring, the Wallbox Pulsar Plus is worth considering. We'll give you an honest comparison based on your situation — not a brand we have a deal with.
Yes. Xcel Energy offers rebates for Level 2 EV charger installations for qualifying customers — currently up to $500 for residential and higher for commercial fleet installs. The Colorado Energy Office and some municipalities have additional incentive programs. Federal tax credits (IRS Form 8911) may also apply for home EV charging equipment through the end of the current credit period. We can point you to the right resources — the rebates are real and worth pursuing.
