Why Upgrade to a Level 2 Home Charger?
Every EV comes with a Level 1 charging cord that plugs into a standard 120-volt outlet. It works — but it’s slow. Most EVs gain only 3 to 5 miles of range per hour on Level 1, which means a depleted battery can take 24 hours or more to fully recharge.
A Level 2 charger operates on a 240-volt dedicated circuit and delivers 20 to 30 miles of range per hour — enough to fully charge most EVs overnight, every night. For daily drivers, a Level 2 home charger is simply the smarter, more practical choice.

Hardwired vs. Plug-In Chargers
Home EV chargers come in two configurations — hardwired and plug-in. Both are safe and effective when properly installed.
Hardwired chargers are permanently connected to your electrical system and offer a clean, permanent installation. They’re a great choice if you plan to stay in your home long-term.
Plug-in chargers connect to a 240-volt outlet (similar to a dryer outlet) and can be unplugged and taken with you if you move. The outlet installation still requires a licensed electrician, but the charger itself can be swapped out easily in the future.
We’ll help you choose the right configuration based on your vehicle, garage setup, and preferences.
Outdoor EV Charger Installation
If you park in a driveway or carport rather than a garage, outdoor EV charger installation is a practical option. We install weatherproof EVSE units rated for outdoor use, with properly protected conduit runs to keep the wiring safe from the elements. All outdoor installations are completed to code and built to last.
What’s Involved in an EV Charger Installation
Panel Assessment
A Level 2 charger requires a dedicated 240-volt, 50-amp circuit. Before installation, we evaluate your electrical panel to confirm it has the capacity to support the new circuit. If your panel is at or near capacity, we’ll discuss options — including a panel upgrade — before any work begins.
Circuit Installation
We run a dedicated 240-volt circuit from your panel to the charger location, using properly rated wire and conduit for the application. All wiring is installed to Georgia electrical code standards.
Charger Mounting & Connection
We mount the EVSE unit (the wall-mounted charging station) at the location that best serves your vehicle and garage layout, then make the final electrical connections. For plug-in units, we install the appropriate 240-volt outlet. For hardwired units, we make a direct connection to the dedicated circuit.
Permitting & Inspection
A permit is required for a new 240-volt circuit installation in most Georgia jurisdictions. We handle the permit application and coordinate the inspection to ensure your installation is code-compliant and fully signed off.

Raul was very professional, efficient, and resolved the electrical issue quickly.
Wonderful service!
Highly recommend Safety 1st Electrical Services!
Very professional and proficient. Cleaned up after themselves and did a great job — I am now grounded!
They are the best ever. A fifty-year-old house, and they deciphered the old fixtures and wiring to fix all my problem areas. Extremely professional but friendly, and they explained everything along the way. Highly recommend.
Sent them an inquiry Sunday afternoon and they called me at 8am Monday. Gave me a reasonable quote and completed the job by Wednesday. I will definitely hire them again.
Can’t recommend Raul & the folks at Safety 1st enough. High-quality service, direct and fast, and they taught us a lot about the wiring in our home. Fantastic service!
Safety 1st is 10/10 — from my consultation visit to the breakdown in pricing and especially the finished product. Highly recommend.
Super quick response, friendly, courteous service, and thorough work to fix some outlets and breakers in our electrical panel. Highly recommend!
