NO JOB IS TOO SMALL
EV Charging Installation Services in New Haven
Driving an electric vehicle offers incredible freedom, but relying on standard wall outlets (Level 1 charging) or finding public charging stations can be frustrating and time-consuming. To truly enjoy the benefits of EV ownership, you need a reliable, high-speed charging solution right where you park.
Sampson Electric bridges the gap between your vehicle and your electrical system. We understand that an EV charger is more than just an appliance; it is a high-load device that requires professional installation to ensure it operates safely without overloading your panel. We help you embrace the future of transportation with confidence.
Residential Level 2 Charging
Wake up every morning with a full battery. We specialize in the installation of Level 2 home charging stations, which can charge your vehicle significantly faster than a standard 120-volt outlet. We install dedicated 240-volt circuits and mount your charger in the most convenient location—whether inside your garage or on an exterior wall—so you can simply plug in and relax.
Commercial Charging Stations
Attract eco-conscious customers and top talent to your business. We design and install commercial charging stations for:
- Retail & Hospitality: Offer a valuable amenity that encourages customers to stay longer.
- Office Parks: Provide a perk for employees who drive EVs.
- Fleet Operations: Keep your electric fleet powered and ready for service.
Electrical Capacity Assessments
Before installing a charger, it is crucial to know if your electrical panel can handle the extra load. Our licensed electricians perform a comprehensive load calculation and assessment of your current service. If your panel is outdated or at capacity, we can perform the necessary service upgrades to support your new charger safely.
Universal Compatibility
We install chargers compatible with all major EV manufacturers, including Tesla, Ford, Chevrolet, Nissan, and more. Whether you have a specific charger in mind or need a recommendation for a reliable unit, we ensure seamless integration with your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 EV charging?
Level 1 charging uses a standard 120-volt wall outlet. While convenient, it is very slow, often taking over 24 hours to fully charge an EV. Level 2 charging, which we specialize in installing, uses a 240-volt circuit, similar to an electric dryer. A Level 2 station can charge your EV significantly faster—typically in 4 to 8 hours—making it the ideal solution for overnight charging at home or for providing a meaningful charge to customers at your business.
Do I need an electrical panel upgrade to install a home EV charger?
It depends on your home’s current electrical capacity. An EV charger is a high-power device that adds a significant load to your system. As part of our service, Sampson Electric performs a detailed electrical capacity assessment and load calculation. If your panel is older, has limited space, or is already near its maximum capacity, a service upgrade to 200 amps may be necessary to safely support the new charger without overloading your system.
Can I get a Tesla charger installed by Sampson Electric?
Yes, we install all types of EV charging stations, including the Tesla Wall Connector. Our licensed electricians are experienced with the specific installation requirements for Tesla vehicles as well as universal chargers (J1772 plugs) that are compatible with all other major EV brands like Ford, Chevrolet, Hyundai, and Nissan. We ensure your charger is installed according to manufacturer specifications for safe and efficient operation.
What are the benefits of installing commercial EV charging stations at my business?
Installing commercial EV charging stations is a smart investment that can attract and retain high-value customers and employees. For retail and hospitality businesses in Connecticut, it provides a premium amenity that encourages customers to stay longer. For office buildings, it’s a powerful perk for recruiting and retaining eco-conscious talent. It also positions your brand as a forward-thinking, sustainable leader in the community.
How long does the EV charger installation process take?
A standard residential Level 2 charger installation is typically completed in just a few hours, assuming your electrical panel has sufficient capacity. The process involves installing a new, dedicated 240-volt circuit breaker in your panel, running conduit and wiring to your desired location (usually a garage), and securely mounting and connecting the charging unit. We handle the entire process, including any necessary permits, to ensure a clean, professional, and code-compliant installation.
