EV Charger Installation
With electric vehicles (EVs) becoming a common sight on the roads, the need for reliable and convenient charging solutions is growing. At MSS Ortiz Electrical Services, we’ve made it our mission to provide seamless EV charger installations for homes, businesses, and multi-family properties throughout North Carolina. Our team understands that installing an EV charger is more than just a job—it’s about improving your daily life and preparing for the future of transportation.
Residential EV Charger Installation
Imagine pulling into your driveway and charging your electric vehicle right at home—no more hunting for a public charging station. Our residential EV charger installation services make this a reality. We handle everything from assessing your home’s electrical system to installing the charger that fits your vehicle’s needs. Whether you’re looking for a simple Level 1 charger or a faster Level 2 solution, our experienced electricians make sure the job is done right the first time so you can charge up with peace of mind, and save money doing it.
Different EV Models and Their Charging Requirements
Not all electric vehicles are created equal, and neither are their charging needs. For instance, some EVs, like the Nissan Leaf or Chevy Bolt, use the J1772 connector for Level 2 charging, while others may have different charging speeds and capabilities. Understanding these differences can help you choose the right charger for your home. At MSS Ortiz, we’re well-versed in the charging requirements of various EV models and will confirm your installation is compatible with your vehicle.
Commercial EV Charger Installation
Businesses today are increasingly aware that providing EV charging stations is a smart move—not just for the environment but also for attracting and retaining customers. Whether you run a retail store, an office building, or a parking facility, installing commercial EV chargers can set you apart from the competition.
At MSS Ortiz, we offer tailored commercial EV charger installations that align with your business operations. From initial planning to final installation, we work closely with you to guarantee your charging stations are reliable, fast, and ready to meet the demands of your customers and employees.

Frequently Asked Questions
What EV chargers are available, and which is suitable for me?
There are three main types of EV chargers: Level 1, Level 2, and DC Fast Chargers.
- Level 1 chargers use a standard household outlet and are slower and suitable for overnight charging at home.
- Level 2 chargers require a 240-volt outlet and are faster, typically charging a vehicle in a few hours.
- DC Fast Chargers are the quickest and are usually found in commercial settings, providing a significant charge in minutes. A Level 2 charger is the best balance between speed and cost for most homeowners.
How long does it take to install an EV charger?
The installation process typically takes 2-4 hours, depending on the complexity of the job and your existing electrical infrastructure. Residential installations are often quicker, while commercial and multi-family setups might require more time due to the need for additional planning and equipment.
Will installing an EV charger increase my electricity bill?
Charging an electric vehicle will increase electricity usage, but it’s generally more cost-effective than fueling a gasoline vehicle. The exact increase depends on your driving habits, the size of your vehicle’s battery, and the electricity rates in your area. On average, EV owners see an increase of about $30-$60 monthly in their electricity bills. However, there are various other ways to reduce your electric bill that you can consider.
Do I need a permit for EV charger installation?
In most cases, yes. Local regulations typically require a permit to install an EV charger to ensure it meets safety standards. MSS Ortiz handles all the necessary permits and inspections as part of our installation service.
Can I use my existing electrical panel, or will I need an upgrade?
It depends on the capacity of your existing electrical panel. If your panel has sufficient capacity, we can connect the EV charger without any upgrades. However, if your panel is at capacity, an upgrade might be necessary to safely accommodate the charger. We’ll assess your system during the initial consultation and provide recommendations based on your situation.
What maintenance is required for an EV charger?
EV chargers require minimal maintenance. Regularly inspecting the cables and connectors for any signs of wear and tear and ensuring the unit is clean and free of obstructions will help keep it in good working order. If you encounter any issues, MSS Ortiz is here to provide support and repairs as needed.
