EV Charger Installation in Austin, TX
ABC Home & Commercial Services provides licensed Level 2 electric vehicle (EV) charger installation for homeowners throughout Austin and Central Texas. Our master electricians specialize in future-proofing your home’s electrical system, ensuring your charging station is safe, code-compliant, and optimized for your specific vehicle and driving needs.
High-Capacity Electrical Mastery Led by Local Experts
Installing an EV charger is one of the most significant demands you can place on a residential electrical system. Under the leadership of Tom Riggs (32 years of experience), our team ensures that your home’s “electrical heart”—the service panel—is capable of supporting this high-draw technology without risking overheating or circuit failure.
The ABC Advantage for EV Infrastructure:
- Over 500 Years of Combined Institutional Knowledge: Our team draws on five decades of Austin-specific experience to solve complex installation challenges, from trenching for detached garages to navigating the high-density electrical requirements of modern developments like Mueller or The Domain.
- Family-Owned Integrity vs. Corporate Chains: While many national service brands have been acquired by national corporate investment groups, ABC remains a fiercely independent, family-owned company. We prioritize an honest assessment of your home’s capacity over meeting corporate “upsell” quotas for unnecessary equipment.
- Licensed & Vetted Professionals: We utilize TDLR-licensed Master and Journeyman Electricians who stay current on the latest NEMA standards and manufacturer-specific requirements for all major EV brands.
Professional Level 2 Charging Solutions
While a standard 120V outlet (Level 1) can take days to charge a modern EV, a professional Level 2 installation from ABC can fully charge most vehicles overnight. We provide comprehensive service for all major brands, including Tesla, Rivian, Ford, and Chevrolet, focusing on:
- Precision Load Calculations: We verify that your current electrical panel has the necessary “headroom” to safely add a 40-amp or 50-amp circuit.
- Dedicated Circuit Installation: Installing high-quality conduit and heavy-gauge wiring specifically rated for continuous high-draw usage.
- Smart Home Integration: Setting up WiFi-enabled chargers that allow you to monitor your charging status and optimize for off-peak utility rates in Austin.
- Permitting & Compliance: We handle the entire city permitting and inspection process, ensuring your installation meets the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) standards.

The ABC Difference: Energy Capacity & Safety Check

Frequently Asked Questions
Level 1 charging uses a standard 120V household outlet and is extremely slow, providing about 3–5 miles of range per hour. Level 2 charging requires a dedicated 240V circuit (similar to a clothes dryer) and professional installation by a licensed electrician. Level 2 is significantly faster, providing 25–40 miles of range per hour.
Most modern homes with a 200-amp panel can accommodate a Level 2 charger easily. However, many older Austin homes with 100-amp or 125-amp service may require a panel upgrade or a “load management” device to charge safely. ABC provides a professional load calculation to determine your home’s specific needs.
Ideally, the charger should be installed within reach of your vehicle’s charging port while parked, typically in a garage or on a driveway-adjacent wall. ABC’s electricians evaluate your specific layout to minimize conduit runs while ensuring the charger is protected from Central Texas heat and weather.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Luci Miller
“I tried to use other smaller services before going to ABC. No one REALLY helped me with my rodent problem, which is always a tricky one. Many of us in Austin have those critters and ABC has been good and solid at refilling bait stations, checking traps, etc. etc.. I also use them for my Pest Control and mosquito sprays and they do a wonderful job. I particularly enjoy the Care that William and Jennifer give me I wish I had their last names!”
Kevin Patterson
