Charge at home in Austin — fully installed, permitted, rebate-ready
If you just bought an EV in Austin, the dealer charger that came in the trunk isn’t enough. A Level 2 (240V) home charger adds roughly 25–35 miles of range per hour versus 3–4 on a standard outlet — the difference between waking up full every morning and babysitting a slow trickle. We install hardwired and plug-in Level 2 chargers across Austin and the surrounding Hill Country suburbs, sized to your panel and pulled to City of Austin electrical code.
Every install includes the permit, the inspection, and the rebate documentation Austin Energy requires — so the $1,200 back actually lands in your account instead of getting denied on a paperwork technicality.
The Austin Energy rebate: up to $1,200 back
Austin Energy covers 50% of the total cost to buy and install a qualified Level 2 charger — up to $1,200 if your charger and vehicle are Power Partner℠ compatible, or up to $900 if not. The catch most homeowners miss: the rebate requires a licensed electrician and, for hardwired units, a City of Austin permit and inspection. Skip either and the rebate is gone. We build every job to qualify.

Electrical panel upgrades
Older Austin homes — Hyde Park, Travis Heights, Allandale — often run 100A or 125A panels with no room for a 40–60A charger circuit. We assess whether you need a panel upgrade, a load-management device, or just a clean new circuit. Panel upgrades for EV charging →
What does it cost to install an EV charger in Austin?
Most Austin Level 2 installs land between $500 and $2,000 before the rebate, depending on how far your panel sits from the charger location, whether the run is through finished walls, and whether your panel has capacity. After the Austin Energy rebate, real out-of-pocket is often half that. Use our calculator to estimate your install and rebate in 30 seconds.

Austin EV charger installation FAQ
How much does it cost to install an EV charger in Austin?
Typically $500–$2,000 before the Austin Energy rebate, depending on distance from your panel, wall access, and panel capacity. The rebate covers 50% up to $1,200, so net cost is often half the sticker.
Do I qualify for the Austin Energy rebate?
If you receive electricity from Austin Energy, own or lease an EV, and install a new UL/ETL-listed Level 2 charger with a licensed electrician (plus a permit for hardwired units), yes. Oncor and PEC customers have separate programs — we’ll check your address.
Do I need a panel upgrade for a Level 2 charger?
Not always. Many Austin homes have spare capacity for a 40–60A circuit. Older homes on 100A service may need a panel upgrade or a load-management device. We run the load calculation before quoting so there are no surprises.
Can you install a Tesla Wall Connector?
Yes — Wall Connector, mobile connector outlets, and power sharing for multiple Teslas. It’s one of our most common Austin installs.
How long does installation take?
Most installs are done in 2–4 hours. Panel upgrades or long conduit runs can take a full day. Permitting and inspection are scheduled around the install.
