EV Charger Installation for Littleton Homeowners
Making the switch to an electric vehicle is an exciting step. But once the novelty of that new car smell wears off, you quickly realize that relying on public charging stations around Littleton isn’t always convenient. Waiting in line at the grocery store parking lot or leaving your car at a station for hours just doesn’t fit into a busy family schedule. That is where a home EV charger changes everything. At AttaBoy Electric Services, we help homeowners throughout Littleton, CO, take the hassle out of charging by installing safe, reliable home charging stations right in their garages.
Bringing the Power Home: Service Overview
When you plug your EV into a standard wall outlet (known as Level 1 charging), you are only getting about three to five miles of range per hour of charging. For most daily drivers, that simply isn’t enough to keep the battery topped up. Our core service is the installation of Level 2 home EV chargers. A Level 2 charger uses a 240-volt circuit-similar to the one your stove uses-and can charge your vehicle up to ten times faster than a standard outlet. With a Level 2 charger, you can plug in when you get home from work and wake up to a fully charged battery every single morning. As licensed electricians, we don’t just mount a box on your wall. We look at your home’s overall electrical capacity to make sure your system can handle the new load safely. We run the necessary conduit, install the proper heavy-duty wiring, and set up the dedicated GFCI circuit breaker to the outlet if needed to protect your home and your new vehicle.
The Benefits of Installing an EV Charger at Home
Upgrading to a dedicated home charging station offers more than just speed. Here is what you gain when you install an EV charger at your house:
No more detours on your way home or sitting in your car while it charges. Your “gas station” is now right inside your garage.
Charging at home, especially during off-peak hours, is significantly cheaper than paying the premium rates at public fast-charging stations around town.
Plugging a high-draw appliance like an EV into a standard wall outlet every day can overheat your home’s existing wiring. A dedicated circuit installed by a professional electrician ensures your home is protected from overloads and fire hazards.
As electric vehicles become more common in Colorado, having a dedicated charging port is becoming a highly attractive feature for future homebuyers.

Initial Electrical Site Assessment
We inspect your current electrical panel to ensure it has the capacity for a new 240V circuit.

We run clean, code-compliant wiring from your electrical panel to the charging location, whether it’s an attached garage, detached garage, or outdoor driveway.

We securely mount your charger of choice (such as Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, or Grizzl-E) in the most convenient spot for your vehicle.
Electrical Panel Upgrades

FAQs
Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel for an EV charger?
Not always. Many modern homes in Littleton have enough capacity in their existing 200-amp panels. However, if you have an older home or a 100-amp panel that is already full, an upgrade or a sub-panel might be necessary. We will assess this during our initial visit.
How long does it take to install a Level 2 charger?
Most standard installations take about half a day (3 to 5 hours). If your installation requires a longer wire run, trenching to a detached garage, or a panel upgrade, it will take a bit longer.
Can I use any brand of EV charger?
Absolutely. We are experienced in hardwiring and installing outlets for all major brands, including Tesla, Ford, Rivian, and universal chargers like JuiceBox, ChargePoint or Emporia.
