/ EV CHARGERS
EV Car Chargers
A charger on a regular wall outlet works, technically, the same way a garden hose technically fills a pool. We install the real circuit — sized right, placed where you actually park, permitted and inspected.
/ SOUND FAMILIAR
Any of these going on at your place?
- New EV showing up in a few weeks
- Charging off a regular wall outlet and it takes all night
- Detached garage with no power run to it yet
- Not sure the panel can carry a 48-amp circuit
/ WHAT’S INCLUDED
The scope, in writing.
| — | Garage and outdoor charger installation |
|---|---|
| — | Panel assessment before we quote |
| — | Code-compliant installation |
| — | Trenching for detached garages and outbuildings (through Haywire Excavation) |
| — | Placement planned around where you actually park |
/ HOW IT RUNS
Start to finish.
Panel assessment first
Before we quote anything, we check whether the panel has room for a 40–50A circuit. That answer changes the job.
Placement, planned around the car
Not where the wire happens to be easiest to run — where you actually pull in.
Trenching, if the garage is detached
Haywire Excavation runs the trench the same week, not a separate job with a separate scheduling headache.
Install and test
Charger mounted, circuit run, tested under load before we leave.
/ AMPERAGE + PLACEMENT
The two decisions that actually matter.
Every EV charger conversation comes down to these two questions. Everything else is detail.
/ SIGN
Level 1 vs. Level 2
Level 1 is the cord that came with the car, plugged into a regular outlet — it works, slowly, often overnight for a full charge. Level 2 needs a dedicated circuit, typically 40–50 amps, and charges several times faster. Most people who ask us out are ready for Level 2.
/ SIGN
32A vs. 48A circuit
Depends on the vehicle’s onboard charger and whether you might add a second EV later. We size it during the panel assessment, not by guessing.
/ SIGN
Garage, driveway, or detached building
A garage-mounted charger near the panel is the simple version. A detached garage or a spot at the end of a gravel driveway usually means trenching — which is where the two companies work as one.
/ SIGN
What the panel can actually carry
A 48A circuit is a real load. If the panel is already tight, this is the same conversation as the panel page — sometimes the charger job and the panel job are the same job.

/ FAQ
Quick answers.
Do you charge for an estimate?
We provide free estimates. A free estimate does not include any work that may be performed — if we can fix it on the spot, that becomes a separate conversation before anything gets done.
How far do you travel?
We work out of Winchester and cover about a 75-mile radius — Frederick, Clarke, Warren and Shenandoah counties in Virginia, plus the West Virginia Eastern Panhandle. We hold a Class A license in both states.
