EV Charger Installation
Louisville, KY

Relying on public charging stations can be time-consuming, especially during peak hours or in neighborhoods with limited access.

Installing a home EV charger not only makes daily life easier but also ensures your vehicle is always ready to go when you need it.

With EV ownership on the rise, home charging is no longer a luxury, it’s a practical necessity.

St. Matthews Electric is a trusted local electrical provider offering professional EV charger installation services to homeowners across Louisville and surrounding areas. Our team ensures safe, code-compliant setups tailored to each home and vehicle.

EV Charger Installation Services

St. Matthews Electric provides full-service electrical panel installation and upgrade solutions for Louisville homeowners and businesses, ensuring your property is powered safely and efficiently for years to come.

Our electrical panel services include:

Level 1 Charger Installation

Level 1 chargers use a standard 120-volt outlet and are ideal for overnight charging or homes with lower daily mileage needs. St. Matthews Electric installs these chargers safely and ensures proper outlet wiring, providing homeowners with a reliable, entry-level charging solution.

Level 2 Charger Installation

Level 2 chargers operate on 240 volts and deliver much faster charging, making them perfect for daily commuters or households with multiple EVs. Our team assesses your home’s electrical capacity, upgrades panels or breakers if necessary, and installs the charger for optimal efficiency and safety.

Brand Compatibility & Adapters

Most home chargers are compatible with major EV brands like Tesla, Ford, Chevrolet, Nissan, and more. For vehicles requiring special connectors, St Matthews Electric provides and installs the appropriate adapters, ensuring seamless charging for any EV.

Site Assessment & Location Planning

Proper placement is key for convenience and safety. Our electricians evaluate garages, driveways, or exterior access points, ensuring chargers are easily accessible, code-compliant, and positioned to prevent hazards or exposure to the elements.

Panel Upgrades & Electrical Work

If your home’s electrical panel cannot support a Level 2 charger, St Matthews Electric performs the necessary upgrades. This includes adding circuits, breakers, or wiring modifications, all done according to code for safe, long-lasting operation.

Benefits of Installing an EV Charger at Home

Faster Charging Speeds

Level 2 chargers provide quicker charging than standard outlets, allowing your EV to be ready when you need it, often overnight.

Convenience

Forget waiting in line at public stations. Plug in at home and start each day with a fully charged vehicle.

Long-Term Savings

Home charging is typically less expensive than paying for public chargers or gasoline, helping you save over time.

Increased Home Value

Future buyers who own EVs will see a home with a ready-to-use charger as a major selling point.

Battery Longevity

Consistent, stable charging at home reduces stress on your battery, helping it last longer.

I called Richard on a Monday and he was able to come out to my house within 48 hours. I had... an electrical outlet that needed to be replaced and I was concerned about some lighting issues in my basement. Richard checked my concerns with the light fixtures and assured me there was no serious issues. He explained what was causing the flickering in the lights and how to fix it. Richard replaced the outlet at better price than I expected as well. He was very polite and respectful but also and most importantly he was informative. Thanks Richard for putting my electrical concerns to rest.read more

Let me preface by saying I'm a new homeowner who has no idea what she's doing! With that, I... knew there were some things on my inspection report that needed electrician attention. So I call up St. Matthews Electric and upon their arrival, I joke that they better not take advantage of my ignorance. COMPLETE OPPOSITE!!! I was asking questions and bringing things up, asking what was necessary, what needed adjusting, etc. They walked out of my home and I had paid less than what I was expecting, with all the musts on my list taken care of, and some new knowledge and confidence in home ownership! Extremely thankful for Richard and his crew.read more

Over the past year, I have had St Matthew’s Electric on three different service calls. Richard... installed a chandelier in my dining room and five LED lights in closets in my new home. A few months ago, he changed out a wall switch for a ceiling fan at the old home. Today, Jared installed a fandelier in my sunporch and a new 120v wall plug in the kitchen. On each occasion, these young men have been professional, knowledgeable, polite and NEAT. Did I mention neat? You could not tell that anyone had been here. All packing material, sawdust, and any other signs of work being done disappeared with them. I was very pleased with the price also. I would definitely recommend this business.read more
