Power Up Your Driveway with Professional EV Charger Installation
Owning an electric vehicle is convenient, efficient, and environmentally smart—but only if your home is ready for charging. Bob’s Electrical offers expert EV charger installation throughout North Bend and The Valley, helping homeowners safely charge their cars from the comfort of their garage or driveway. With over 35 years of experience in residential electrical work, Bob installs Level 2 home charging stations that meet the latest code requirements and support today’s most popular electric vehicles.
Whether you drive a Tesla, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Chevy Bolt, Rivian, or any other EV, we provide safe, reliable installations that ensure fast charging and long-term performance. All work is handled by Bob himself—no subcontractors, no guesswork.
What’s Involved in EV Charger Installation?
A proper EV charger installation is more than just plugging in a device. It requires careful planning, electrical load analysis, and expert installation to avoid panel overloads or fire hazards. Bob’s Electrical handles the full process:
- Site Evaluation: Assess location, panel access, and cable routing options
- Load Calculations: Ensure your electrical panel can support a new 240V circuit
- Permitting (if required): Handle local code and permit filings when applicable
- Circuit Installation: Run new dedicated wiring and install the breaker
- Charger Mounting & Setup: Install wall unit and connect to service
- Testing: Ensure the charger functions properly and safely
- Code Compliance Check: Meet NEC and local North Bend guidelines
We install both hardwired units and plug-in models, depending on your needs, brand, and home setup.
Why Install a Level 2 Charger at Home?
Level 2 chargers are the standard for residential EV charging. Unlike the slow, basic Level 1 charger that comes with most vehicles, a Level 2 charger connects to a dedicated 240V circuit, providing faster, more efficient charging—typically adding 20–30 miles of range per hour. Key benefits include:
- Faster charging times (up to 6x faster than Level 1)
- Greater driving flexibility—wake up to a full battery every day
- Energy cost savings with overnight charging at off-peak rates
- Home resale value boost in EV-ready neighborhoods
- No public charging wait times or mileage anxiety
Bob helps you choose the right charger, install it to spec, and ensure your panel has the capacity to support EV charging long-term.

Panel Upgrades for EV Charging
Many older homes in North Bend were not designed to support the electrical demands of EV charging. If your panel is at capacity—or simply outdated—Bob can upgrade your main service panel as part of the EV charger install. A panel upgrade ensures:
- Safe operation of your charger and other appliances
- Space for future electrical additions (hot tubs, remodels, etc.)
- Code compliance for insurance and home resale
- Support for higher amperage chargers or dual-EV households
Panel upgrades are performed to the latest code standards and include inspection-ready installations.
Future-Proof Your Property
EV ownership is growing rapidly, and homes with dedicated chargers are increasingly in demand. Even if you don’t own an EV yet, installing a circuit and conduit now during a remodel or panel upgrade can save you thousands later. Bob can:
- Install a “charger-ready” outlet for future use
- Run conduit and wiring through finished spaces before close-in
- Add a subpanel to a garage or outbuilding for later charger addition
We help you plan ahead—so when you get your next EV, your home is already ready.
Exterior and Garage Charging Options
Whether you want your EV charger installed in a garage, carport, or on an exterior wall, Bob customizes the setup to your home’s layout. We offer:
- Weather-resistant exterior installations with conduit protection
- Interior installs with discreet wall mounting and cable routing
- Charger placement optimization for shortest, safest cable run
- Optional recessed outlet placement or flush-mounting
Every detail is considered for durability, aesthetics, and ease of use.
