Power your electric vehicle at home or work with safe, reliable Level 2 charging stations installed by certified electricians.
Electric vehicles are the future of transportation, but a proper charging setup is essential for convenience and safety. Our electricians are certified by Tesla, ChargePoint and other leading EVSE manufacturers. We handle everything from site assessment and permitting to installation and commissioning so you can charge worry‑free.
Installing an EV charger is straightforward when you work with professionals. We begin with a short consultation to learn about your vehicle, charging habits and parking setup. Next, we inspect your service panel and determine if a panel upgrade is required. We submit permit applications, schedule installation and coordinate inspections. Most Level 2 chargers can be installed in a single day.
As an independent contractor, we work with many EVSE manufacturers including Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, JuiceBox, Emporia and Wallbox. We’ll recommend the best charger for your budget, vehicle and connectivity preferences.
Incentive programs change often, so we help you find what’s actually available when you install. As of 2026, the federal 30% home‑charger tax credit (Section 30C) has expired for equipment placed in service after June 30, 2026, so we no longer count on it for new projects. Depending on your utility, you may still qualify for a rebate — for example, Georgia Power customers can currently receive up to $300 back for a qualifying Level 2 charger while funds last. Because many North Georgia homes are served by electric co‑ops rather than Georgia Power, we’ll help you check what your utility offers and provide itemized invoices so you can claim anything you qualify for. Always confirm current eligibility with your utility and tax advisor.
Most residential Level 2 installations in Blue Ridge and surrounding North Georgia areas range from $1,200 to $2,800, depending on charger model, panel capacity, and the distance from the panel to the parking spot. We provide a transparent material‑and‑labor estimate after a free site visit so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
For a new dedicated 240V circuit, we recommend pulling an electrical permit and having the work inspected — it keeps your installation code‑compliant and can matter for your insurance and future home sale. Permit requirements vary by county and project, so if a permit is needed for your job, Smartlink handles the entire process: we file the application, schedule the inspection, and meet the inspector on‑site so you don’t have to coordinate any of it.
A standard 200A panel can usually accommodate a 40A or 48A Level 2 charger, but it depends on your home’s calculated load from HVAC, water heater, range, and dryer circuits. During the consultation we run a formal load calculation. If your panel is too full, we’ll recommend either a panel upgrade or a load‑managing charger like the Wallbox Pulsar Plus or Emporia EV that throttles automatically when other large loads are running.
Most home installations are completed in 4–8 hours and finished in a single day. Complex jobs — long conduit runs, outdoor pedestal mounts, or a simultaneous panel upgrade — can take longer, and we’ll give you a realistic timeline before we start.
Hardwiring is required to use the full 48A continuous output that most modern EVs support, and it produces a cleaner finished installation. A NEMA 14‑50 plug‑in setup is fine for 32A charging and lets you take a portable charger when you travel, but the receptacle is a wear item over time. For permanent home installations we typically recommend hardwiring.
Yes. We routinely install weatherproof Level 2 chargers on exterior walls, on pedestals, and in detached garages and pole barns throughout North Georgia. Outdoor installations use NEMA 4‑rated chargers and weatherproof conduit, and we plan the wire path to keep the run clean and code‑compliant.
The federal 30C tax credit that used to cover 30% of a home charger installation (up to $1,000) expired for equipment placed in service after June 30, 2026, so new residential installs generally no longer qualify. If your charger was installed on or before that date, you may still be able to claim it on your 2026 return using IRS Form 8911. Georgia has no statewide EV‑charger tax credit, but some utilities offer rebates — Georgia Power customers, for instance, can currently get up to $300 back for a qualifying Level 2 home charger while funds last. Because many North Georgia homes are served by electric co‑ops rather than Georgia Power, we’ll help you check what your specific utility offers. Confirm current eligibility with your utility and a tax advisor before relying on any incentive.
Older panels often can’t support a 48A Level 2 charger plus today’s typical home loads. We upgrade 100A and 150A panels to 200A or 400A service throughout Blue Ridge and North Georgia.
