EV Charging 101

A refined guide to effortless EV charging at home

Understand charging speed, panel capacity, and Minnesota metering options so you can charge with confidence.

Charging essentials

The basics that matter most

We build charging plans that prioritize speed, safety, and daily convenience.

Level 2 charging speed

A 240V Level 2 charger adds faster, consistent mileage overnight.

Load-aware design

We size breakers and circuits to align with your panel capacity and usage.

Smart scheduling

Charge during off-peak hours to reduce energy costs and grid strain.

Metering in Minnesota

Metering options that shape incentives

In Minnesota, EV chargers can follow a standard service install or an incentive meter path. We map both so you pick the right fit.

Standard service install

In Minnesota, many chargers can be fed from a breaker on the main service, and some utilities still offer incentives for this approach.

Incentive meter service

Most often, special incentive metering requires a dedicated meter with its own service, plus a utility-visible disconnect and other code updates. This is only needed when you want incentive metering.

Utility coordination

We confirm rate options, meter placement, and inspection requirements up front.
