Castles Electrical specializes in residential EV charger installation, helping homeowners upgrade from a slow Level 1 outlet to a powerful Level 2 home charging station that adds up to 60 miles of range per hour overnight.

Our Virginia Beach EV electricians begin every home installation with a thorough electrical assessment. We evaluate your existing panel capacity, determine the best location for your charging unit, and handle all permits and inspections required by the City of Virginia Beach. From start to finish, most home installations are completed in a single day.

Electrical Panel Upgrades for EV Charging — Virginia Beach

Many older Virginia Beach homes were not built with EV charging demands in mind. If your electrical panel is at or near capacity, adding a Level 2 charger requires a dedicated circuit that your current panel may not support. Castles Electrical offers full electrical panel upgrades to ensure your home is ready for EV charging and any future electrical needs.

Our electricians will evaluate your existing panel, recommend the right upgrade path, pull all necessary permits, and complete the panel upgrade and EV charger installation in a coordinated, efficient process — minimizing downtime and disruption.

Level 1 vs. Level 2 EV Chargers — What's the Difference?

Not all EV chargers are the same. Understanding the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 charging helps you choose the right setup for your home or business:

Feature Level 1 Charger Level 2 Charger
Voltage 120V Standard Outlet 240V Dedicated Circuit
Miles Added/Hour 3–5 miles/hour 12–60+ miles/hour
Installation Needed Plug into existing outlet Licensed electrician required
Best For Occasional/backup use Daily home or commercial use
Cost Low (no install cost) Moderate (install + unit)
