If you drive an electric vehicle (EV), you already know the perks: lower fuel costs, less maintenance, and a cleaner environmental footprint. But if you’re still relying on public chargers or plugging into a standard wall outlet at home, you’re not getting the full benefit of your EV investment.
Installing a Level 2 EV charger at home can save you serious time and money.
At Modern Electrical, we help Eau Claire homeowners make the switch with professional EV charger installation that’s fast, safe, and future-ready.
Here’s why a home charger is a smart move
1. Convenience That Fits Your Schedule
Using a public charging station often means planning around availability, wait times, or inconvenient locations. With a dedicated home charger, you can plug in overnight and wake up to a full battery—every day.
You get control, flexibility, and peace of mind. No more scrambling for the nearest charger before work or waiting in line at busy public stations.

2. Faster Charging Speeds
Standard outlets (Level 1) can take over 24 hours to fully charge an EV. A Level 2 charger, installed by a licensed electrician, cuts that time dramatically—often by 4x or more depending on your vehicle.
That means:
More miles per hour of charge
Quicker top-offs between trips
Better efficiency overall
Modern Electrical installs Level 2 chargers compatible with all major EV brands, including Tesla, Ford, Chevy, and more.
3. Lower Energy Costs Over Time
Public chargers often come with usage fees or subscription costs. Charging at home during off-peak hours—especially overnight—can significantly reduce your cost per mile.
Plus, some Wisconsin utilities offer EV-friendly rate plans, allowing you to save even more. We’ll help you understand your options and get the most from your system.
4. Increased Home Value
Adding an EV charger to your home isn’t just functional—it’s a forward-thinking upgrade. As more homebuyers switch to electric vehicles, having a professionally installed charger on-site can boost your home’s market appeal.
Realtors in Eau Claire and surrounding areas are already seeing increased demand for EV-ready homes. It’s a small investment with long-term value.
5. Safe, Code-Compliant Installation
Installing a Level 2 charger isn’t a DIY project. It involves high-voltage wiring, permits, and often a panel upgrade. Our licensed electricians handle the entire process—safely and to code.
We’ll assess your home’s electrical system, recommend the right charger, and complete a clean, reliable install you can count on.
