Stop Waiting at Public Chargers
Public charging stations are few and far between on the North Coast—and waiting 30 minutes at a DC fast charger every few days gets old. A Level 2 home charger lets you plug in when you get home and wake up to a full battery every morning, delivering a full charge overnight—about 25-30 miles of range per hour compared to just 3-5 miles per hour from a standard 120V outlet. Bogh Electric has installed EV chargers across the North Coast for homeowners, vacation rental owners, and businesses, handling the electrical assessment, panel capacity, permits, and installation so you can start charging at home.
Why Install a Home EV Charger?
Charge Overnight
Plug in when you get home, wake up to a full battery. No more planning trips around public charging stations or waiting in line.
Save Money
Home electricity costs a fraction of public charging rates—and far less than gasoline. Most EV owners see a meaningful drop in what they spend to get around.
Faster Than a Wall Outlet
A Level 2 charger delivers 25-30 miles of range per hour—about 8x faster than a standard 120V outlet. A full charge takes 6-10 hours instead of 2-3 days.
Increase Home Value
EV adoption is growing fast. A pre-wired charging station makes your home more attractive to buyers and future-proofs your property.
Vacation Rental Amenity
EV charging is one of the top amenities vacation rental guests search for. Adding a charger to your coastal rental sets you apart from the competition.
Panel Upgrade Included
Many older homes need a panel upgrade to support a 50-amp EV circuit. We assess your panel and handle the upgrade if needed—one contractor, one project.
How It Works
Step 1
Site Evaluation
We check your panel capacity, assess the best charger location, and determine if a panel upgrade is needed.
Step 2
Charger Selection
We help you choose the right charger for your vehicle—Tesla, ChargePoint, and other major brands, indoors or out.
Step 3
Permit & Installation
We pull the permit, run a dedicated circuit to the charger location, and mount and wire the unit.
Step 4
Testing & Walkthrough
We test the charger with your vehicle and walk you through the features and app setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
What charger should I get for my EV?
Most EVs work with any J1772 Level 2 charger. Tesla owners can use a Tesla Wall Connector or any J1772 charger with the included adapter. We most often install a 40-amp hardwired unit, which pairs with the dedicated 50-amp circuit we run and delivers full Level 2 charging speed. We'll help you choose the best option for your vehicle and budget.
Will my panel support an EV charger?
An EV charger needs a dedicated 50-amp, 240V circuit. If your panel is 200 amps with available space, you're likely good to go. If your panel is 100 amps or full, you'll need an upgrade first. We assess your panel capacity during the site evaluation—no guesswork.
How long does installation take?
A straightforward installation—panel has capacity and the charger location is near the panel—takes 3-5 hours. If a panel upgrade is needed or the run is long (detached garage, far side of house), it can take a full day or two. We give you a clear timeline in your estimate.
Can you install a charger at my vacation rental?
Absolutely. We've installed chargers at vacation rentals across the North Coast. An EV charger is a top-searched amenity on rental platforms. We can install outdoor-rated, hardwired units that are durable and guest-friendly. Some owners see higher booking rates after adding a charger.
How much does EV charger installation cost?
It depends on your panel's spare capacity, how far the charger sits from the panel, and which unit you choose. If your panel needs upgrading first, that's a separate line item. We assess the site and give you one written estimate covering the charger, the circuit, and the permit.
Do I need a permit for an EV charger?
Yes, adding a dedicated 240V circuit requires an electrical permit in Oregon. We handle all permit paperwork and schedule the required inspection as part of our service.
"Bogh Electric installed a level two electric car charger for us. It needed to be installed in a tricky spot, about 50 feet from our house. They came up with a solid plan to get it adjacent to our parking spot. Colten worked for two days (in steady rain!), and did a great job on the install. We highly recommend Bogh Electric and will definitely hire them for our next project."
