EV Charger Installation in Texas
One request. We pass it to an installer who covers your ZIP and does residential work.
⚡ Check your utility first
Several utilities serving Texas offer rebates on residential Level 2 installs, and the rules differ — some require you to use an approved contractor or enrol in an EV rate plan before the work is done. Your electricity bill tells you which utility serves your address; check their EV pages before booking anything.
💰 The federal credit has an address test
The federal 30C credit covers a share of installation cost up to $1,000 on a home charger — but since 2023 it only applies to properties in an eligible census tract. Neighbouring streets can differ, so check your address and confirm with a tax professional. We’re a directory, not tax advisers. IRS guidance.
What a Level 2 install costs
Straightforward install
$400–$1,200 labour — panel has spare capacity, short run to the garage.
The charger
$200–$900. Some automakers include one — check before buying.
If the panel needs upgrading
$1,500–$4,000 on top. Common in older housing on 100-amp service.
The variable is almost always your electrical panel, not the charger. If you’re on 100-amp service already running a dryer, range and central air, expect a load calculation before a firm price. Ask about load management devices too — they often let a charger share an existing panel for far less than a service upgrade.

Questions people actually ask
Do I need a permit in Texas?
Almost certainly. Most jurisdictions require an electrical permit for a Level 2 installation, pulled with your local municipality. Most installers include it — confirm rather than assume, since an unpermitted install can complicate a home sale and may void a rebate.
My house is on 100-amp service — is that a problem?
Not necessarily. Load management devices can let a charger share an existing panel, usually far cheaper than a service upgrade. Ask about that before agreeing to a panel replacement.
Can I claim a utility rebate and the federal credit?
Generally yes, they’re separate programmes — but you can’t recover more than you spent, and the federal credit has the census-tract restriction above.
How long does it take?
A few hours for a straightforward Level 2. A panel upgrade makes it a full day plus a separate inspection.
