Charge at home in Austin — installed by a licensed contractor, permitted, rebate-ready
If you just bought an EV in Austin, the dealer charger that came in the trunk isn’t enough. A Level 2 (240V) home charger adds roughly 25–35 miles of range per hour versus 3–4 on a standard outlet — the difference between waking up full every morning and babysitting a slow trickle. The contractors we match you with install hardwired and plug-in Level 2 chargers across Austin and the surrounding Hill Country suburbs, sized to your panel and pulled to City of Austin electrical code.
Your installer pulls the permit, schedules the inspection, and completes the 240V work to code. If Austin Energy is your utility, we’ll also point you to the rebate and help you choose a charger that qualifies.
The Austin Energy rebate: up to $500 on your charger
If Austin Energy is your electric utility, it rebates 50% of the charging station’s purchase price, up to $500, for a Power Partner℠ EV-compatible charger — you enroll in Power Partner EV, and you apply online after the charger is installed. The rebate is for the charger itself, not installation labor. We’ll help you pick a qualifying charger and point you to the official program.

Older Austin homes — Hyde Park, Travis Heights, Allandale — often run 100A or 125A panels with no room for a 40–60A charger circuit. Your installer assesses whether you need a panel upgrade, a load-management device, or just a clean new circuit. Panel upgrades for EV charging →

Most Austin Level 2 installs land between $500 and $2,000 before any rebate, depending on how far your panel sits from the charger location, whether the run is through finished walls, and whether your panel has capacity. If Austin Energy is your utility and your charger qualifies, the rebate returns up to $500 on the charger itself. Use our estimator to ballpark your install in about 30 seconds.

Austin EV charger installation FAQ
How much does it cost to install an EV charger in Austin?
Typically $500–$2,000 before any rebate, depending on distance from your panel, wall access, and panel capacity. If Austin Energy is your utility and your charger qualifies, the rebate returns up to $500 on the charger itself (not the installation).
Do I qualify for the Austin Energy rebate?
If Austin Energy is your utility, you enroll in Power Partner EV, and you install a qualifying Power Partner-compatible charger, you can get 50% of the charger’s price back, up to $500. Oncor and PEC customers have separate programs — we’ll help you check your address.
Do I need a panel upgrade for a Level 2 charger?
Not always. Many Austin homes have spare capacity for a 40–60A circuit. Older homes on 100A service may need a panel upgrade or a load-management device. Your installer runs the load calculation before quoting so there are no surprises.
Can I get a Tesla Wall Connector installed?
Yes — the contractors we work with install Wall Connectors, Mobile Connector outlets, and power sharing for multiple Teslas. It’s one of the most common Austin installs.
How long does installation take?
Most installs are done in 2–4 hours. Panel upgrades or long conduit runs can take a full day. Your installer schedules permitting and inspection around the work.
