Residential EV Charger Installation – Lehigh Acres, FL

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: RESIDENTIAL EV CHARGER INSTALLATION – LEHIGH ACRES, FL

Our team at Coharbor Electric was recently called out to a residence in Lehigh Acres, FL 33936, to complete a dedicated EV charger installation. The homeowner had just purchased their first electric vehicle and wanted the convenience of charging at home without relying on public charging stations.

WHAT WE DID:

• Installed a Level 2 EV charger on a new 240V dedicated circuit for faster charging.

• Ran new wiring from the home’s main electrical panel to the garage location chosen by the homeowner.

• Installed surface-mounted conduit for protection and neatness, keeping the setup both code-compliant and clean.

• Mounted the charging unit securely on the garage wall at a safe and convenient height.

• Performed a full load calculation to ensure the existing panel could handle the additional demand.

• Tested the charger under load and walked the homeowner through basic operation and safety guidelines.

THE RESULT:
The homeowner now has a reliable, safe, and efficient charging solution right in their own garage. By installing a Level 2 charger, they can fully charge their vehicle overnight, saving time and avoiding the hassle of waiting at public charging stations. The installation not only adds convenience but also increases the overall value and future-readiness of the home. Everything was installed neatly, safely, and in compliance with NEC code requirements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does it take to install an EV charger?
Most home EV charger installations are completed within half a day (around 3–5 hours), though it may take longer if additional panel upgrades are required.

Do I need a permit?
Yes. Coharbor Electric handles the entire permitting and inspection process to ensure your installation meets all local codes.

What kind of charger was installed here?
We installed a Level 2 charging station, which is the most practical option for homeowners. It provides significantly faster charging than a regular 120V outlet.

Can every home support a Level 2 EV charger?
Not always. That’s why we check your existing panel capacity with a load calculation. If upgrades are needed, we can take care of that as part of the project.

Does Coharbor Electric serve areas outside Lehigh Acres?
Yes — we regularly perform EV charger installations throughout Fort Myers, Naples, Cape Coral, Estero, Bonita Springs, and nearby areas.
