Can I Add an EV Charger?
Yes — and you don't need to be a Venture Home solar customer to get one.
We install EV chargers for any homeowner in our service area.
What We Install
We install Level 2 home chargers — the right solution for overnight home charging.
Level 2 specs:
- Adds 20-30 miles of range per hour of charging
- Most drivers wake up to a full battery every morning
Charger Options
We can install any charger brand, but we recommend two:
Tesla Universal Wall Connector
- ✓ Works with any EV (not just Teslas)
- ✓ Sleek design
- ✓ Smart charging features
- ✓ Integrates with Tesla solar and Powerwall
Best for: Tesla solar/Powerwall owners, or any EV driver wanting premium features
Enphase EV Charger
- ✓ Integrates natively with Enphase solar and battery systems
- ✓ Solar-prioritized charging — maximizes clean energy use
- ✓ Minimizes grid draw
Best for: Enphase solar/battery owners wanting seamless integration
Recommendation
If you already have an Enphase or Tesla solar system, the matching charger gives you the best integration and monitoring experience.
If you have a different system or no solar at all, either charger works well.
Panel Upgrades
If your electrical panel doesn't have capacity for a Level 2 charger:
- ✅ We handle the panel upgrade as part of the project
- ✅ You don't need a separate electrician
Incentives
Several states and utilities in our service area offer rebates for EV charger installation.
These change frequently — contact our team for current programs available in your area.
See [[srecs-and-incentives|SRECs and Solar Incentive Programs]] for other available incentives.
