A home EV charger pulls 40 to 60 amps on a dedicated 240V circuit. That is one of the highest electrical loads in your house — on par with a central air conditioner. The wiring, breaker, and connections must be sized exactly right to handle that draw safely every day.

Plugging your EV into a dryer outlet may seem like a shortcut. But dryer circuits are not built for the continuous high-amperage draw that EV charging demands. Running a charger on a shared circuit for hours each night can overheat the wiring and trip breakers. It also bypasses the manufacturer's installation requirements for your charger and your vehicle.

Many older Dallas homes in Lakewood and East Dallas have 100-amp or 150-amp electrical panels. These panels were designed for a time when homes used far less electricity. Adding a high-draw EV circuit to a panel that is already near capacity creates a real overload risk. A licensed electrician checks your panel's available amperage before any wiring begins.

Call Berkeys Plumbing, A/C & Electrical for a safe, code-compliant EV charger install in Dallas.

A Level 2 EV charger needs a dedicated 240V circuit rated at 40 to 60 amps. Your electrical panel must have enough open amperage to support this new load on top of everything else already running in your home. Without that capacity, adding a charger can overload the panel and create a fire hazard.

Here is what our Dallas electricians check before installation:

• Total panel amperage. A 100-amp panel may not have enough room for an EV circuit after accounting for your HVAC system, water heater, kitchen appliances, and other existing loads.
• Open breaker slots. Your panel needs space for a new double-pole breaker sized to the charger's amperage rating.
• Wire condition and gauge. Older wiring may not support a high-amperage run from the panel to the garage or driveway.
• Sub-panel option. If your main panel is full but still has available amperage, a sub-panel near the charger location can provide the dedicated circuit without replacing the entire panel.

Dallas homes in Park Cities and Highland Park built before the 1990s often have original 100-amp panels. These panels were designed for lower electrical demand. Modern EV charging, HVAC systems, and home offices push these panels beyond safe capacity. Upgrading to a 200-amp panel gives your home room to charge an EV and power everything else without strain.

Call Berkeys Plumbing, A/C & Electrical — we assess your Dallas panel and handle the full upgrade if needed.

Knowing what happens during your appointment removes the guesswork. Here is how our Dallas electricians install a home EV charger from start to finish.

1. Assess your electrical panel. We check available amperage, open breaker slots, and overall panel condition to confirm it can support the new circuit.
2. Determine the best charger location. We evaluate your garage wall, carport, or exterior near the driveway to find the safest and most accessible mounting spot.
3. Run a dedicated 240V circuit. We wire from the panel to the charger location using the correct gauge for the amperage rating and the distance of the run.
4. Install the breaker. We add a double-pole breaker in your panel sized to match the charger's amperage requirements.
5. Mount the charger and connect all wiring. We secure the unit to the wall, attach all conductors, and verify every connection is tight and to code.
6. Install surge protection. We add a dedicated surge protector on the EV circuit to guard your charger and vehicle electronics from voltage spikes.
7. Power on and test. We flip the breaker, confirm the charger powers up, and verify your vehicle connects and begins charging properly.

Dallas garages often sit 30 to 50 feet from the electrical panel. Longer wire runs require heavier gauge wire to prevent voltage drop and maintain safe performance. Our electricians calculate the exact wire size for your specific distance so the charger receives full, consistent power.

A standard 120V wall outlet can charge your EV — but it is painfully slow. Level 1 charging adds only 3 to 5 miles of range per hour. For a Dallas commuter driving 40 or more miles round trip each day, that is not enough to start every morning with a full charge.

A Level 2 charger runs on a dedicated 240V circuit and adds 25 to 40 miles of range per hour. Most EVs reach a full charge overnight — plug in when you get home, wake up ready to go. That speed makes Level 2 the standard for daily home charging.

The difference matters most during the workweek. If you drive to downtown Dallas and back each day, Level 1 may only replace half your range by morning. Level 2 replaces all of it with time to spare. You never leave the house wondering if you have enough charge to get through the day.

Dallas summers push AC systems hard, adding strain to your home's electrical load. Charging overnight during off-peak hours reduces demand on your panel and may lower your per-kilowatt rate with your Dallas energy provider. Our electricians set your charger up for the most efficient overnight charging schedule.

An EV charger is one of the most expensive electrical devices in your home. Your vehicle's onboard battery management system is even more costly to repair. A single power surge can damage both in a fraction of a second.

Power surges come from several sources. Lightning strikes are the most obvious, but grid switching, utility fluctuations, and even large appliances cycling on and off inside your home can send voltage spikes through your wiring. Any of these can reach your EV charger and pass harmful current into your vehicle's electronics.

A dedicated surge protector on your EV circuit catches these spikes at the panel before they travel down the line to the charger. It absorbs the excess voltage and keeps the current flowing at a safe, steady level. Whole-house surge protection adds a second layer of defense by guarding every circuit in your home — including the EV charger, HVAC system, and smart devices.

North Texas sees frequent severe thunderstorms from spring through fall. Dallas homes near White Rock Lake and University Park are especially exposed to lightning-related power surges during storm season. Adding surge protection at the time of charger installation is the simplest way to guard your equipment from day one.

Adding a home EV charger will increase your monthly electricity use. But the cost per mile for electricity is far less than the cost per mile for gasoline in a comparable vehicle. Most Dallas EV owners see real savings even after accounting for the higher electric bill.

How you charge matters just as much as how much you charge. Plugging in overnight during off-peak hours lowers your per-kilowatt rate with most Dallas-area energy providers. Texas operates on a deregulated energy market, which means you can choose an energy plan with lower overnight rates built specifically for EV owners and high-usage households.

A Level 2 charger is also more energy-efficient than Level 1. It charges faster with less idle draw on your electrical system. Less time plugged in means less wasted energy per session.

Our electricians can install your charger on a dedicated circuit that makes it easy to track exactly how much electricity your EV uses each month. A separate circuit also helps you compare energy plans and find the rate structure that works best for your charging habits. If your provider offers time-of-use rates, overnight charging becomes even more affordable.
