Off-Peak EV Charging Station Installation MN
Fill Up for Pennies
Stop paying gas station prices. By installing a dedicated off-peak charger, you can fuel your vehicle overnight for a fraction of the cost—waking up to a full battery every morning.
The charger that came with your car (Level 1) only adds 3-5 miles of range per hour. A proper Level 2 installation adds 30-40 miles per hour, fully charging even large SUVs overnight.
Installation Options
We install for all major brands: Tesla, Ford, Rivian, ChargePoint, and more.
Hardwired
Recommended. We wire the charger directly into a junction box. This is safer, looks cleaner, and allows for faster charging speeds (up to 48A or 60A) than a plug-in unit.
NEMA 14-50
We install a heavy-duty 240V outlet (like an electric range outlet). This allows you to plug in a mobile connector. Note: Standard "dryer outlets" are often not rated for continuous EV duty cycles.
Off-Peak Metering
To get the special rate, we install a separate sub-meter or configure your main meter to time-of-use. You simply program your car to start charging at 10 PM.
