Local pros with 25 years of average experience

That is the Mr. Electric standard, backed by the Neighborly Done Right Promise.

There are two types used in residential settings. Level 1 chargers use a standard 120V outlet and add about 2 to 4 miles of range per hour. They come with most new electric vehicles and require no special wiring. Level 2 chargers run on a 240-volt outlet and add 12 to 32 miles of range per hour, depending on the unit's amperage (typically 16 to 80 amps). For most drivers, a Level 2 unit is the practical choice for home use. Our pros will help you pick the right model for your vehicle and your home's electrical setup.

It depends on your current panel's capacity and age. Many homes in the Greensboro area have 100-amp or 150-amp panels that may already be near capacity. A Level 2 charger on a 40-amp dedicated circuit adds meaningful load. Our electrician will run a load calculation during the site visit and tell you exactly what your panel can handle. If an upgrade is needed, we provide a quote for that work at the same time so you can make an informed decision.

Most residential installations are completed in one day. If your home already has adequate panel capacity and the charger location is close to your panel, the job may take three to four hours. If we need to run a longer circuit, add a breaker, or upgrade your panel, the timeline extends accordingly. We give you a realistic timeframe during the estimate so you can plan your day.

Yes, in most cases. A new 240-volt circuit requires an electrical permit from the City of Greensboro or Guilford County, depending on your property's jurisdiction. Mr. Electric of Greensboro pulls the required permits and schedules inspections. This protects you when you sell your home and confirms the work was done to code.

A hardwired charger is wired directly into your electrical system with no outlet in between. A plug-in unit connects to a 240-volt outlet (NEMA 14-50 or similar) that we install. Both options are safe and code-compliant. Plug-in units are easier to take with you if you move. Hardwired units are often preferred for permanent installations and may support higher amperage. Our team will explain the trade-offs for your specific situation.

We install all major residential EV charger brands, including units with J1772 connectors (compatible with most non-Tesla EVs) and Tesla connectors, including the Tesla Wall Connector. If you drive a Tesla, your vehicle also accepts J1772 with an adapter. We do not sell chargers directly, but we can advise on UL-certified models that meet North Carolina installation standards and work well with your vehicle.

Yes. Many homeowners in Greensboro, Summerfield, and Oak Ridge prefer an outdoor-rated charger mounted on an exterior wall or near a detached garage. We install NEMA 4-rated, outdoor-rated chargers designed to handle North Carolina's humidity, heat, and occasional ice. We also ensure the wiring run is properly protected with conduit rated for outdoor use.

We serve Greensboro and the surrounding Triad area, including High Point, Jamestown, Browns Summit, Oak Ridge, Summerfield, Whitsett, Pleasant Garden, and Stokesdale. If you are unsure whether we cover your address, call us today, and we will confirm.

Duke Energy offers rebate programs for qualifying residential EV charger installations. The availability and amount of those rebates can change, so we recommend checking Duke Energy's current residential EV programs directly. Our team can advise on what documentation you may need from the installation to support a rebate application.

Yes. A Tesla Wall Connector is a Level 2 charger designed specifically for Tesla vehicles. It runs on a 240-volt circuit and delivers up to 44 miles of range per hour, depending on the vehicle model. It is not the same as a Tesla Supercharger, which is a commercial DC fast-charger. We install Tesla Wall Connectors and standard J1772 Level 2 units for all other EV brands.

Yes, with the right setup. If your home has a solar energy system and a battery like a Powerwall 3, you can route solar generation to charge your EV during daylight hours. The integration depends on your inverter, battery, and panel configuration. Our team can evaluate your existing solar setup and advise on how to connect your EV charger to maximize solar use. We do not handle solar installation, but we work alongside solar installers on the electrical side.

Call us today to schedule your site evaluation. We will send a licensed electrician to assess your panel, confirm your charger location, and provide a written upfront quote.
