Home charging is the whole point of owning an EV. No detours to a public station, no waiting around while you run errands, just plug in at night and drive in the morning. The problem is that a standard 120-volt outlet was never meant for the job and can take well over a day to fully charge a vehicle. A Level 2 charger on a dedicated 240-volt circuit solves that, and it needs to be installed by a licensed electrician to be done safely and to code.
That is where we come in. Loyal Lab Electric & Generators installs residential and commercial EV chargers across Dover, Portsmouth, Rye, and the wider NH Seacoast, led by a NH master electrician. We help you choose the right charger for your vehicle and your panel, pull the permits, and handle the install from start to finish.
If you drive an electric vehicle, charging at home is the fastest and most convenient way to start every day with a full battery. Most EVs come with a Level 1 charger that plugs into a standard 120-volt outlet, but a full charge can take 40+ hours. A Level 2 charger installed on a dedicated 240-volt circuit cuts that down to 6-10 hours overnight.
At Loyal Lab Electric & Generators, we install EV chargers for homeowners across Dover, Portsmouth, Rochester, and the NH Seacoast. We work with all major brands including Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, Emporia, and Grizzl-E, and we’ll help you choose the right charger for your vehicle and your electrical system.
If your panel doesn’t have room for a new 240-volt circuit, we’ll assess whether a panel upgrade is needed and handle everything in one visit when possible.
Most EV charger installations in Dover, Portsmouth, and the Seacoast take 2-4 hours. Here’s how the process works:
We start by assessing your electrical panel to make sure you have capacity for a dedicated 240-volt, 50-amp circuit. If your panel is full or undersized, we’ll discuss your options for a panel upgrade before moving forward.
Next we determine the best location for your charger. Most homeowners want it in the garage near the driver’s side charging port, but we also install outdoor units on driveways and carports. We run the circuit, mount the charger, and test everything before we leave.
We install Tesla Wall Connectors, ChargePoint, Emporia, Grizzl-E, NEMA 14-50 outlets, and any other Level 2 charger you prefer. If you’re not sure which one is right for your vehicle, we’ll help you decide.

Level 1 charging uses a standard 120V household outlet and provides about 3-5 miles of range per hour. Level 2 charging station installations use 240V power and can provide 25-40 miles of range per hour, making them ideal for home EV charging needs.
Most EV charger installation projects in Dover, Portsmouth, and Rye are completed within 2-4 hours, depending on your electrical panel’s capacity and the distance to your parking area.
Yes, most Tesla charger installation and Level 2 charging station projects require electrical permits. Our team handles all permitting and inspection requirements.
Absolutely! While we’re experienced in Tesla charger installation, we install universal charging solutions compatible with Ford Lightning, Chevy Bolt, BMW i4, Audi e-tron, and all other electric vehicles.
That’s one of the first things we check during our assessment. Many homes in Dover, Portsmouth, and the Seacoast have 200-amp panels with room to add a 50-amp EV circuit. If your panel is 100-amp or close to capacity, we may recommend a panel upgrade first. We’ll give you the full picture before any work starts.
