Shocking Electric Solutions, Inc. installs home EV chargers for homeowners in Fayetteville, GA. As a licensed Georgia electrical contractor (license EN216120) based at 1002 Highway 16 W, Suite A, in Newnan, we serve Fayetteville and the rest of Fayette County. Our job is to make home charging simple and safe: confirm your electrical system can support it, install a dedicated circuit where you park, handle the permit, and leave you with a clean installation you do not have to think about.
Home Charging Across Fayetteville
Fayetteville is the Fayette County seat, and its housing ranges from established neighborhoods around the historic courthouse square to newer communities on the north side of town, including Trilith, and subdivisions spread along the main corridors. The electrical systems in those homes vary just as much. A home built in the last few years may have a 200-amp panel with open spaces ready for a charger. A home built a few decades ago may have a smaller service, a crowded panel, or a garage that is far from the panel. We plan each installation around the house in front of us.
Many Fayetteville residents commute toward Atlanta or the airport, and that daily mileage is a big reason to install Level 2 charging at home. Plugging in overnight on a dedicated 240-volt circuit generally covers a typical day of driving with room to spare.
Choosing the Right Charger Setup
There are two main ways to set up Level 2 charging at home, and we help you choose based on your vehicle, your charger, and your panel:
- NEMA 14-50 outlet. A 240-volt receptacle for plug-in chargers or the mobile cord that came with many EVs. It is flexible if you switch vehicles or chargers later.
- Hardwired wall charger. The charger is connected directly to its circuit. This is common for higher-output units and gives a tidy, permanent installation.
Charger output is tied to the size of the circuit. A higher-amperage circuit charges faster, but it also asks more of your panel. If you have not bought a charger yet, we can help you match the charger rating to what your electrical service can comfortably support, so you do not pay for capacity you cannot use.
The Panel Comes First
Before quoting a charger installation, we evaluate your panel and service. An EV charger is a continuous load that can run for hours at a time, often overnight while other appliances, such as HVAC and water heaters, are also running. Our evaluation covers:
- Electrical service size and main breaker rating
- Available breaker spaces
- Existing large loads, including HVAC, ranges, dryers, water heaters, pools, and shop equipment
- The route and distance from the panel to your charger location
When the panel has room, installation is usually simple. When it does not, we explain the options. Those may include a lower charging setting, load management equipment where appropriate, or a panel or service upgrade. Our electrical service upgrade page explains what an upgrade involves. We only recommend a panel upgrade when your load calculation shows it is needed.
What’s Included in Our EV Charger Installation
- On-site evaluation of your panel, service, and parking area
- A written estimate before work begins
- A dedicated 240-volt circuit with the breaker and wire sized for continuous EV charging
- GFCI protection where current code requires it
- Neat routing through the attic, crawlspace, or exposed in conduit along garage walls
- Installation of a NEMA 14-50 receptacle or mounting and connecting a hardwired charger
- Permit and inspection with the City of Fayetteville or Fayette County, depending on your address
- Testing and a walkthrough so you know which breaker serves the charger and how it is protected
Garage, Carport, or Driveway
Most Fayetteville homeowners charge in an attached garage, but we also install chargers for carports, detached garages, and driveways. Outdoor and detached installations need equipment rated for the location and careful planning of how the circuit gets there, sometimes with a trench or a run along the exterior of the house. We will look at the options with you and recommend the most practical location. If you live in a community with an HOA or design guidelines, check what they allow for exterior equipment before installation.
Two EVs, or Planning Ahead
Households with two electric vehicles, or one now and another planned, should say so at the evaluation. Depending on your panel, we may recommend two circuits, a single charger that can be shared, or chargers that can split available power. Planning for the second vehicle now can save you from redoing work later.
An EV project is also a natural time to add whole-home surge protection at the panel, or a generator transfer switch if you want backup power for essential circuits.
How It Works
Step 1: Get in touch
Call (678) 552-9399, text (470) 516-7261, or book online. Share your vehicle and charger model if you know them.
Step 2: Evaluation and estimate
A licensed electrician evaluates your panel and the charger location and provides a written estimate.
Step 3: Permit and installation
We pull the permit, install the circuit and charger, and coordinate the inspection. Many installations are completed in one visit.
Step 4: Testing and walkthrough
We confirm everything works and show you how the circuit is protected.
Fayetteville EV Charger FAQ
Do I need a permit?
A new 240-volt circuit for an EV charger generally requires an electrical permit and inspection. We take care of it.
How fast will a Level 2 charger charge my car?
It depends on your vehicle’s onboard charger and the circuit size. Level 2 charging is typically several times faster than plugging into a standard 120-volt outlet. We will help you choose a setup that matches your vehicle.
Can you install a charger if my panel is full?
Often, yes, but it depends on your loads. After evaluating your panel, we will explain whether we can make room, use a lower setting, or recommend a panel upgrade.
Do you install chargers I bought online?
Yes. Let us know the model so we can confirm the circuit requirements before the visit.
Do you offer after-hours or emergency service?
No. Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, and installations are scheduled during those hours.
