Shocking Electric Solutions, Inc. installs Level 2 home EV chargers for homeowners in Peachtree City, GA. We are a licensed Georgia electrical contractor (license EN216120) based at 1002 Highway 16 W, Suite A, in Newnan, and Peachtree City is one of the communities we serve most often. We handle the whole job: checking whether your panel can support a charger, running a dedicated circuit to the right spot, pulling the permit, and making sure the finished installation is safe and code-compliant.
EV Charging in a Golf Cart Town
Peachtree City is known for its network of multi-use paths, and many garages here already have a golf cart plugged in. That matters when you add an electric vehicle. A golf cart charger, a second refrigerator, a freezer, a workshop, and now an EV may all be sharing the same garage circuits and the same panel. Before we install anything, we look at what is already connected so the new charger gets its own properly sized circuit and does not share one with your cart charger or garage outlets.
It also means planning the layout. Where does the EV park, and where does the golf cart park? Which side of the garage is closest to the panel? Answering those questions up front lets us put the charger where the cable reaches comfortably without stretching across the floor or crowding the cart.
Level 1 vs. Level 2 Charging
Most EVs come with a cord that plugs into a standard 120-volt outlet. This Level 1 charging works, but it is slow, often adding only a few miles of range per hour. For many drivers, that is not enough to recover a full day of driving overnight.
A Level 2 charger runs on a 240-volt dedicated circuit, the same type of circuit used by an electric dryer or range. It charges several times faster than Level 1 and is what most EV owners choose for home charging. There are two common ways to set it up:
- A NEMA 14-50 outlet for a plug-in charger or the mobile connector that came with your vehicle. This keeps things flexible if you change chargers later.
- A hardwired wall charger, which is connected directly to the circuit. Hardwiring is often required or recommended for higher-output chargers and can be a cleaner installation in a garage.
We will help you pick the setup that fits your vehicle, your charger, and your panel. If you have not bought a charger yet, we can explain what amperage makes sense for your home before you buy.
Can My Panel Handle an EV Charger?
This is the most important question, and we answer it before quoting the job. Many Peachtree City homes were built in the 1970s through the 2000s. Some have 200-amp service with room to spare. Others have smaller services or panels that are already full. Our evaluation looks at:
- The size of your electrical service and main breaker
- How many open breaker spaces you have
- Your existing large loads, such as HVAC, electric water heaters, ranges, dryers, pool equipment, and golf cart chargers
- The distance and route from the panel to your parking spot
If your panel has room, the installation is usually straightforward. If it does not, we will explain the options, which can include a lower-amperage charger setting, a load management device where appropriate, or an electrical panel upgrade in Peachtree City. We will not recommend a panel upgrade unless the numbers call for it.
What Our EV Charger Installation Includes
- Site and panel evaluation to confirm capacity and choose the location
- A written estimate that spells out the circuit, the wire run, and any panel work
- A dedicated 240-volt circuit sized to your charger’s requirements
- Proper breaker and wire sizing for continuous charging loads
- GFCI protection where required by current code
- Clean wire routing through the attic, crawlspace, or along garage walls in conduit, depending on your home
- Mounting and connecting a hardwired charger, or installing a NEMA 14-50 outlet for a plug-in unit
- Permit and inspection handled by us with the City of Peachtree City or the correct local office for your address
- Testing and a walkthrough so you know how the circuit and charger are protected
Outdoor and Driveway Chargers
Not every home has a garage, and some Peachtree City homeowners prefer to charge in the driveway. Outdoor installations are common, but they need equipment rated for wet locations, appropriate mounting, and careful routing of the circuit. We will look at the options with you and recommend a location that is practical and code-compliant. If your HOA has guidelines about exterior equipment, it is a good idea to check them before installation.
Pairing an EV Charger with Other Upgrades
An EV charger project is a good time to look at a few related improvements:
- Whole-home surge protection at the panel to help protect the charger, HVAC, and electronics. See our surge protection page.
- A generator transfer switch if you want backup power for key circuits. See generator transfer switches.
- Better garage lighting so the charging area is well lit. See our page on lighting installation in Peachtree City.
- Added garage outlets on separate circuits for tools, freezers, and cart chargers.

Peachtree City EV Charger FAQ
Do I need a permit to install an EV charger?
In most cases, yes. A new 240-volt circuit generally requires an electrical permit and inspection. We take care of that for you.
How long does installation take?
Most installations with a nearby panel and open breaker spaces are finished in one visit. Longer wire runs or panel upgrades add time, and we will tell you up front.
Can I install a charger if my panel is full?
Sometimes. Depending on your loads, we may be able to free up space, use a lower charging setting, or recommend a panel upgrade. We will explain the options after evaluating your system.
Will a charger interfere with my golf cart charger?
Not if each has its own appropriate circuit. Part of our evaluation is making sure the EV charger is on a dedicated circuit and that your panel can support both.
Do you offer 24-hour service?
No. Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. EV charger installations are scheduled during those hours.
