TL;DR: Just bought an EV in NWA and need a Level 2 charger installed? Franklin runs the dedicated 240V circuit from your panel to your charger, pulls the permit, handles the inspection, and mounts your customer-supplied unit (Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, Wallbox Pulsar, Emporia, etc.). EV charger circuits start at $995, all-in — includes up to 5 ft of wire and a circuit breaker. Price grows with longer panel-to-charger runs, higher amperage, conduit, or trenching. Quotes are free — no service-call fee, no obligation. We’ll evaluate your panel for free at the service call.

What’s actually involved in an EV charger install?

It looks like “just plug it in” from the outside — but a Level 2 charger pulls 30–50 amps of continuous load, which is more than almost anything else in your home. Done wrong, it’s a fire risk. Done right, it’ll outlast your car. Here’s what a proper install looks like:

1. Panel evaluation. Your electrician checks your panel’s capacity, available breaker space, and existing load. Most modern 200A panels handle a Level 2 charger easily. Older 100A or heavily-loaded panels may need a panel upgrade or a load-management device first.

2. Circuit routing. We map the shortest, cleanest path from your panel to where the charger will mount. Garage installs are easiest; driveway pedestals and detached-garage installs take more conduit and sometimes a trench.

3. Breaker + wiring. We install the correctly-sized double-pole breaker (usually 40A or 50A, depending on your charger’s spec sheet), pull copper wire of the right gauge, and run it through conduit or in-wall where appropriate.

4. Outlet or hardwire. Plug-in chargers terminate in a NEMA 14-50 receptacle. Hardwired chargers terminate in a junction box wired directly to the unit — required by some chargers at 48A+.

5. Charger mount + commissioning. We mount your charger, terminate the wiring, set the amperage on the unit (per the manufacturer’s manual), and confirm a clean charging session before we pack up.

6. Permit + inspection. We pull the electrical permit at the start of the job and coordinate the city inspection after. You get the inspection paperwork on file with your home — useful for resale.

Chargers we install

You bring the unit, we install it. Common ones we see in NWA garages:

Tesla Wall Connector. Most popular for Tesla owners. Hardwired install; supports up to 48A on a 60A circuit.

ChargePoint Home Flex. Works with every EV (J1772 connector). Plug-in (NEMA 14-50) or hardwired. WiFi-enabled.

Wallbox Pulsar Plus. Compact, fast, app-enabled. Hardwired install.

Emporia EV Charger. Budget-friendly with load-management features that can let you avoid a panel upgrade.

Grizzl-E. Heavy-duty, no-frills, made in North America. Popular for outdoor/driveway installs.

Ford Charge Station Pro. Required for Ford Lightning home backup; 80A circuit needed.

Got a brand not on this list? No problem — we install whatever Level 2 charger you bring. Just send us the manufacturer and model when you book and we’ll review the spec sheet ahead of time.

Pricing

The biggest variables in an EV charger install are distance from panel to charger, amperage, and panel capacity. A short run in a garage attached to the panel is the cheapest scenario. A long run to a detached garage or driveway pedestal — especially one that requires trenching — costs more. If your panel needs to be upgraded first, we’ll quote both the upgrade and the EV install so you can decide.

I have been using Franklin AC Plumbing and Electrical now for the last 10 years. Have had nothing but great service from them. I recently had the pleasure of meeting with Ayden to repair a leaky shower valve. Ayden assessed and repaired the problem. No more leak! Thank You Franklin and thank you Ayden….

Francisco did a great job! He was prompt and very professional!

****Updated Review**** Management reached out to me. Maybe the call center rep wasn't understanding my issue. The Samsung part was again defective which is not a reflection on Franklin as it turns out. They were very hands on in resolving this issue under warranty. The owner even reached out to me a few days later to be sure the unit was functioning correctly. I really appreciate their quick attention to this matter! I purchased a Samsung Mini Split that has leaked Freon since installation. I’m always assured that “this time it’s been taken care of” only to have the problem happen the next Spring. Then the person answering the phone doesn’t listen or look at the previous calls and starts to insinuate that it hasn’t been maintained etc. I did have another HVAC company look at it and was told it was installed wrong. I only use it during the summer and at night. just want a working unit that doesn’t have to be charged every Spring for a few months of working.

Axell was great and friendly. He did a thorough job in checking everything out for me. He knows what he is doing and I will always ask for him every time I need something from Franklin.

FAQ

Common EV charger install questions.

How fast can you install my EV charger?
Most single-unit installs are same-day or next-day once we’ve confirmed your panel can support the circuit. We schedule a 1–2 hour window and complete the typical install in a single visit. Book online or call (479) 282-0003 and we’ll give you the soonest available window.
How much does EV charger installation cost?
A standard Level 2 EV charger circuit starts at $995 with a customer-supplied charger — that base price includes up to 5 ft of wire and the circuit breaker. Final price depends on the distance between your panel and the install location (longer runs cost more), the amperage your charger requires (typically 40A or 50A), and whether any drywall, conduit, or trenching work is needed. Quotes are free — no service-call fee, no obligation. Pricing includes parts and labor; sales tax not included, and rates can shift over time, so your electrician will quote the exact flat-rate price on-site before any work begins.
Do you supply the EV charger, or do I?
You supply the unit. Customers typically buy the EV charger that’s recommended by their car manufacturer (Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, Wallbox Pulsar, Emporia, etc.). Franklin handles the circuit, breaker, conduit, mounting, and wiring — everything from your panel to the charger.
Will my electrical panel support an EV charger?
Most modern 200A panels handle a Level 2 EV charger without trouble. Older 100A or 125A panels — or panels that are already heavily loaded — may need a panel upgrade or a load-management device first. Our electrician will evaluate your panel capacity at the service call and walk you through the options before anything is touched.
Do I need a permit for an EV charger install?
Yes — Northwest Arkansas cities require an electrical permit for a new 240V circuit. Franklin pulls the permit, schedules the inspection, and handles the paperwork. Permit and inspection costs are included in the install quote.
Plug-in (NEMA 14-50) or hardwired — which should I choose?
Either works. A NEMA 14-50 plug gives you flexibility if you ever move or upgrade your charger. A hardwired install is required by some chargers at the higher amperage settings (48A+) and looks cleaner on the wall. Your electrician will walk through the tradeoffs based on your charger’s manual and your install location.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Yes. Every Franklin technician works under our Arkansas state licensing, and we're fully insured (general liability + workers' comp). Our team is also background-checked and drug-tested. Email us if you'd like proof of license and insurance.
Do you guarantee the work?
Yes — every job is backed by the Franklin Service Guarantee. If something we repaired or installed isn't right, we'll come back and make it right at no charge.
What is the $29 service call?
It's our diagnostic visit. A licensed technician comes out, figures out what's actually going on, and gives you an all-in flat-rate price for the repair before any work starts. If you decide not to move forward, you only owe the $29 — no penalty. Replacement quotes (water heaters, AC systems, panels, etc.) are always free.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We've teamed up with Wells Fargo to offer financing on home repairs over $500, upon credit approval. See our financing page for current promotions, or ask your technician for options before approving the quote.
Do you offer services other than this?
Yes — Franklin handles HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work. Same crew, same $29 service call, same flat-rate guarantee.
