Electric cars are becoming more common in Douglas County. Charging at home is one of the easiest ways to own an EV. Instead of driving to a public charger and waiting, you can plug in at night and wake up with a full battery. A home charging station is faster and safer than using a regular outlet. It also saves time and often costs less over the long run.


EV Charger for your home

EV Charger for your home

A proper EV charger needs the right wiring and a good electrical panel. That is where Hawkeye Electric helps. Our licensed electricians check your home’s wiring, make sure the panel can handle the extra load, and install a charger that fits your car. We follow local codes and safety rules so your charger works well and keeps your home safe.


There are different kinds of chargers. Level 1 chargers use a normal outlet and are slow. Level 2 chargers need a special circuit and charge much faster. Most homeowners choose Level 2 because it fills the battery overnight and is ready for daily driving. Hawkeye Electric can explain the options and recommend the best charger for your needs and budget.


Installing a charger also means thinking about placement. You want the charger near where you park and where the cable reaches easily. Our electricians help pick the best spot and hide wiring so it looks neat. We also test the charger after installation to make sure it works with your car and your home’s electrical system.


If you plan to buy an EV or already own one, installing a home charger is a smart step. It makes daily life easier and adds value to your home. Hawkeye Electric serves Douglas County and nearby areas. We offer clear pricing, friendly service, and fast scheduling.
