Making the switch to an electric vehicle is an exciting step toward cleaner, more efficient transportation. But to get the most out of EV ownership, you need a licensed electrician who understands both the technical requirements and local regulations. R&A Langevin provides expert EV charger installations throughout Southern New Hampshire and Northern Massachusetts — installed safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with NEC Article 625 and all local codes.
Installing a home EV charging station isn’t just about mounting a unit on your garage wall. It requires careful assessment of your home’s electrical infrastructure, proper load calculations, and adherence to safety standards that protect both your vehicle and your property. Based in Pelham, NH, we bring deep knowledge of local building codes, permit requirements, and the unique electrical challenges facing homeowners in our region.
We perform load calculations before any work begins to confirm your panel can handle the continuous 40–60 amp draw of Level 2 charging — or we'll tell you upfront if an upgrade is needed.
Our electricians hold current licenses in both states, meeting all safety requirements and qualifying you for available rebates — including the NH Electric Cooperative's $300 charger incentive.
Every install meets NEC Article 625 requirements — proper GFCI protection, correct grounding, and dedicated circuit specifications for EV charging systems.
We handle all permitting and inspection requirements with your local authority — so your installation is on record, inspected, and fully compliant from day one.
Most homeowners installing an EV charger will want a Level 2 charger, which operates on 240 volts and can fully charge most electric vehicles in 4–8 hours — perfect for overnight charging. Level 2 charging requires specific electrical infrastructure that many homes don’t have in place yet. Here’s what’s involved:
EV chargers are continuous loads under the National Electrical Code, requiring a dedicated 240V circuit sized at 125% of the charger's rated amperage. For a typical 40-amp charger, this means a 50-amp breaker and appropriately sized wiring throughout the run.
We evaluate your existing panel for both physical space and adequate capacity to handle the additional load. Many older homes with 100-amp service may require an upgrade to 200 amps to safely accommodate EV charging alongside other household demands.
Current code requires ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection for EV charging equipment. We install GFCI breakers or GFCI-protected receptacles as required by your specific installation and any local amendments to the electrical code.
Proper grounding is essential for safety. We ensure your EV charging circuit is correctly bonded to your home's grounding system, meeting all NEC requirements for fault protection.
We visit your property to evaluate your electrical panel, determine the optimal charger location, measure the distance from panel to charging point, and calculate your home’s current electrical load. This comprehensive assessment allows us to provide an accurate quote and timeline, including any necessary panel upgrades or electrical service work.
Once you approve the proposal, we pull all required permits from your local building department and coordinate inspection schedules. Our licensed electricians then install your dedicated 240V circuit, mount your EV charging station, and ensure all connections meet manufacturer specifications and local code requirements. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your household.
Before we leave, we thoroughly test your charging station to confirm it’s operating correctly and safely. We provide a complete walkthrough of your new system, explaining how to use it, what maintenance it requires, and answering any questions you have. Your installation is backed by our service guarantee and one-year warranty on workmanship.
