Public charging stations — North Charleston, SC
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
When you look at the cost of getting an EV charger installed at your home, a few main things change the bottom line. The biggest factor is how far your electrical panel is from where you want the charger; longer wiring runs mean more materials and labor. You also have to consider if your current panel has enough available amperage to handle the new circuit, or if you need an expensive service upgrade. Additionally, the type of charger you choose and the difficulty of running conduit through walls or attics play a role.
About this service
Public charging stations are units located in malls, parking garages, or along highways that allow you to charge away from home. You rely on these for road trips or if you lack home charging access. If you are a business owner interested in hosting these stations to attract customers, we provide the installation services to get the equipment connected. Installation costs are typically higher for public sites due to utility coordination and trenching. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Level 1 EV chargers use a standard 120-volt household outlet and provide the slowest charging speed, adding only a few miles of range per hour. Level 2 chargers, on the other hand, utilize a 240-volt circuit, similar to appliances like dryers, and can charge an EV significantly faster, typically adding 20-30 miles of range per hour. This makes Level 2 the practical choice for most homeowners.
