EV Charger Installation Across the Grand Strand
Charging your electric vehicle at home should be as simple as plugging in overnight and waking up to a full battery. But getting there safely means more than buying a charger and an extension cord. An EV charger draws serious current, runs for hours at a time, and has to be wired on a dedicated circuit your panel can actually support. Done right by a licensed electrician, home charging is effortless and safe. Done wrong, it’s a fire risk. Greg Beverly Services, Inc. has installed home electrical systems across the Grand Strand since 1985, and we install EV chargers the way they’re meant to be installed — sized correctly, wired to code, and built to last in a coastal climate.
From our office in Murrells Inlet, we install Level 2 home chargers throughout Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Garden City, Pawleys Island, Carolina Forest, and the surrounding communities — for single-family homes, vacation properties, and rentals alike.

Professional EV Charger Installation Across the Grand Strand
The biggest difference in charging speed at home comes down to the charger level. A standard wall outlet (Level 1) adds only a few miles of range per hour — fine as a backup, but frustrating as a daily solution. A Level 2 charger runs on a 240-volt circuit and can fully charge most EVs overnight, which is why it’s the standard for serious home charging.
That 240-volt circuit is exactly why professional installation matters. A Level 2 charger needs a dedicated circuit, correctly sized wire, the right breaker, and a panel with enough available capacity. Greg Beverly Services handles all of it: we evaluate your electrical service, confirm your panel can support the load, install the circuit and charger to current South Carolina code, and pull permits where required. Every installation is performed by licensed, insured electricians — never subcontracted labor.
Our EV Charger Installation Services
We handle every part of getting your home ready to charge.
Level 2 Home Charger Installation
The core of what we do. We install 240-volt Level 2 chargers on a dedicated circuit, either hardwired or on a NEMA 14-50 outlet, positioned for convenient access in your garage, carport, or driveway.
Charger Brand & Hardware Options
Already bought a charger? We’ll install it. Still deciding? We’ll help you choose. We install Tesla Wall Connectors, universal J1772 chargers, and the major home charging brands, matching the unit to your vehicle and charging needs.
Panel Evaluation & Upgrades
Many older Grand Strand homes don’t have the spare panel capacity a Level 2 charger requires. We perform a load calculation and, if needed, recommend an electrical panel upgrade so your charger runs safely without overloading your service.
Multi-Charger & Rental Property Installation
Two EVs in the household, or a vacation rental that markets EV charging as an amenity? We design and install multi-charger setups and load-managed systems that share capacity intelligently.
EV-Ready Wiring for New Construction
Building or renovating? Pre-wiring for EV charging during construction is far cheaper than retrofitting later. Our residential construction electrical team builds EV-ready infrastructure in while the walls are open.
Outdoor & Coastal-Rated Installation
Charging in a carport or driveway means outdoor-rated equipment. We install weather- and corrosion-resistant hardware suited to the salt-air conditions of coastal South Carolina.
Not sure if your panel can handle a charger? Call (843) 651-6305 — we’ll find out before you spend a dollar on hardware.
Benefits of Professional EV Charger Installation
A Level 2 charger is a long-running, high-current appliance. Professional installation protects your home and your investment.
- Faster, full overnight charging. A properly installed Level 2 circuit charges most EVs completely by morning.
- Safety. A dedicated, correctly sized circuit eliminates the overheating and fire risk of improvised or undersized wiring.
- Code compliance. Permitted, inspected work protects your insurance and keeps the installation legal.
- Warranty protection. Many charger manufacturers require professional installation to honor the warranty.
- Coastal durability. Outdoor-rated, corrosion-resistant hardware stands up to salt air and humidity.
- Higher home value. A permanent, professionally installed home charger is an increasingly expected feature for coastal buyers.
Common Reasons You Need a Professional EV Charger Installer
Homeowners call us when:
- They’ve bought an EV and want fast, reliable overnight charging at home
- Level 1 charging is too slow for their daily mileage
- Their panel may not have capacity for a new 240-volt circuit
- They want a clean, permanent install rather than a cord run across the garage
- They’re adding a second EV and need additional or load-managed charging
- They own a rental and want to offer EV charging as an amenity
- They’re building or renovating and want EV-ready wiring done during construction
- A previous DIY or unpermitted install needs to be corrected and brought up to code
Our EV Charger Installation Process
We keep the process simple and transparent.
- Contact and discussion. Call or submit the contact form. We’ll ask about your vehicle, charger, and where you’d like it installed.
- On-site assessment. A licensed electrician evaluates your panel capacity, the run from the panel to the charger location, and the best mounting position.
- Written estimate. You receive a clear, line-item estimate — including any panel work — before we begin. No surprises.
- Installation. We install the dedicated circuit and charger to code, hardwired or on a NEMA 14-50 outlet, and pull a permit where required.
- Testing and walkthrough. We test the charger under load, confirm safe operation, and walk you through using it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to install an EV charger in the Grand Strand?
Most Level 2 home charger installations fall within a moderate range, with the main cost drivers being the distance from your panel to the charger location, whether a panel upgrade is needed, and the hardware you choose. We provide a written, line-item estimate after evaluating your panel so you know the full cost upfront.
How long does an EV charger installation take?
A straightforward Level 2 installation is often completed in a single day. If your panel needs an upgrade or the run to the charger is long or complex, it may take longer. We’ll give you an accurate timeline with your estimate.
Do I need a Level 2 charger, or is Level 1 enough?
Level 1 (a standard outlet) adds only a few miles of range per hour, which is fine as a backup but slow for daily driving. A Level 2 charger fully charges most EVs overnight and is the standard for home charging. We can help you decide based on your vehicle and driving habits.
Will my electrical panel support an EV charger?
Many homes can support a Level 2 charger, but older or fully loaded panels may not have the spare capacity. We perform a load calculation during the assessment and let you know whether your panel is ready or needs an upgrade before you purchase hardware.
Can you install a charger I already purchased?
Yes. We install Tesla Wall Connectors, universal J1772 chargers, and the major home charging brands. If you haven’t bought one yet, we’ll help you choose the right unit for your vehicle.
Do you pull permits for EV charger installations
Yes. Where required, we permit the installation through Horry or Georgetown County and wire it to current South Carolina code, which protects your insurance and your charger’s warranty.
Is it safe to install an EV charger myself?
A Level 2 charger runs on a high-current 240-volt circuit for hours at a time, so improper or undersized wiring is a real fire risk. Many manufacturers also void the warranty without professional installation. For safety and warranty coverage, a licensed electrician should handle it.
Can you install a charger outdoors or in a carport?
Yes. For driveway and carport charging we install outdoor-rated, corrosion-resistant hardware suited to coastal salt-air conditions, mounted and sealed to handle the weather.
Can you install chargers for two electric vehicles?
We can. For multi-EV households we install additional circuits or load-managed systems that safely share your home’s available capacity so both vehicles charge without overloading the service.
Do you offer EV charging installation for rental properties?
Yes. We install chargers for vacation rentals and investment properties looking to offer EV charging as an amenity, including durable, outdoor-rated hardware appropriate for guest use.
