Installing an EV Charger at Home in Avondale or Phoenix? Here’s Why Now is the Time

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming a common sight on Arizona roads—and for good reason. They’re efficient, environmentally friendly, and increasingly affordable. Whether you’ve just purchased a Tesla, a Ford Mustang Mach-E, or a Chevy Bolt, installing a home EV charging station is the smartest way to power your car and your future.

If you live in Avondale, Phoenix, Goodyear, or surrounding communities, you’re in one of the fastest-growing regions for EV ownership. But before you rely solely on public charging stations—or attempt a DIY setup—consider the benefits of professional, licensed installation from a trusted local contractor.

At JRod Electric LLC, we’ve been powering Arizona homes for over 26 years. As a licensed, bonded, and insured electrical contractor (ROC# 337770), we specialize in Level 2 EV charger installation, panel upgrades, and energy-efficient solutions that make your home EV-ready and future-proof.

Here’s why now is the best time to install a home charging station—and why choosing the right electrician makes all the difference.

 

  1. Convenience You Can’t Beat

One of the biggest benefits of installing a home EV charger is convenience. No more waiting in line at public stations or planning your day around finding a plug. With a dedicated charger in your garage or driveway, you can charge overnight while you sleep—and wake up to a full battery every morning.

In Arizona, where long commutes across Phoenix, Avondale, and Tolleson are common, reliable overnight charging is a game changer. Plus, charging at home protects your vehicle from extreme weather while eliminating the need to hunt for a charger in 110° heat.

 

  1. Faster Charging with Level 2 Stations

While most EVs come with a Level 1 charger that plugs into a standard 120-volt outlet, charging this way can take 20 to 40 hours for a full charge. That’s fine in emergencies—but not ideal for daily use.

A professionally installed Level 2 charging station, however, delivers 240 volts and can charge most EVs in 4 to 8 hours.

JRod Electric LLC installs a wide variety of Level 2 chargers across the West Valley, including:

  • Tesla Wall Connector
  • ChargePoint Home Flex
  • JuiceBox
  • Grizzl-E
  • Wallbox Pulsar Plus

We help you choose the best option based on your vehicle, panel capacity, and usage habits—and we handle all the wiring, breaker installation, and safety inspections.

 

  1. Save Money Over Time

Charging at home in Goodyear or Phoenix can reduce your vehicle’s energy costs significantly—especially if you take advantage of Arizona’s off-peak utility rates offered by companies like APS and SRP.

By charging during off-hours (typically overnight), you’ll pay less per kilowatt-hour and keep your energy bills manageable. Over time, this adds up to substantial savings compared to relying on public or commercial stations.

Plus, if your home has solar panels, we can help you configure your charging system to integrate with your solar setup for maximum energy efficiency.

 

  1. Boost Your Home’s Value

With EV adoption on the rise, more homebuyers are looking for properties that are EV-ready. In fact, homes with EV chargers installed tend to sell faster and at higher prices, particularly in areas like:

  • Litchfield Park
  • Avondale
  • Glendale
  • South Phoenix

Installing a Level 2 EV charger is an investment not only in your vehicle—but also in your property’s resale appeal.

 

  1. Qualify for Incentives and Tax Credits

Homeowners in Arizona may be eligible for:

  • Federal tax creditsof up to 30% of the cost of EV charger installation (including labor)
  • Utility rebatesfrom providers like SRP and APS
  • Local green energy incentivesbased on your city or HOA

At JRod Electric LLC, we stay up to date with available programs and can guide you through the paperwork to maximize your savings. The sooner you act, the more you may be able to claim.

 

  1. Ensure Safety and Code Compliance

Installing a Level 2 EV charger involves high voltage electrical work—and should never be attempted without proper training or licensure.

DIY installations or hiring an unlicensed handyman can result in:

  • Overloaded electrical panels
  • Fire hazards
  • Improper grounding
  • Failed inspections
  • Voided manufacturer warranties
  • Insurance claim denials

As a licensed, bonded, and insured Arizona contractor, JRod Electric LLC ensures that your EV charger is:

  • Wired correctly
  • Properly grounded
  • Installed with appropriate breakers
  • Fully compliant with National Electrical Code (NEC)standards
  • Inspected and permitted as required

We’ve successfully completed installations throughout Phoenix, Goodyear, and Avondale, working with homeowners, HOAs, and builders.

 

  1. Prepare for the Future of Transportation

Electric vehicles aren’t just a trend—they’re the future of transportation. As more automakers go all-electric and cities like Phoenix expand EV infrastructure, installing a home charger is a smart way to stay ahead.

Whether you’re a current EV owner or planning to purchase in the next few years, JRod Electric LLC can prepare your home with:

  • Dedicated 240V lines
  • Panel capacity evaluations
  • EV-compatible outlets (like NEMA 14-50 or 6-50)
  • Concealed wiring and sleek mounting solutions

Want a weatherproof outdoor EV charger for your driveway? We do that too.
