More homeowners and businesses in Butler and Warren County are adding electric vehicle charging, and doing it right means more than plugging a charger into an existing outlet. Orth Electric installs Level 2 EV charging stations for residential garages and driveways, and for commercial applications including workplace charging, multi-family properties, and fleet charging setups. Every installation starts with an evaluation of your existing electrical panel to confirm it has the capacity for a dedicated charging circuit, or to scope the upgrade if it does not. For larger commercial or fleet-scale needs, DC fast charging is a specialized project we can evaluate and scope separately from standard Level 2 work.
A Level 2 charger needs a dedicated circuit sized correctly for the charger and your panel's actual available capacity, and that is where a lot of EV charger installs go wrong when the panel is not evaluated first. We check your service and panel capacity before recommending equipment, handle the permitting that residential and commercial EV installations typically require, and run a properly sized dedicated circuit to the charger location, whether that is a home garage or a row of chargers in a commercial parking area. For workplace, multi-family, and fleet accounts, we scope the project around how many vehicles need to charge and how the load is distributed.
It depends on your panel's total capacity and what else is already running on it. We evaluate your panel before installation and will tell you honestly whether it can support a dedicated EV charging circuit as-is or whether an upgrade is needed first.
In most cases, yes, a residential EV charger installation requires an electrical permit and inspection. Requirements can vary by jurisdiction, so we handle the permitting process for you as part of the installation.
Level 2 charging is what most homes and many businesses use: a 240-volt dedicated circuit that charges a vehicle over several hours. DC fast charging delivers much higher power for rapid charging and is typically a larger-scale commercial or fleet project, which we can scope separately.
Yes. We handle workplace charging, multi-family property installations, and fleet charging setups, which usually involve planning the electrical distribution and load across several chargers rather than a single dedicated circuit.
Placement depends on where your vehicle parks, where your panel is located, and cable reach. We walk the site with you, recommend a location that works for daily use, and run the dedicated circuit to that spot.
