Our Recommendation
For most EV owners in the Portland area, Level 2 charging is the way to go. It provides enough overnight charging for daily driving, handles longer commutes with ease, and future-proofs your home for your next EV.
If you drive less than 30 miles per day and have a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), Level 1 may work—but you'll still benefit from the convenience of Level 2.

What Portland-Area Homeowners Say About Our EV Charger Installs
“This was such a great experience. I had called some other businesses to help get my home set up to charge my new EV and felt like a burden, but then I connected with Jeff who was friendly, responsive, honest, and just overall extremely helpful. Their assistant was also engaged in the process to help keep things moving along and I truly have zero notes on how this experience could have been better! They are amazing here and I’d strongly recommend starting with Nexus before choosing anyone else.”

“Great company to work with! Nic, the estimator, was friendly, knowledgeable, and got us a quote quickly. He made the whole process easy and answered all of our questions.
The team showed up on time, installed the EV charger and new light fixtures in a couple locations, and did a great job. Everyone was professional, and the work turned out excellent. We will definitely use them again and we’ve recommended them to numerous friends already”

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about EV charger installation in Portland Metro
-
Not always. We'll evaluate your available panel capacity and breaker space during the assessment. Many homes have enough capacity for a 40-50 amp EV circuit without any upgrades.
If your panel is full or undersized (100 amps or less), we'll explain your options—including a panel upgrade or load management solutions. No guesswork involved.
-
Most EV charger installations in the Portland metro area cost between $500 – $1,500, depending on:
Distance from your electrical panel to the charger location
Whether a new circuit or subpanel is needed
Permit and inspection fees (Washington County, City of Portland, etc.)
Charger type (NEMA outlet vs. hardwired unit)
We provide clear, upfront quotes with no hidden fees. Request an estimate to get your exact price.
-
Many installations can be completed in a single visit—typically 2-4 hours for a straightforward install where the panel is close to the charger location.
More complex jobs (longer wire runs, panel upgrades, or outdoor installations) may take a full day. We'll give you a time estimate upfront so you can plan accordingly.
-
Yes! We regularly install customer-supplied chargers including Tesla Wall Connectors, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, and others.
We'll confirm compatibility with your electrical system, ensure the circuit and protection meet code and manufacturer requirements, and handle all permitting and inspection.
-
NEMA 14-50 outlet: A 240V outlet that lets you plug in a portable Level 2 charger. Great for flexibility—you can unplug it and take it with you, or swap chargers in the future.
Hardwired charger: Permanently connected to your electrical system. Required for some chargers (like certain Tesla Wall Connectors), and often provides a cleaner look with no visible outlet.
Both deliver the same charging speeds. We can help you decide which is right for your setup.
