Level 2 Home Charging
EV Charger Installation in Portland, ME
Level 2 home EV charger installation in Portland — proper 240V circuit, permits pulled, every job up to code.
EV Charger Installation for Portland Homes & Businesses
Charging your EV at home is faster, cheaper, and far more convenient than relying on public stations. Goodnow Electric installs Level 2 (240V) chargers for Portland homeowners across Cumberland County, sizing the circuit correctly, confirming your panel can handle the load, and pulling the permit so the install is safe and inspection-ready.
Portland is Maine's largest city, and its housing stock runs from century-old peninsula triple-deckers on Munjoy Hill and the West End to new construction in Deering and along the waterfront. Goodnow Electric handles EV charger installation for Portland homeowners and businesses every week, and we know how the city's older wiring, tight lots, and permitting through the Inspections Division all factor into a clean, code-compliant job.
From garages in the West End, Munjoy Hill, and East Bayside to driveways throughout Portland, we install hardwired and plug-in Level 2 chargers compatible with Tesla, Ford, Rivian, GM, BMW, and every major EV. If your panel needs more capacity first, we will tell you up front and handle that too.

“After needing an emergency fix late on a cold winter's Sunday, Goodnow came to the rescue! With no power and dark approaching we called around and couldn't find any place that could help. When we gave Goodnow a call, Bret had one of his guys come over and help us out. David came over, checked things out, replaced some parts in our electrical box and we had light (and heat!!!) back again! So kind, helpful and a real life saver during emergencies!”
