EV Charger Installation for Kennebunk Homeowners
Level 2 Home Chargers
Tesla & Universal Connectors
Wired Safely to Code
Kennebunk homeowners call Aces Highlands for ev charger installation because we are close by, based at 508 Riverside St Unit 1 in Portland, and out on York County roads every day — we know this area's housing, weather and permit process cold.
Charge your electric vehicle at home overnight. Aces Highlands installs Level 2 EV chargers and Tesla Wall Connectors for homes throughout Greater Portland and Southern Maine — sized, wired, and inspected for safe, reliable charging.
A Level 2 charger adds roughly 25 to 30 miles of range per hour, so you wake up to a full battery every morning. We install Tesla Wall Connectors, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, and other universal connectors, running a dedicated 240-volt circuit from your panel to the garage or driveway with clean conduit and proper circuit protection.
Most EV charger installations require available capacity at your service panel. If your panel is full or still at 100 amps, our panel upgrade service brings it up to 200 amps so it can safely handle the added load. We pull permits and coordinate inspection so your installation is fully code-compliant.
We help you choose the right charger and amperage for your vehicle and driving habits, then mount and wire it for years of dependable use. We offer financing options to make your installation more affordable, and we handle any related wiring upgrades at the same time.

Kennebunk Homes and What They Need
Kennebunk has the newest median home of the five York County coastal towns Aces studied, built in 1983, with under 19 percent of units predating 1940 and about 30 percent predating 1960. That newer stock still runs plenty of aging original heating and electrical systems worth a checkup.
Power, Storms and Wiring in Kennebunk
Electric service in Kennebunk is genuinely split: the Kennebunk Light & Power District, a municipal utility running since 1893, serves parts of town along with pieces of Wells, Arundel and Lyman, while Central Maine Power covers the rest. Before scheduling a panel upgrade or service change, we confirm which of the two utilities actually serves your address.
Getting to Know Kennebunk
Kennebunk broke off from Wells and Arundel to incorporate as its own town on June 24, 1820; the name comes from an Abenaki word describing 'the long cut bank.' Its Summer Street Historic District, home to the Federal-style Wedding Cake House, was the very first historic district in Maine listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Kennebunk is also the hometown of U.S. Senator and Secretary of State Edmund Muskie and headquarters to Tom's of Maine. Since December 1893, part of town has been served by the Kennebunk Light & Power District, one of only two municipally owned Light & Power Districts left in the state.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
There is no franchise behind Aces Highlands — just a Portland-based crew that works Kennebunk under its own name. Nobody on our crew works on commission, so there is no incentive to sell you more than the job needs. We show up, fix the actual problem, and let the work speak for itself.
How an EV Charger Circuit Works
- Dedicated breaker — sized for the charger, shared with nothing else
- 240-volt circuit — run from the panel to the charger location
- Wall-mounted charger — converts panel power to a safe charge rate
- Charging cable — carries power to the vehicle
- Vehicle charge port — where the car actually receives the charge
Homeowner Guide
Home EV Charger Installation: The Electrical Side
An EV charger install is a small job on paper — one circuit, one device — but it's governed by its own section of the National Electrical Code and it's usually the single biggest new load a Maine home has added to its panel since central air. Here's what actually goes into sizing and permitting one.

Codes & Permits for EV Charger Installation in Kennebunk
Electrical work in Kennebunk is licensed and permitted under Maine's Electricians' Examining Board, which adopted the 2026 National Electrical Code effective July 1, 2026. Kennebunk processes electrical permits locally through its Code Enforcement Office (Code Enforcement Officer Frank Kunkel and Assistant CEO Dylan Muldowney), though the town's public staff directory does not list a separately named 'Electrical Inspector' position — it's unclear from public sources whether inspections are performed by the CEO/Assistant CEO or a contracted inspector. Kennebunk's Summer Street Historic District was the first historic district in Maine listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which can add review requirements for exterior work in that area.
- Efficiency Maine's residential rebate table (checked on the live site's cached content) lists an 'EV Charger' rebate of $400, available at all three of its income tiers — Low Income, Moderate Income, and Any Income — unlike its EV (vehicle) rebate, which is $8,000/$6,000 at the two income-qualified tiers and not available ('N/A') at the Any Income tier. The EV charger rebate is therefore open to all Maine residents, not just income-qualified ones, as of this research (Sep 2026). efficiencymaine.com
- Installing a new EV charger circuit is not 'minor repair work' under the state exemption list and requires the standard state or municipal electrical permit. maine.gov
- NEC Article 625 (added in the 1996 NEC) covers 'the electrical conductors and equipment external to an electric vehicle that connect an electric vehicle to a supply of electricity by conductive or inductive means, and the installation of equipment and devices related to electric vehicle charging.' Its scope has been updated through nine code cycles, most notably to add bidirectional-power provisions starting in the 2020 NEC. nfpa.org
- Maine's Electricians' Examining Board has adopted the 2026 edition of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), effective for all electrical installations commencing on or after July 1, 2026, subject to Maine's own amendments and exclusions set out in Chapter 120 (Electrical Installation Standards). The prior standard was the 2023 NEC, effective July 1, 2024. maine.gov
How Aces Highlands Handles EV Charger Installation in Kennebunk
- We install under NEC Article 625, and where it makes sense we use an energy-management system so the panel doesn't have to be sized for two chargers pulling full power simultaneously.
- Before we set a charger circuit we run the load calculation against what Primarily Central Maine Power (CMP); the Kennebunk Light & Power District (KLPD), a municipal utility, serves portions of Kennebunk (plus parts of Wells, Arundel and Lyman). already delivers to the house; a service upgrade sometimes has to come first.
- Efficiency Maine has run rebate programs for home Level 2 chargers in the past — ask us for the current amount and eligibility before you budget for one.

I've had an excellent experience working with them for both electrical and HVAC work as I remodel my 1785 home. I highly recommend them.
Malina Foss

I can not recommend Sam and his team enough!! In a world of slow response times and cut corners they went above and beyond in every area, installing a new electrical panel for me. Their attention to detail and love of their craft truly sets them apart from the rest!
Susan Donegan

We have called Samuel for our electrical needs over the last few years and have always been impressed with professional and courteous attitude — installing extra outlets, installing new lights and ceiling fans, our whole house generator, charger for the electric car, even the hot tub!!! His price was fair, and never disappointed when work was completed.

We highly recommend Highlands Heating & AC. They are extremely responsive, knowledgeable and do great work. Our boiler stopped working and Elijah was quick to respond after hours on a Friday. He installed a new boiler and heat pump hot water heater.

Highly recommend! Cannot thank them enough for fixing my water heater. Elijah is very reliable and communicative. No hassle, no phone tag, transparent with cost and quick to repair the issue. I know who to call if I need help again!

He was very friendly. He gave me an honest explanation on why I shouldn't recharge my A/C unit and what he suggested made much more sense. He really took care of everything. He is very professional, always called me with updates. 5 stars is not enough — I give this company 10 stars.
EV Charger Installation FAQs
What amperage EV charger should I get?
It depends on your vehicle’s onboard charger and your driving. A 40-48 amp unit is the common sweet spot for full overnight charging, but a 32-amp charger covers most daily commutes and may avoid a panel upgrade. We match the charger to your car, your miles, and your panel capacity.
How much does it cost to install a Level 2 charger at home?
Typically $800-$2,000 nationally including equipment, depending on wire run length and panel capacity. Installations needing a panel upgrade cost more. We give you a firm written quote up front — and if a smaller charger avoids the upgrade entirely, we will tell you.
Can my 100-amp panel support an EV charger?
Sometimes. A load calculation tells us whether your panel has headroom for a dedicated EV circuit or whether a lower-amperage charger or load-management device makes it work. If a 200-amp upgrade genuinely is needed, we handle that too — but we check the math before recommending it.
Can the charger be installed outside?
Yes. Most quality Level 2 chargers are rated for outdoor mounting, and we install them with weatherproof connections and proper circuit protection — built for Maine winters, snow and all.
Do you install Tesla Wall Connectors?
Yes — Tesla Wall Connectors, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Emporia, and other major brands. We can also install a NEMA 14-50 outlet if you prefer a plug-in charger, wired on a dedicated circuit with the correct GFCI protection.
