EV Charger Installation for Kittery Homeowners
Level 2 Home Chargers
Tesla & Universal Connectors
Wired Safely to Code
Aces Highlands handles ev charger installation for homeowners throughout Kittery. We work out of 508 Riverside St Unit 1 in Portland, a short drive into York County, so response times stay quick and every job benefits from knowing the local housing stock and code requirements.
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.

Kittery Homes and What They Need
Kittery has the oldest housing stock of the York County coastal towns Aces serves, with a median build year of 1965 and about 25 percent of homes predating 1940 (46 percent predating 1960) -- fitting for a town that has been incorporated since 1647. On homes this old, a rewiring project often turns up several generations of electrical work layered on top of each other.
Power, Storms and Wiring in Kittery
Central Maine Power serves Kittery, with no municipal electric utility in town. Given how much of Kittery's housing predates 1960, older panels and knob-and-tube wiring are a routine find, and panel upgrades are frequently the first step before adding a heat pump or EV charger.
Getting to Know Kittery
Kittery was incorporated in 1647, making it the oldest incorporated town in Maine, and sits as the state's southernmost town, across the Piscataqua River from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, established in 1800 on Kittery's Seavey's Island, was the U.S. Navy's very first federal navy yard.
During the Revolutionary War, some of the first vessels ever built for the U.S. Navy, including the USS Ranger under John Paul Jones, were constructed right on Kittery's Badger's Island -- a history that still shapes the town's identity along the water.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
Aces Highlands answers to Kittery homeowners directly, not a franchise office somewhere else in the country. Nobody on our crew works on commission, so there is no incentive to sell you more than the job needs. That is how we keep customers calling back, one honest job at a time.
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 Kittery
Electrical work in Kittery is licensed and permitted under Maine's Electricians' Examining Board, which adopted the 2026 National Electrical Code effective July 1, 2026. Kittery's Code Enforcement Department issues electrical permits directly ($30 base fee) under the National Electrical Code; code compliance is certified by the installing Maine-licensed electrician via a signed Electrical Installation Code Compliance Affidavit, and no separate municipal field inspector is named — it is unconfirmed whether inspection defaults to the State of Maine electrical inspection program. Kittery is a peninsula/estuary town bordered by the Piscataqua River, Spruce Creek, Spinney Creek and Chauncey Creek, with dedicated Shoreland Property Owner and Flood Hazard Permitting pages and adopted 2024 FEMA floodplain maps.
- 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
- The Electricians' Examining Board's own notice confirms the same adoption: 'The Maine Electricians' Examining Board has adopted a new Chapter 120, Electrical Installation Standards, incorporating the 2026 NEC by reference... All installations of electrical equipment commencing on or after July 1, 2026 must comply with the NFPA standard 70, National Electrical Code (2026 edition).' maine.gov
How Aces Highlands Handles EV Charger Installation in Kittery
- 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.
- A Level 2 charger often means a load calculation against your existing service — if it's tight, that's a conversation with Central Maine Power (CMP) before we schedule the install.
- Check with us on Efficiency Maine's current EV-charger incentive before you plan the budget; program terms change and we keep the up-to-date figure on hand.

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.

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!

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.

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.
