About ChargeInstaller
We built this directory because finding a good EV charger installer shouldn't require a PhD in electrical engineering.
Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Abdullah Orani
Abdullah has spent years researching the residential EV infrastructure space, tracking installer certification programs, utility rebate availability, and local permitting requirements across all 50 states. He founded ChargeInstaller after experiencing firsthand how difficult it was to find a qualified, fairly-priced electrician for a home charging setup — and discovering that no single resource existed to solve that problem at a national scale.
He oversees all editorial content on ChargeInstaller, including the cost guides, rebate data, and installer verification criteria. He can be reached at [email protected].
Why We Exist
When Abdullah first looked into getting an EV charger installed at home, he ran into the same problem everyone does: there's no easy way to find a qualified installer, compare prices, or figure out what rebates you qualify for. You end up Googling for hours, calling random electricians, and hoping for the best.
ChargeInstaller was built to fix that. We research the local details — which utility serves your area, what rebates are actually available right now, what permits cost, and who the certified installers are — so you don't have to piece it together yourself.
What Makes Our Data Different
Every city page is built from real data — utility names, rebate program status, permit fees, and average installation costs pulled from actual sources, not generic estimates. When a rebate is tapped out or a program changes its terms, we update it.
Our installer listings are sourced from the EVITP (Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program) certification registry, direct submissions from installers, and web enrichment to verify active businesses, contact details, and EV-specific certifications. We filter for licensed, insured contractors and flag credentials that actually matter for this type of work.
How We Pick "Best" Installers
When we rank installers on our "Best of" city pages, we look at a combination of factors:
- EVITP certification (specialized EV charger training)
- Active state electrical contractor license
- Customer review ratings from multiple sources
- Years of experience with EV-specific installations
- Service area coverage and responsiveness
Paid listings are clearly marked. An installer's ranking is based on the criteria above — paying for a premium listing gets you more visibility, not a higher rank.
Our Cost Data
The cost estimates on this site are compiled from multiple sources: installer quotes, publicly reported pricing data, utility program documentation, and permit fee schedules from local building departments. We update these regularly, but prices change — always get written quotes from multiple installers for your specific situation.
Editorial Independence
Our cost guides and blog content are editorially independent from our business listings. Installers who pay for premium listings do not influence our cost estimates, rebate information, or editorial recommendations. When we recommend checking a specific utility program or warn about a rebate being tapped out, that's based on research, not sponsorship.
