Plugging a new EV into a standard wall outlet feels fine until you watch it gain three or four miles of range an hour and realize a full charge could take most of the week. A Level 2 charger changes that math entirely, refilling your battery overnight on a dedicated 240-volt circuit. Revival Electric installs Level 2 EV chargers for homeowners across Hellertown and the Lehigh Valley, handling the panel evaluation, the circuit, and the mounting so your car is ready to go each morning.
With three generations of electricians behind it, Revival Electric works out of Hellertown, Pennsylvania, and serves Bethlehem, Allentown, Easton, and the wider Lehigh Valley. The company specializes in Level 2 EV charger installation, covering panel and load evaluation, dedicated 240-volt circuit wiring, breaker sizing, and the mounting and connection of ChargePoint, Tesla, and other major home charging units. Owner Michael Cantilina is a licensed electrician with 23 years of experience, and the team installs every charger to code with wiring sized for the continuous load an EV demands.
Most new EV owners start by plugging the car into whatever 120-volt outlet sits closest in the garage. It works, technically, but the trickle is painfully slow, often adding only three to five miles of range per hour. For anyone with a real commute, that means the car never fully recovers overnight, and you spend more mornings than you would like watching the charge percentage and doing mental math about whether you will make it.
The bottleneck is the outlet itself. A standard 120-volt household circuit was built for lamps and small appliances, not the steady, hours-long draw of charging a vehicle. Push that kind of continuous load through ordinary wiring and you get slow charging at best, and heat buildup, nuisance breaker trips, or stressed connections at worst, especially in older Lehigh Valley homes with wiring that was never meant for it.
A Level 2 charger runs on its own 240-volt circuit, the same class of service that feeds a dryer or range, which roughly multiplies your charging speed several times over. We start by evaluating your panel and calculating your home's existing load to confirm there is room for the new circuit. From there the crew installs a correctly sized breaker, runs the proper gauge wire along the safest path to your charging spot, and mounts and connects your ChargePoint, Tesla, or other unit. Permits and inspection are included, and we test the charger before packing up.
With a Level 2 charger wired in correctly, your EV charges fully while you sleep and greets you with a full battery every morning. The slow trickle is gone, your wiring carries the load the way it should, and range stops being a daily worry. Plug in at night, unplug in the morning, and get on with your day.
Stepping up from a wall outlet to a properly installed Level 2 charger reshapes the way you live with an electric vehicle. Here is what that upgrade actually delivers.
A Level 2 charger refills your battery several times faster than a standard outlet, so even after a long day of driving, your EV is ready again by sunrise. Overnight charging becomes the norm rather than a hopeful guess.
We run a dedicated 240-volt circuit sized for the sustained draw an EV places on your system. That keeps the connection cool and steady and removes the breaker trips and heat issues that come from charging through an outlet never meant for the job.
Whether you have a ChargePoint unit, a Tesla Wall Connector, or another major brand, the team installs it to the manufacturer's spec. You are not locked into one product, and we help you get the most out of whichever charger fits your vehicle.
Before any wire is run, we check your panel's capacity and your home's current load. If your service needs attention to support the charger, you hear about it early instead of discovering it halfway through the job.
Each Level 2 EV charger installation carries a one-year workmanship warranty. If anything connected to our work needs a follow-up within that period, we come back and take care of it.

If your installation calls for a panel upgrade or a longer wire run, financing keeps the cost manageable. You will know the full scope and price before work begins, with nothing tacked on later.
Considerably faster. A standard 120-volt outlet adds roughly three to five miles of range per hour, while a Level 2 charger on a 240-volt circuit typically delivers several times that. For most drivers in the Hellertown area, that is the difference between a full battery by morning and a car that never quite catches up.
Many will, but it depends on your panel's capacity and what else is drawing power. We evaluate your panel and run a load calculation before installing, and if an upgrade is needed, we tell you up front. Older homes in the Lehigh Valley sometimes need a little attention here, which we sort out during the estimate.
Yes. We install ChargePoint, Tesla, and other major home charging units, wiring each to the manufacturer's spec. If you have not picked a charger yet, we are glad to talk through which one suits your vehicle and setup.
Yes. EV charger installations require a permit and inspection throughout the Lehigh Valley. Revival Electric pulls the permit and schedules the inspection so your charger is on record and code-compliant.
A typical residential install runs a few hours, depending on how far the charger sits from your panel and whether any panel work is involved. You will get a clear time estimate before we start.
