Hardwired EV charger installation in Denver, CO — a direct-wired connection for a cleaner, permanent setup.
Hardwiring means the charger connects directly to your electrical circuit with no plug or outlet in between — the wiring runs straight from the panel (or a sub-panel) into the charger itself. It’s common for wall-mounted Level 2 chargers, including Tesla’s Wall Connector, and tends to support higher continuous amperage than a plug-in outlet install, since there’s no plug/receptacle rating limiting the circuit.
The tradeoff is permanence: a hardwired charger isn’t easily moved or swapped the way a plug-in unit is, so it’s worth confirming your mounting location before installation. The underlying work — load calculation, dedicated circuit, permit and inspection — is the same as any Level 2 install.
A plug-and-outlet connection is rated for a maximum continuous load lower than the circuit itself to account for the connection point — hardwiring removes that limitation, which is why higher-output chargers (Tesla’s Wall Connector at up to 48A, for example) are typically hardwired rather than plugged in.
Confirms your panel can support the hardwired circuit’s full amperage.
No outlet, wired straight from the panel to the charger location.
Permanent, code-compliant mounting at the correct height and location.
Handled as part of the job in most Denver-metro jurisdictions.
Hardwired installation typically falls in the $1,000-$2,500 range when the panel has available capacity, similar to other Level 2 installs — the main cost difference from an outlet install is the charger hardware itself. A panel upgrade, if needed, adds cost separately. See our full cost breakdown for exact scenarios.
Our network electricians confirm your mounting location and circuit sizing before wiring begins — a hardwired install is more work to relocate later, so getting the placement right the first time matters.

A load calculation confirms your panel’s capacity for the hardwired circuit.
The charger is wired directly and mounted permanently.
You’re left with a clean, code-compliant hardwired setup.
It’s possible but more involved than a plug-in unit — the wiring itself would need to be extended or rerouted, not just unplugged.
No — many Level 2 chargers, including ChargePoint’s Home Flex, can be installed either hardwired or with a dedicated outlet. Tesla’s Wall Connector is hardwired-only.
The electrical work is similar; the main cost difference comes from the charger hardware itself, since a hardwired install skips the outlet but still needs the unit mounted and wired.
