CLIENT REVIEWS
WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
I had Standtech work on two projects for me. I found the price quoted highly competitive with others I sought estimates from. Both of the project I contracted with Standtech for were completed on time and on budget. The work was performed as specified and those who did the work arrived on time, went about their business in highly professional manner, completed the work to my satisfaction and left things neat and clean. I was very satisfied with the work Standtech did on the two projects I hired them for and wouldn't hesitate to hire Standtech again.
Why Every EV Owner on Long Island Needs a Home Charger
Relying on public charging stations means waiting in lines, paying premium rates, and adjusting your schedule around someone else's infrastructure. A dedicated home EV charger eliminates all of that. You pull into your garage or driveway, plug in, and wake up to a full battery — every single morning. Level 2 home chargers deliver significantly faster charging speeds compared to a standard wall outlet, often adding 25 to 30 miles of range per hour. For most drivers, that means a full charge overnight without a second thought.

Beyond convenience, home EV charger installation can increase property value and reduce your long-term fuel costs dramatically. Charging at home during off-peak hours typically costs a fraction of what you'd spend at a commercial station — and even less with the right utility program.
How StandTech Electric Installs Your EV Charger
Every home and commercial property is different. That's why our process starts with a thorough electrical assessment before any equipment goes in. Here's what you can expect when you work with us:
- Site evaluation and panel inspection — We assess your existing electrical panel capacity, wiring, and the ideal charger placement for your vehicle and parking setup.
- Charger selection guidance — Not sure which charger fits your vehicle and lifestyle? We walk you through the options, from basic Level 2 units to smart chargers with scheduling and energy monitoring features.
- Permitting and code compliance — Most municipalities in New York require an electrical permit for Level 2 charger installations. We handle the paperwork, inspections, and ensure everything meets local and state electrical codes.
- Professional installation — Our licensed electricians complete the wiring, mounting, and connection with precision. Every installation is performed to the highest safety standards.
- Final testing and walkthrough — Before we leave, we test the charger, confirm it's operating correctly, and walk you through how to use it.
Electric Car Charger Options: Level 1 vs. Level 2
Understanding the difference between charger levels is essential before making a decision, and it's one of the most common questions we hear from customers.
A Level 1 charger uses a standard 120-volt household outlet. While it requires no special installation, it adds only about 3 to 5 miles of range per hour — meaning a full charge can take well over 24 hours for many vehicles. For most EV owners, this simply isn't practical for everyday use.
A Level 2 charger operates on a 240-volt circuit, the same type of outlet used for a clothes dryer or oven. It delivers a dramatically faster charge, typically adding 25 to 30 miles of range per hour. This is the charger type we install most frequently, and it's the standard recommendation for residential EV charging across Long Island and New York City.
For commercial properties, fleet operations, and multi-unit dwellings, we also consult on higher-output solutions and can help coordinate installations that serve multiple vehicles.
New York EV Charger Rebates and Incentives You Should Know About
One of the most compelling reasons to install an EV charger now is the range of financial incentives currently available to New York residents and businesses. These programs can significantly offset the cost of both hardware and installation.
- Federal Tax Credit — A 30% tax credit (up to $1,000 for residential installations) is currently available for qualifying charger hardware and installation costs. This incentive has a limited window, so acting sooner puts you in a stronger position.
- PSEG Long Island Programs — PSEG Long Island has offered rebates for qualifying Level 2 smart chargers. Eligibility depends on the specific charger model and program availability, so it's worth checking their current EV programs.
- Con Edison SmartCharge New York — Con Edison's program provides cash incentives for EV owners who charge during off-peak hours, helping reduce strain on the grid while saving you money.
- National Grid Charge Smart NY — National Grid offers monthly incentives for off-peak charging, rewarding EV owners who schedule their charging sessions during lower-demand hours.
- New York State Business Credit — Businesses installing public or workplace charging stations may be eligible for a state tax credit of up to $5,000.
Our team stays current on available programs and can help you understand which incentives apply to your installation. We make sure your setup meets the requirements that utility and state rebates typically require — including having the work completed by a licensed New York electrician.

Tesla Powerwall and EV Charger Integration
For homeowners looking to take energy independence even further, pairing an EV charger installation with a Tesla Powerwall creates a powerful combination. The Powerwall stores energy from the grid — or from solar panels — and can supply that stored power to charge your vehicle during peak-rate hours when electricity costs the most.
This integration allows you to charge your EV using stored energy during off-peak windows, reducing your electricity expenses and giving you backup power during outages. StandTech Electric has experience with Tesla Powerwall installations and can design a system where your home battery and EV charger work together seamlessly.
Who Benefits Most from an EV Charger Installation?
EV charger installation isn't a one-size-fits-all service. The homeowners and businesses we work with across Long Island and NYC come to us for different reasons, but they share common goals: convenience, cost savings, and future-readiness.
Homeowners with electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles who are tired of relying on slow Level 1 charging or inconvenient public stations. A dedicated Level 2 charger at home transforms the daily routine.
Property owners and landlords who want to increase the appeal and value of their rental or investment properties. EV-ready homes and apartments command stronger interest from today's buyers and renters.
Business owners and commercial properties looking to offer workplace or customer charging. Employee charging stations are an increasingly expected amenity, and customer-facing chargers can drive foot traffic.

Families planning their next vehicle purchase who want the infrastructure in place before the car arrives. Getting the electrical work done in advance means zero downtime when your new EV hits the driveway.
How Much Should an EV Charger Installation Cost?
The cost of installing an EV charger varies based on several factors specific to your property and electrical setup. There's no single price that applies to every home or business, which is why a professional assessment is the best starting point.
Key factors that influence installation cost include the distance between your electrical panel and the charger location, whether your panel has sufficient capacity or requires an upgrade, the type and brand of charger you select, local permitting fees, and any additional wiring or conduit work needed to reach the installation point. Properties where the panel is close to the garage or parking area will typically require less labor and materials than homes where long wiring runs are necessary.
StandTech Electric provides free estimates so you can understand exactly what your installation involves before committing. We walk through every cost component transparently — no hidden fees, no surprises. Call (516) 407-3737 to schedule your assessment.
Do I Need a Permit to Install an EV Charger in NYC?
Yes. In New York City, and throughout most of Long Island and the surrounding areas, an electrical permit is required for Level 2 EV charger installations. This is because the installation involves a dedicated 240-volt circuit, which must meet specific electrical codes to ensure safety and proper function.
The permitting process involves submitting an application to your local building department, having the work performed by a licensed electrician, and scheduling a post-installation inspection. Some homeowners in condos or townhomes may also need approval from their homeowners association or building management, though New York state law prevents HOAs from unreasonably denying a resident's right to install a charger.

StandTech Electric manages the entire permitting process for every installation we perform. From the initial application through final inspection, we handle the logistics so you don't have to.
What Stops Someone from Unplugging Your Electric Car?
This is a surprisingly common concern among EV owners, especially those who charge in shared driveways, apartment complexes, or commercial parking areas. The good news is that most modern electric vehicles feature a locking charge port that physically secures the charging cable to the car while it's charging. The cable cannot be removed without unlocking the vehicle.

Beyond the vehicle itself, many Level 2 smart chargers include features like cable lock mechanisms, user authentication, and app-based monitoring that alert you if charging is interrupted. For commercial or multi-tenant installations, we can recommend charger models with built-in access controls and tamper-resistant designs that add another layer of security.
How Much Does It Cost to Install a 240V Outlet for an EV Charger?
Installing a 240-volt outlet — the foundation of any Level 2 EV charger setup — involves running a dedicated circuit from your electrical panel to the charging location. The cost depends heavily on the specifics of your property, including the panel's current capacity, the distance of the wiring run, and whether any panel upgrades are needed to support the additional load.
Some homes already have a panel with available capacity and a short, straightforward path to the garage. In other cases, the installation may require a longer conduit run, a sub-panel addition, or a full panel upgrade. Each of these variables impacts the final scope and investment.

Rather than guessing, the most reliable approach is a professional site evaluation. StandTech Electric offers free consultations to assess your electrical system and provide a clear, detailed estimate tailored to your specific situation.
