L3 EV Chargers LLC · Level 2 · Hollywood, Florida

Charge at home.
Leave the driveway Charged.

Level 2 is the home install that actually works: a dedicated 240-volt circuit, 40 or 48 amps, permitted and inspected, mounted where you park. Overnight, a battery-electric car wakes up full. This is most of the residential work we do.

  • Dedicated 40- or 48-amp 240-volt circuit
  • Tesla Wall Connector, universal J1772, or a NEMA 14-50
  • Load calculation before anyone orders hardware
  • Permit and inspection included in the work
  • Outdoor-rated gear and driveway boring when the path needs it
  • Hollywood shop — we work the whole state

What Level 2 actually is

240 volts. Overnight, you are done.

Level 2 is AC charging at 240 volts — the same voltage as a dryer or a range. A 40-amp circuit gives you about 7.7 kW; 48 amps about 11.5 kW. That is 25 to 40 miles of range per hour on most cars. Park at 8 p.m., leave at 7 a.m. with a full battery. It is not DC fast charging. It does not need a transformer in the parking lot. It does need a panel that can take the load.

The panel is the job

We start with a load calculation, not a wall-unit brochure. A 200-amp service with headroom is a straightforward homerun. A 100-amp mid-century CBS house in Hollywood, or a panel already full of two ACs and a pool heater, is a different conversation — load-managed charger, subpanel, or service upgrade, quoted as its own line. We will not hang a 48-amp circuit on a service that cannot carry it.

Hardwired vs a 14-50 receptacle

A Tesla Wall Connector or a hardwired J1772 unit (ChargePoint, Wallbox, Emporia) is cleaner outdoors and what most inspectors prefer. A NEMA 14-50 receptacle is the right call if you want to keep a portable EVSE or move the charger later. We will say which one fits the car and the wall. We will not upsell a smart charger because it photographs well.

Driveway or sidewalk in the way? We bore it. That writeup is on the commercial page; the same crew does the house.

Book a home assessment How a home job runs

In-house, not subcontracted

How we put conduit in the ground without tearing up the property

Most electricians trench. That means a saw cut through asphalt or concrete, a ditch through the lawn, and a restoration bill that often rivals the charger itself. We keep directional drilling and missile boring in-house so the electrical crew and the underground crew are the same company — same schedule, same warranty.

Horizontal directional drilling

A compact drill rig stages at one end of the planned path. The operator drills a small-diameter pilot hole under the driveway, sidewalk, parking lot, or landscaping, steered by a locating beacon in the drill head. When the pilot comes out at the far pit, conduit is attached to a reamer and pulled back through the hole. The only disturbed ground is the entry pit and the exit pit — typically a few square feet each.

We use HDD when the run is longer, needs to curve around utilities, or has to stay a designed depth under a finished surface.

Missile boring

For shorter, straight crossings — a driveway, a sidewalk, a parking aisle — a pneumatic piercing tool (the “missile”) is launched from a small pit. Compressed air drives it through the soil in a straight line. Conduit is then pulled or pushed through the hole. Faster and lighter than a full HDD spread, and the right tool when you only need to get under twenty to forty feet of pavement.

If the path is short and straight, missile boring is usually the cleaner, cheaper answer. We will tell you which method actually fits rather than selling the bigger machine.

The other two levels

Same company. Different job.

Three levels, three pages. Level 1 is a 120-volt circuit. Level 2 is overnight 240-volt at the house. Level 3 is DC fast charging on a lot. Same Hollywood shop.

L1

120-volt trickle

A dedicated household circuit. Slow, cheap, and the honest answer for a plug-in hybrid or a car that sits for days.

Level 1 install →

L2

240-volt overnight

The useful home install. A permitted 40- or 48-amp circuit so a battery electric car wakes up full.

This page

L3

DC fast charging

Commercial, fleet, and public stalls. Utility coordination, heavier gear, and conduit under a live lot.

Florida, on purpose

Shop is at 2021 Coolidge Street in Hollywood. The work is statewide. Each city page is written for that market — utility, housing stock, and permitting — not a find-and-replace of “your city.”
