EV Charger

If You Bought the Car of the Future, Why Are You Still Charging Like It’s 2008?

Driving an electric vehicle is a step into the future—but waiting overnight for a full charge on a factory-issued plug is anything but modern. Whether you need a simple Level 1 setup in your garage, a fast Level 2 charger outside your home, or a commercial-grade supercharger for your business, Tropical Electric and Lighting installs EV charging stations that are fast, reliable, and built for Florida’s climate.

We install the right charger on a dedicated circuit that protects your vehicle, your panel, and your investment.

What We Do Best

Level 1 and Level 2 Home EV Charger Installs
We install manufacturer-recommended chargers for every major EV brand including Tesla, Ford, Rivian, Chevrolet, Nissan, and more. Depending on your needs, we offer:

Level 1 plug-in options for overnight charging

Level 2 wall-mounted systems for rapid charging in a few hours

Dedicated circuits with GFCI protection and surge management

Indoor garage or weather-rated outdoor installs

We work clean, wire it right, and explain your system before we leave.
Exterior EV Charging Solutions
No garage? No problem. We install outdoor-rated charging stations on concrete pads, carports, or mounted to sidewalls. Every install is tailored to your property layout and wired for long-term use in Florida’s weather.
Panel Evaluation and Circuit Mapping
Many homes in Marion, Lake, and Sumter counties need a panel evaluation before installing a charger. We assess your electrical load, add a dedicated circuit, and make upgrades if needed to ensure your new charger runs safely without tripping breakers or overloading your system.

Popular questions

Can I install a Level 2 charger with a 100-amp panel?

Possibly. We assess your load capacity and recommend upgrades if needed.

Why should I upgrade from Level 1 to Level 2 home charging?

Level 1 charging (standard 120V outlet) is extremely slow, often taking 20+ hours for a full charge. A Level 2 charger installed by Tropical Electric uses a dedicated 240V circuit, allowing you to charge your vehicle 3 to 7 times faster, typically reaching a full battery overnight.

Does my electrical panel need an upgrade for an EV charger?

Not always, but many older homes in Ocala and The Villages have 100-amp panels that are already near capacity. Tropical Electric performs a load calculation to determine if your panel can safely handle the 40-60 amp draw of an EV charger. If necessary, they provide seamless panel upgrades to support your new vehicle.

Where is the best place to install a home EV charger?

The most common location is the garage, near the vehicle’s charging port. However, Tropical Electric also performs outdoor installations for driveways or carports. They use weather-rated equipment and secure conduit to ensure your charger remains safe and functional regardless of Florida’s sun and rain.

How do I get an estimate for an EV charger install in Ocala?

You can request a free estimate by calling (352) 492-3427 or visiting tropicalelectricfl.com. Tropical Electric provides transparent, upfront pricing based on the distance from your panel to the charger and the current capacity of your home’s electrical system.
