Ready to charge your electric vehicle at home or at your business? Borges Electric provides professional EV charger installation throughout New Jersey, including the electrical upgrades that may be required to safely support your new electric vehicle charger.
Whether you’re installing a charger for a Tesla, Ford, Rivian, Chevrolet, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Kia, or another electric vehicle, our licensed electricians can evaluate your existing electrical system, determine the available electrical capacity, and provide a complete installation.

Does Your Electrical System Have Enough Power for an EV Charger?
One of the most important steps before installing an EV charger is determining whether your existing electrical system has enough available capacity.
Electric vehicle chargers can represent a significant new electrical load. Depending on your existing electrical service, electrical panel, and other equipment in the building, additional electrical work may be required.
Borges Electric can evaluate your existing electrical system and perform the necessary load calculations to determine whether it can accommodate the proposed EV charger.
If additional capacity is needed, we’ll explain your options and recommend an appropriate solution.
Electrical Service & Panel Upgrades for EV Chargers
Some homes and commercial buildings may require additional electrical capacity before an EV charger can be installed.
Depending on the existing electrical system and charging requirements, this could include:
- Electrical panel upgrades
- Electrical service upgrades
- Increased electrical service capacity
- New dedicated EV circuits
- Additional electrical panels or subpanels
- Replacement of outdated electrical equipment
- Utility coordination
- Load management solutions when appropriate
Our goal is to provide an EV charging solution that works with your property and your electrical system—not simply install a charger without considering the additional demand it places on the system.
Residential EV Charger Installation
Having a Level 2 EV charger at home provides the convenience of charging your vehicle while you’re home rather than relying exclusively on public charging stations.
Borges Electric installs EV chargers in garages, driveways, carports, and other approved locations.
We can help determine the best charger location based on your electrical panel, parking location, cable routing, electrical capacity, and future charging needs.
Whether you already purchased an EV charger or need guidance on the electrical requirements before choosing one, we can help you plan the installation.
Commercial EV Charger Installation
Borges Electric also provides commercial EV charger installation throughout New Jersey.
We work with businesses, property owners, contractors, facility managers, and commercial customers to install EV charging infrastructure for:
- Office buildings
- Corporate facilities
- Retail properties
- Commercial parking areas
- Warehouses
- Distribution and fulfillment centers
- Multifamily properties
- Employee charging
- Fleet vehicles
- Customer charging stations
- New construction
- Commercial renovations
Commercial EV charging projects may require significant electrical planning and additional electrical capacity. Borges Electric can evaluate the existing service and help determine what electrical infrastructure is required to support the proposed charging equipment.
EV Charger Rebates & Utility Incentive Assistance
Depending on your electric utility, property type, charger, and current program availability, incentives or rebates may be available to help offset certain costs associated with EV charging infrastructure.
Borges Electric can assist customers with applicable EV charger programs and rebate opportunities offered through PSE&G or Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L).
These programs can change over time and may have specific eligibility requirements, approved equipment requirements, application deadlines, or funding limitations. Our team can help customers understand the electrical portion of the application process and provide relevant installation information and documentation needed for qualifying projects.
We encourage customers to verify current program availability and eligibility directly with their electric utility before beginning a project.
PSE&G EV Charger Programs
For customers located within PSE&G’s electric service territory, EV charging programs may be available for qualifying residential, multifamily, commercial, workplace, or public charging projects.
Depending on the current program, incentives may help with certain electrical infrastructure or service upgrades associated with EV charging.
Borges Electric can help coordinate the electrical portion of your EV charger project and assist with the documentation needed for applicable PSE&G EV charging programs.
JCP&L EV Charger Programs
Customers within Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) territory may also have access to qualifying EV charging programs or incentives.
Program availability and eligibility can vary depending on whether the installation is residential, commercial, multifamily, workplace, fleet, or another type of EV charging project.
Borges Electric can assist JCP&L customers with the electrical installation requirements and supporting documentation associated with eligible EV charger programs.
EV Charger Installation for New Construction & Renovations
Building a new home, renovating an existing property, or constructing a new commercial facility?
Planning for EV charging during construction can make future installation easier and more cost-effective.
Borges Electric can install EV-ready electrical infrastructure during construction, including conduit, dedicated circuits, wiring, electrical panels, and other equipment required for current or future EV chargers.
For commercial properties, we can also work from electrical drawings and coordinate EV charging infrastructure with general contractors, engineers, architects, property managers, and other trades.
Preparing Your Electrical System for the Future
Even if you only need one EV charger today, it’s worth considering what your electrical needs may look like several years from now.
A household may eventually have multiple electric vehicles. Businesses may want to add additional employee or fleet charging stations. Multifamily and commercial properties may also see increasing demand for EV charging.
When appropriate, Borges Electric can discuss electrical infrastructure options that make future expansion easier.
