Home » Cincinnati » Cincinnati Electrical » EV Chargers
Electric vehicles are no longer a niche purchase. Ohio now has over 126,000 EVs registered statewide, with EVs making up 5% of new vehicle registrations as of late 2025, and Cincinnati is one of the state’s priority corridors for expanded charging infrastructure. The city has required EV chargers in publicly funded parking garages since 2017, and the number of EVs on Hamilton County roads keeps climbing.
But public charging is for when you’re away from home. The majority of EV charging happens in the driveway or garage overnight and a standard 120V household outlet gets you only 3 to 5 miles of range per hour. For most Cincinnati households, that means plugging in every night and still not starting the day full. A Level 2 home charger on a dedicated 240V circuit changes that entirely, adding 20 to 30 miles of range per hour. It’s less about convenience and more about making EV ownership actually work day to day.
Arlinghaus installs Level 2 home EV chargers throughout Cincinnati and Hamilton, Butler, and Clermont Counties for any EV brand, not just one. Every installation starts with a panel evaluation to make sure your home’s electrical system can support the added load before anything gets wired. With 7,000+ reviews and a 4.9-star rating and Best in Cincinnati recognition, Cincinnati homeowners trust us with this work – and our Happy House Seal of Approval guarantee backs every job.

Level 1 (120V): Plugs into a standard household outlet. No installation required, but adds only 3–5 miles of range per hour. Fine for PHEVs or very short daily drives, but impractical for most full EV ownership.
Level 2 (240V): Requires a dedicated 240V circuit and a hardwired or plug-in charger unit. Adds 20–30 miles of range per hour depending on the charger’s amperage and the vehicle’s onboard charger. The standard choice for full EV owners and the only one worth installing for most households.
Arlinghaus installs Level 2 chargers. If you have questions about amperage, connector type, or smart charging features, your technician will walk you through the options during the initial visit.

A Level 2 EV charger draws 30–50 amps of dedicated capacity. That’s a meaningful addition to a home’s electrical load. Whether your panel can handle that depends on its age, current capacity, and how much headroom remains after accounting for existing circuits.
Cincinnati’s median home was built in 1951, and roughly 40.8% of homes predate 1940. In neighborhoods like Northside, Walnut Hills, Clifton, and Hyde Park, 100-amp or lower service panels are still common and a panel already running close to capacity may have little room available for a Level 2 charger without an upgrade first.
Signs your panel may need evaluation before installation:
Arlinghaus evaluates the panel as the first step of every EV charger installation. If an upgrade is needed, we tell you upfront and handle it as part of the same project.
The cost of a Level 2 home charger installation varies based on several factors specific to your home:
For straightforward installations, the investment is manageable. For projects that include a panel upgrade or a longer wiring run, the total can climb – and financing through Synchrony is worth asking your technician about before the job begins. Arlinghaus provides upfront pricing after the panel evaluation so the full cost is confirmed before any work starts.
Some EV charger installers specialize in a single vehicle manufacturer’s proprietary hardware. Arlinghaus installs Level 2 home chargers compatible with any EV: Tesla, Ford, Chevrolet, Rivian, Hyundai, BMW, and others. Whether your household has one EV today or plans to add a second, we install the right charger for your vehicle and your home’s electrical setup without locking you into one brand’s ecosystem.
Whether you just took delivery of your first EV or you’ve been making do with Level 1 charging for too long, Arlinghaus can assess your home and install the right charger. Call us to schedule anywhere across Cincinnati and Hamilton County. Same-day appointments are available in most cases.
We believe that one of life’s greatest gifts is the ability to celebrate one’s place in a thriving community, with family and friends, where everyone shares a common set of goals and dreams. We are fortunate to work and live in great communities throughout Kentucky, Cincinnati and Indiana, areas that have welcomed and embraced us over the years. We are happy to give back to those communities through a variety of initiatives, some very public, others totally private. We’re a people-first company.
