Whether it’s at your home, workplace, or public facility, dedicated EV charging makes electric driving easier and more practical in Central Wisconsin.

Convenient charging at home

Charge overnight at a predictable rate, so your EV is ready to go each morning, no more relying solely on public charging or trips to the gas station.

Attract customers, tenants, and employees

EV charging at your business or multifamily property can draw in new visitors, support employees who drive electric, and reinforce your sustainability leadership.

Faster, safer charging than a standard outlet

Properly installed Level 2 and Level 3 chargers deliver faster, code‑compliant charging with the correct wiring, breakers, and safety protections for your site.

Pair with solar for cleaner, cheaper miles

When you combine EV charging with a solar power system, more of your driving is powered by clean, locally generated electricity instead of fossil fuels. You're driving on SUNSHINE!

Power Your EV With Solar

When you pair EV charging with a solar power system, more of your driving is powered by clean electricity generated on‑site. We can design your solar and charging together so your system is sized appropriately, whether your priority is offsetting household driving, supporting a few workplace chargers, or serving a growing fleet.

Already have solar? Our team can evaluate your existing system and electrical panel to recommend the right EV charger, potential upgrades, and options for adding battery storage or energy monitoring.

Our EV Charging Installation Process

Step 1 – Consultation & Site Review

We start with a conversation about your goals, vehicles, and parking layout. For homes, we review your panel and garage or driveway; for businesses, we look at parking areas, electrical capacity, and usage expectations.

Step 2 – Design & Proposal

We recommend charger types, locations, and any needed panel or service upgrades. You’ll receive a proposal outlining equipment, installation details, and costs, along with options for integrating solar.

Step 3 – Permitting & Installation

Our licensed electricians handle permitting, utility coordination where required, and complete the installation to code. We focus on safety, appearance, and how you’ll actually use the chargers day‑to‑day.

Step 4 – Commissioning, Training & Support

We test your chargers, walk you through how to use them, and explain any monitoring apps or access controls. Our team is available for service, upgrades, and future expansion.

EV Charging FAQs in Central Wisconsin

Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel to install an EV charger?

In many Central Wisconsin homes we can install a Level 2 charger on your existing panel, but it depends on your available capacity and other large loads. During our site visit, we’ll review your panel, main service size, and usage to determine whether a panel upgrade or smart load management (such as SPAN) makes sense.

Can I install a charger outdoors in Wisconsin’s climate?

Yes. The Enphase, Tesla, Grizzl‑E, and SPAN charging solutions we install are UL‑listed and rated for outdoor use in Wisconsin’s temperature range. We mount and wire them to withstand snow, ice, and temperature swings, and we’ll recommend the best location for long‑term reliability.

Do you provide customized solutions for different businesses?

Yes, we tailor our marketing strategies to meet the unique needs and goals of each business, regardless of size or industry.

How fast will my EV charge with a Level 2 charger?

Most Level 2 chargers we install add roughly 20–40 miles of range per hour of charging, depending on your vehicle and the circuit amperage. That’s typically enough to fully recharge overnight from normal daily driving.

Can I power my EV charger with solar?

Yes. Many of our customers pair EV charging with a solar power system so more of their driving is powered by clean, locally generated electricity. We can design your solar and EV charging together or evaluate how a new charger fits with your existing solar system. We call this "Driving on Sunshine!"

Do you install EV chargers for businesses and fleets as well as homes?

We do. Northwind Solar designs and installs EV charging for homes, workplaces, public sites, and fleets across central Wisconsin. We’ll help you choose the right mix of chargers, locations, and load management for your property and expected usage.
