EVs Are Growing in Michigan

More Michigan Drivers Are Plugging In

Electric vehicles are becoming a much more common sight on Michigan roads. Michigan reported 53,386 registered electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles in 2023. By 2025, that number had climbed to 120,917 vehicles.

Charging infrastructure is growing with them. Michigan’s public Level 2 charging network increased from 2,645 charging ports in 2024 to 3,702 in 2025 — a 40% increase in a single year.

But for many EV owners, the most convenient charger isn’t at a public station. It’s the one waiting in their own garage or parking lot.

Charge Where You Park

Make Your Garage Your Charging Station

One of the biggest benefits of owning an electric vehicle is the ability to refuel it without making a trip to a gas station.

With a properly installed residential charger, you can park your vehicle, plug it in and let it charge while you’re home.

For many drivers, Level 2 charging is the practical home solution because it can provide substantially more charging power than a standard 120-volt household receptacle.

Drost Electric can evaluate the charger you choose, determine its electrical requirements and install the circuit needed to support it.

EV Charging Equipment

Popular Home EV Chargers

Already have a charger in mind? Drost Electric can work with many common residential charging systems. The correct electrical installation depends on the charger’s specifications and the electrical capacity available at your home.

01

Tesla Wall Connector

Tesla’s Wall Connector is a popular option for Tesla owners and, depending on the version and connector standard, can also fit into broader EV charging setups. A dedicated electrical circuit is typically required based on the charger’s configured output.

02

ChargePoint Home Flex

ChargePoint Home Flex is a widely recognized home charging option designed for Level 2 charging. Installation requirements depend on the charger configuration and available electrical service capacity.

03

Emporia EV Charger

Emporia offers connected home EV charging equipment that can fit well into households already using other smart energy-monitoring equipment.

You do not need to purchase one of these specific chargers. If you already own another compatible charging station, send us the manufacturer and model when requesting your estimate.

Home Charging

Level 1 vs. Level 2 EV Charging

The biggest difference for most homeowners is the amount of electrical power available to charge the vehicle.

Basic Charging

Level 1 Charging

Level 1 charging generally uses a standard 120-volt household electrical supply. It can be useful for some driving patterns, but charging is typically slower because less electrical power is available.

Installation Requirements

What Goes Into Installing an EV Charger?

The charger itself is only one part of the installation. Your home’s electrical system also needs to safely support the charging load.

Review the charger’s electrical specifications
Evaluate the home’s electrical panel and service capacity
Determine the appropriate circuit size
Plan the route from the panel to the charging location
Install the dedicated electrical circuit
Install or connect the charging equipment
Verify the completed electrical installation
Discuss future electrical capacity when appropriate
Home EV Charger Customer

Installed by a Local West Michigan Electrician

EV chargers may be newer technology, but the electrical work behind them still depends on careful planning, proper circuit installation and professional workmanship.

Here’s what one homeowner had to say after having Drost Electric install his home charging station.

Sam A.
★★★★★
Home EV Charger Installation

“Drost Electric did a fantastic job installing my home car charger. They were professional, punctual, and clearly knew what they were doing. The install was smooth and I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable electrical work.”

Electrical Capacity

Does Your Electrical Panel Have Room for an EV Charger?

Adding an EV charger means adding a significant new electrical load to your home.

That does not automatically mean you need a new electrical panel or service upgrade. The answer depends on your existing service, available breaker space, other electrical loads in the house and the charger you plan to install.

Drost Electric can evaluate the electrical system before recommending the appropriate installation.

Your EV Charger May Be Part of a Bigger Electrical Upgrade

Homes already carrying significant electrical loads may need additional work before a higher-amperage charger can be added.

  • Panel capacity evaluation
  • Available breaker-space evaluation
  • Dedicated EV charger circuits
  • Electrical panel upgrades
  • Residential service upgrades
  • Future circuit planning

We’ll help determine what your home actually needs rather than assuming every EV installation requires the same solution.
