EV Charger Installation in Jersey City, NJ
Jersey City is one of the fastest-growing EV markets in New Jersey. Malfettone Electric installs Level 2 home chargers throughout every Jersey City neighborhood — from Downtown condos and Newport high-rises to Heights brownstones and Bergen-Lafayette single-family homes. We run the dedicated 50A circuit, pull the Jersey City permit, install your charger, and pass inspection — often the same day.
The Jersey City EV Charger Installer With 45+ Years Here
We are not a national chain that dispatched a technician from a dispatch center in another state. Malfettone Electric is a Jersey City–based, family-owned electrical contractor that has been in Hudson County since 1977. We know every building type here — from the 1890s brownstones in The Heights with knob-and-tube remnants to the 2020s luxury high-rises in Downtown with 400A service. When something unusual comes up, our crew has seen it before and knows how to handle it without extra charges or delays.
Every Major Brand. We Install Them All.
Jersey City homeowners may qualify for the PSE&G Electric Vehicle Charging Program — up to $1,500 back on qualifying Level 2 charger installations. We provide all required documentation. Learn how the rebate works →
EV Charger Installation for Every Jersey City Property Type
We install in building garages, dedicated parking spaces, and utility closets. We coordinate with condo boards and property managers, run conduit through finished spaces when required, and pull the Jersey City permit. Common in Newport, Downtown, and Paulus Hook.
The Heights, The Village, and McGinley Square rowhouses have limited space and often older panels. We assess the panel, run the 50A circuit to the driveway or garage, and upgrade the panel if needed — all under one permit. We know how to work in these buildings cleanly.
Bergen-Lafayette, Greenville, and Westside Ave single-family homes often have driveways or garages that make for straightforward EV charger installs. Many older homes need a panel upgrade first — we handle both under one contract, one permit, one inspection.

Yes. All EV charger installations in Jersey City require an electrical permit from the Jersey City Construction Department. Malfettone Electric pulls the permit, schedules the inspection, and coordinates everything. Most Jersey City permits are issued within 3–7 business days.
Yes, though condo installations require coordination with your building's condo board or HOA and may require their written approval. We handle this regularly in Jersey City high-rises and condo developments. We run the dedicated 240V circuit from the panel to your parking space, pull the permit, and ensure the installation meets both NJ code and building requirements.
Most Level 2 home EV charger installations in Jersey City take 2–4 hours once the permit is in hand. If a panel upgrade is needed at the same time, plan for a full day. We aim to have your charger fully operational by the time we leave.
Not always. If your home already has a 200A panel with available breaker slots, a dedicated 50A circuit can usually be added without a panel upgrade. Many Jersey City brownstones and older buildings have 100A service, which may need to be upgraded first. We assess your panel at the free estimate and tell you exactly what is and is not required.
We install all major brands including Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, Grizzl-E, JuiceBox, Emporia, and Enel X JuiceBox. We also install NEMA 14-50 outlets if you prefer to use your EV's portable charging cable. We can help you choose the right charger based on your EV model, parking situation, and budget.
