Residential EV Charging Stations
The best way to charge your EV is right at home—with a charger upgrade that’s fast, reliable, and ready when you are. It’s an extra cost, typically in the $1,000-$1,500 range, but it’s an improvement that adds value to your home and makes owning an EV much more convenient.
We’ll help you choose the best EV charger for your vehicle and the optimal location for easy access to your car’s charging port. A typical setup will charge your EV overnight using about the same amount of electricity as an electric clothes dryer.

Hardwired vs Receptacle: Which Is Best?
There are two ways to install a home EV charging station: hardwired and receptacle (aka plug-in). At Cascadia Solar, we recommend a hardwired installation for most homes. Here’s why:
Hardwired (Recommended) | Receptacle | |
Lower Cost | No GFI protection required, reducing the cost | GFI protection is required and adds expense |
More Reliable | Fewer points of failure | Prone to nuisance tripping |
Looks Cleaner | Wired directly into your home’s electrical system | Exposed plug |
Adds Value | Adds value to your home | Is not a permanent upgrade |
Commercial EV Charging Stations
Installing EV charging stations at your business can attract new customers, bolster your image, and provide benefits for your employees. If your business has EV’s as part of its fleet, installing a hardwired charger for your company vehicles is a must. They’re also great for multi-family properties and fleet operators.
At Cascadia Solar and Frederickson Electric, we have our own growing EV fleet—including one electric van, three electric trucks, and two EVs—with plans to go fully electric as we replace aging vehicles. That firsthand experience helps us deliver smart, scalable EV charging solutions for your business.
We install commercial EV charging stations that allow multiple vehicles to be served from a shared circuit. They automatically adjust power output to each connected vehicle as needed to avoid overloading your electrical service. Our team will help you choose the best fit for your business and handle the entire installation process, including permitting, from start to finish.
Solar-Powered EV Charging
Want to take your EV charger to the next level? Pairing it with a residential or commercial solar power system lets you drive on clean, renewable energy and brings your charging costs down significantly.
Cascadia Solar is a full-service electrical and solar contractor, and we can integrate your EV charger with a new or existing solar power system. With the right setup, you can offset most or all of your vehicle’s charging needs with solar power.
Already have solar? We’ll evaluate your system and panel capacity to ensure you can support EV charging. Thinking about adding solar? We’ll walk you through the options and help you decide if now’s the right time to make the switch.
