Wake up to a full charge every morning. Holsen Solar installs Level 2 EV chargers for homes, businesses, fleets, apartment buildings, and new construction — installed by licensed master electricians, permitted and warranted.
EVs are fundamentally different from gas vehicles in one key way: you never have to go anywhere to fuel them. You plug in at home at night. You wake up to a full charge. Every day. A Level 2 charger makes sure that math actually works — and that it costs a fraction of what you've been paying at the pump.
Fuel prices have spiked repeatedly in the past five years and are climbing again. When you charge at home, your cost is tied to your utility rate — which changes slowly and predictably. That's a financial stability argument that becomes more compelling every time you see the number at the pump.
Here's an honest breakdown of your options. Most homeowners who drive more than 30 miles a day should have a Level 2 hardwired charger. Everything else is a compromise.
Connected directly to your home's electrical panel. No outlet required. Delivers the fastest home charging speed and the most reliable connection. Most drivers wake up to a full battery every morning without thinking about it.
Adjustable amp models let us set the charger to exactly what your panel can support — and upgrade later if you add capacity. This is what we recommend for the vast majority of homeowners.
Requires a professionally installed NEMA 14-50 outlet — which still requires a licensed electrician. Slightly more portable than hardwired, which matters if you might move.
Note: Limited to 32–40 amps by the outlet, which caps your charging speed. The outlet itself can wear over time with repeated plugging and unplugging under continuous high-amp load.
Plugs into a standard 120V household outlet. No installation required. Adds very limited range — typically only adequate for plug-in hybrids or drivers with very short commutes.
For a fully electric vehicle driven daily, Level 1 charging frequently results in waking up to a battery that isn't full. This is a temporary solution, not a long-term charging strategy.
Before recommending any charger, we assess your panel capacity, circuit availability, and wiring. In some cases a panel upgrade makes sense — we handle that too. There's no obligation to proceed after the assessment, and you'll leave with a clear picture of your options and the real cost of each one.
A home EV charger and a solar system together create something powerful: the ability to fuel your car from energy your own roof generates. Your panels produce power during the day. Smart chargers can be programmed to charge during peak solar production hours — or you can store solar energy in a battery and charge your car from that in the evening.
In Minnesota, where monthly net metering lets you bank summer surplus against winter bills, solar credits can offset your overnight EV charging costs. In North Dakota and South Dakota, a battery paired with solar captures your midday surplus so it fuels your car instead of going back to the grid for nothing.
Fleet vehicles that charge overnight at your facility eliminate the variables of public charging — unpredictable costs, out-of-route stops, and driver downtime. A properly designed commercial charging installation gives you full control over your fleet's energy costs.
Overnight fleet charging at your facility is the most cost-effective way to run an EV fleet. We design systems around your actual vehicle rotation — number of stalls, charge windows, panel capacity — so every vehicle is ready for the next shift.
Workplace EV charging is a meaningful employee benefit — and an increasingly common recruiting tool. Networked systems let you set access policies, track usage by vehicle, bill back appropriately, and manage load across multiple stalls.
Public charging infrastructure is increasingly expected at commercial properties, retail destinations, and government facilities. We design, permit, and install multi-stall public charging that meets code and integrates with your preferred network.
Networked chargers give you a management dashboard — real-time visibility, usage reporting, remote troubleshooting, access control, and payment processing. We work with multiple network platforms and will recommend the right one for your scale and use case.
A parking lot full of chargers all running at full power simultaneously would overwhelm most buildings' electrical service. Load management software solves this — intelligently distributing available power across active chargers so every vehicle charges efficiently without overloading your building.
For commercial fleets and multi-stall installations, load management is the difference between needing an expensive service upgrade and working within your existing capacity. We design it into every multi-stall project.
The Section 30C commercial EV charging tax credit is one of the most significant equipment incentives still available — and the deadline is real. Multi-stall installations that qualify could see credit values that substantially offset installation costs. But permitting, installation, and placing equipment "in service" all take time.
✓ Must be placed in service by June 30, 2026
✓ Must be in a qualifying census tract (non-urban or low-income area)
✓ Full 30% requires prevailing wage & apprenticeship compliance
✓ Applies to business, fleet, and public use charging equipment
✓ Confirm eligibility and census tract status with your tax advisor before proceeding
We're actively working toward DC fast charging installation capability. If you're planning a public charging station, fleet depot, or municipal installation that requires Level 3 DCFC, contact us now — we can help scope the project and position it for install once we're ready, well ahead of the June 2026 credit deadline.
EVs are still a premium purchase for most buyers. But the secondary market is happening fast — and it's happening now. Used EVs are becoming affordable, mainstream transportation for everyday people. The tenants signing leases in your building five years from now will expect EV charging the same way today's tenants expect in-unit laundry or high-speed internet.
Running conduit and wiring during the rough-in phase of construction costs a fraction of what the same work costs after drywall, finishes, and landscaping are in. For a 20-unit building, the difference between pre-wiring during construction and retrofitting two years later can be tens of thousands of dollars — plus the disruption to occupied units.
Networked charging stations let you bill tenants per kWh or per session. That's a new line on your property's income statement that doesn't exist today. Early-mover buildings in this market have a real competitive advantage — in tenant attraction and in monthly operating revenue — over properties that wait until it's urgent.
We work directly with developers planning new multi-family construction to spec and pre-wire EV charging infrastructure into the build from day one. Our team works alongside your GC during rough-in — no disruption, no rework.
We partner with GCs who want a licensed electrical subcontractor with EV charging expertise. We pull our own permits, know the code requirements in ND, MN, and SD, and deliver clean, inspectable work on your timeline.
Managing an existing building and getting requests from EV-driving tenants? We assess your electrical service, design a load-managed charging solution, and present you with a clear cost and ROI picture before any work begins.
New EVs made up a small percentage of the market five years ago. Those vehicles are now entering the used market at prices that put them within reach of everyday renters. The adoption curve for used EVs follows the same pattern as smartphones and flat screens — premium products today become mainstream products in five to ten years.
We carry and install chargers from the brands we trust — all Energy Star certified, all UL listed, all installed by licensed master electricians with a permit on every job.

A Level 2 charger pulls 32–48 amps of continuous load. On undersized wiring, that's a fire hazard. On an overloaded circuit, it trips breakers or fails prematurely. A licensed master electrician assesses your panel, specifies the right wire gauge and breaker, pulls a permit, and backs the work with a warranty. That's not a premium — that's how electrical work is supposed to be done.
Book an Assessment →We evaluate your existing service capacity before recommending anything. No surprises on installation day — you'll know in advance if a panel upgrade is needed and exactly what it costs.
Every residential and commercial EV charger install we do is permitted. That matters when you sell your home, file an insurance claim, or a tenant has a question about the installation.
We match the charger amp rating to what your EV's onboard charger can actually accept and what your panel can safely deliver — so you get maximum speed without over-speccing.
Our labor and materials warranty covers every EV charger installation we complete. If something isn't right, you call us — not a 1-800 number.
All work performed to local, state, and national electrical code. Permitted and inspected on every job, residential or commercial.
Full cost breakdown before any work begins. No hidden fees, no surprises — the quote is the price.
We show up when we say we will and finish when we say we will. Your time matters.
Comprehensive in-house warranty on all labor and materials. Manufacturer warranties on every charger we install.
A rooftop solar system paired with a home EV charger is the most powerful combination we install. Your panels fuel your home. Programmed smart charging lets your car run on solar too. After your system pays for itself, your transportation fuel cost drops to near zero.
Learn About Solar →A battery storage system captures your solar production during the day and lets you draw on it at night — including for EV charging. In ND and SD where grid export returns little value, storage maximizes every kWh your panels produce. And when the grid goes down, your car charges from your battery.
Learn About Storage →We install residential, commercial, fleet, and multi-family EV chargers across Eastern North Dakota, Western Minnesota, and the Aberdeen, South Dakota area.
