As more neighbors in Medford, Ashland, and Grants Pass make the switch to electric vehicles, the “standard outlet” in the garage is no longer enough. Waiting 24+ hours for a full charge isn’t just inconvenient, it limits your freedom.
At Murphy Electric, we specialize in high-speed Level 2 EV charger installations. Whether you just brought home a new Tesla, Rivian, or Ford F-150 Lightning, our team ensures your home is equipped to handle the load safely. Since 1978, we’ve been the Rogue Valley’s first call for modern electrical upgrades, and we’re here to help you get your home ready for electric driving.
Most EVs come with a Level 1 charger that plugs into a standard 120V outlet. A professional Level 2 (240V) installation from Murphy Electric changes everything. We install a dedicated circuit and a wall-mounted charging station that allows you to:
The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit currently offers up to 30% (capped at $1,000) for hardware and installation costs.
Many Southern Oregon utility providers offer "Smart Charge" rebates to homeowners who install qualifying Level 2 equipment.
A professionally installed EV charger is a major selling point for modern homebuyers in the Medford and Ashland markets.
Good news first: many homes across Medford, Ashland, and the Rogue Valley already have enough panel capacity to add a Level 2 charger with no upgrade at all. Before we recommend anything, we run a load calculation on your existing panel. If it’s more than about 20 years old, already full, or running close to capacity with a heat pump, hot tub, and other big loads, we may need to add a sub-panel or upgrade your service to add the charger safely — and we’ll tell you honestly which camp you’re in.
When people hear “panel upgrade,” they often assume a jump to 400-amp service — which pulls in Pacific Power to upgrade the transformer and service line, a costly multi-party project. For most EV owners there’s a smarter path. As certified Span Smart Panel installers, we can add intelligent load management that automatically dials down your charger when the dryer, oven, and AC are running at once — so your 200-amp panel never overloads, and you skip the expensive 400-amp upgrade entirely.
EVs are quickly gaining the ability to power your home during an outage — Ford, GM, and others are rolling it out now. But your home’s electrical system has to be set up for it in advance. If you’re already upgrading for a charger, it’s worth configuring for V2G at the same time rather than redoing the work later. A Span panel is built for exactly this kind of forward-looking install.
A typical job: we confirm your panel capacity, run a dedicated 240V circuit to the garage or driveway, mount and commission the charger, pull the local permit, and handle the inspection. Most installs are a single visit. For outdoor or detached-garage locations we use weatherproof, NEMA 3R-rated equipment.
Not always. Many modern homes in the Rogue Valley have enough capacity. However, if your panel is older than 20 years or currently full, we may need to add a sub-panel or perform a service upgrade to handle the charger safely.
Yes. We install NEMA 3R-rated weatherproof equipment for our clients in Grants Pass and Rogue River who prefer to charge in a driveway or under a carport.
Most basic installations range from $800 to $1,800, depending on the distance from your panel and any needed upgrades. We provide transparent, upfront quotes so there are no surprises.
