J.M.L. Electric is a Wakefield electrician whose calling card is the EV charger install — review after review on Angi describes a Juicebox or Level 2 charger going in cleanly, often alongside a panel upgrade to make room for it, and almost every one names an electrician named John directly. The company, self-described as in business since 2003, has built a deep, almost unbroken record: 22 Angi reviews dated between 2018 and 2023 run overwhelmingly five-star, with homeowners describing on-time arrivals, competitive quotes against several other electricians, and clear explanations of the work. A 2021 review recounts a full 200-amp service upgrade alongside an EV charger install, bringing the panel up to code and cleaning up the old one; a 2020 review describes an external 240V line run for a car charger finished in half a day. The same review set is mirrored on HomeAdvisor, where it holds 4.9 stars from 24 ratings (96% five-star) — and BuildZoom independently shows 56 permitted projects on file. Its Massachusetts electrician license (#20345) is verified active on the state registry, held by John Michael Lopriore. One thing worth confirming before booking: the company's own website advertises 24/7 emergency call-out across Eastern Massachusetts, but its Angi and HomeAdvisor profiles both list no emergency service. If a middle-of-the-night problem is why you're calling, ask directly rather than assuming. For an EV charger, a panel upgrade, or general residential electrical work around Wakefield, the record here is about as consistent as they come — the main gap is that most of the written detail dates from 2018 to 2021, so it's worth asking what's changed operationally since.
John did a great job with my outdoor Juicebox 48 installation with basement subpanel. I am really happy with it. He had very competitive pricing against 3 other electricians and had the the charger installed within one week of me signing. He showed up on time for the install, was professional and patched up all the drywall he could after the job. He also did a load balance calculation for our building (we live in a two family) to check capacity and make sure we would pass inspection. Getting the inspection itself completed through the City of Cambridge did take a LOT longer than I thought it would and I had to bug him for a few weeks to sort out the paperwork, but once it was scheduled and the inspector arrived it was quick. Overall my experience was great and would definitely work with him again.
Great overall experience.
Great work.
From the original response to my request for a quote, to the prompt visit, to the actual quote and scheduling for the work, to the actual installation of the EV level 2 charger, JML Electric delivered with the utmost professionalism and care. Highly recommended. Thank you!
JML installed a juice box ev charger for us. They had to work around some previous work that required modifications. Excellent quality and timeliness. Very happy with work and workers. Would highly recommend
