A Level 2 charger adds roughly five to ten times the range per hour compared to a standard wall outlet, which is the difference between waking up to a full battery and constantly hunting for a charge. The install looks simple, but it draws serious continuous power, so it has to be done by a licensed electrician on a properly sized circuit.
We install all major charger brands, as well as outlet-based options like a NEMA 14-50. Before we quote, we check your panel capacity so you know upfront whether your existing service can handle the charger or whether a panel upgrade should come first. No surprises mid-project.
What does an EV charger installation include?
Panel assessment
We confirm your panel has the capacity for a Level 2 charger, and tell you honestly if an upgrade is needed first.
Dedicated circuit
A properly sized, dedicated circuit and breaker rated for continuous EV charging loads.
Hardwired or outlet
We install hardwired chargers or a NEMA 14-50 outlet, whichever fits your charger and your plans.
Clean routing
Tidy conduit and cable routing in the garage, on an exterior wall, or to a carport or driveway.
Charger mounting & setup
We mount the unit, test it under load, and help you confirm it is charging correctly before we leave.
SMUD rebate & permit
We pull the electrical permit and handle the SMUD rebate paperwork for you, installed to current code and on record.
What should you know before installing an EV charger?
- Most homes need a dedicated 240-volt circuit for Level 2 charging
- Older 100-amp panels are often near capacity already
- Hardwired units can charge slightly faster and are cleaner looking
- Charger location affects cost, closer to the panel is usually less
- We can future-proof for a second vehicle if you ask
- Rebates can change often, so confirm current programs before buying
