Residential & Commercial EV Charger Installation

Charge your electric vehicle up to 7 times faster. Our certified California electricians install Level 2 EV charging stations safely, cleanly, and in accordance with your car manufacturer guidelines.

The Convenience of Level 2 Home Charging

Standard wall outlets (Level 1, 120V) only provide 3 to 4 miles of range per hour of chargingβ€”taking up to 30 hours for a full charge. A dedicated Level 2 (240V) charging station installed by our team delivers 25 to 50 miles of range per hour, fully replenishing your vehicle overnight.

Brands We Professionaly Install

We are certified installers for all leading electric vehicle and charging station manufacturers, including:

  • Tesla Wall Connectors: Custom installation of Tesla Gen 3 wall connectors for Model 3, Y, S, X, and Cybertruck.
  • Universal J1772 & NACS Chargers: ChargePoint Home Flex, JuiceBox, Wallbox Pulsar, Autel, and Emporia.
  • Rivian & Ford Chargers: Custom hardware setup matching high-amperage trucks.
  • NEMA 14-50 Outlets: Heavy-duty outlet installations for mobile charging adapters.

Important: Panel Capacity & Load Considerations

A Level 2 EV charger typically draws 32 to 48 Amps of continuous electricity. Many home electrical systems cannot handle this load without safety upgrades:

  • Load Calculation: Before installation, we perform a load calculation on your main panel to ensure it can absorb the charger without tripping the main breaker. We measure continuous load draw to prevent system overheating.
  • Panel Upgrade Alignment: If your home currently has a 100 Amp panel, we can combine your EV installation with an Electrical Panel Upgrade to 200 Amps.
  • Sub-Panels: For garages detached from the main house, we install sub-panels to distribute power efficiently and cleanly, avoiding the need to run multiple individual lines from the main house.

California Utility Rebates & Tax Incentives

California offers some of the best incentives in the country for electric vehicle drivers. Installing a smart EV charger can qualify you for:

  • Federal Tax Credits (up to 30% of installation costs).
  • Local utility rebate programs (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E, and SMUD offer substantial home charger installation rebates).
  • We supply complete documentation and municipal permit copies to ensure you qualify for these incentives easily.

Step-by-Step Installation Process

Installing an EV charging station involves precise mechanical and electrical layout steps to guarantee code safety:

  1. Panel Load Calculation: We measure the existing continuous draws on your service lines to determine if empty physical breaker slots can accommodate a 50A breaker.
  2. Conduit Routing & Wire Sizing: We install thick, heavy-duty THHN copper wires (usually 6 AWG for a 50A circuit) protected by metal or PVC conduit run cleanly along your garage ceiling.
  3. Mounting & Calibration: The charger unit is mounted at a comfortable height, wired into the circuit, and its internal dial is set to match the maximum amperage allowed by your panel.
  4. City Inspection Sign-Off: We schedule and meet the municipal electrical inspector to sign off your permit card, verifying the installation is 100% code compliant.

EV Charging FAQ

Can I plug my charger into a standard dryer outlet?
While dryer outlets (NEMA 10-30) supply 240V, they only support up to 24 Amps of continuous draw. Modern Level 2 chargers draw 32 to 48 Amps. Using a dryer outlet can cause circuit overloads. A dedicated circuit is highly recommended.
What is the difference between a hardwired charger and a plug-in?
A hardwired unit is connected directly to the electrical line, allowing it to charge at 48 Amps (drawing 11.5 kW). A plug-in unit plugs into a NEMA 14-50 receptacle and is limited to 40 Amps (9.6 kW) due to safety codes.
Will my utility rate change after installing a charger?
Major California utilities (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E) offer specialized Time-of-Use (TOU) plans that drop charging rates significantly during overnight hours, usually between midnight and 6 AM.
