## Situations we see in Portola Valley

### Renting or planning to move

A 14-50 receptacle install keeps the charger portable and the circuit reusable, which is the flexible choice.

### Not enough service capacity

Either upgrade the service, or install a load management device that throttles the charger when the house is busy. Both are real options and we price both.

### Detached garage with a small feeder

Often the existing feeder can't carry a charger. A new subpanel and feeder is the durable answer.

### Charger is far from the panel

Long runs need voltage-drop math and the right conduit. We size up conductors rather than accepting a slow, warm circuit.

## Reviews from San Mateo County

★★★★★

Six recessed lights in the living room and a dimmer that finally doesn't buzz. They laid the whole layout out on the ceiling with tape first, which I appreciated.

Hot tub circuit and disconnect. Permit, inspection, everything. Showed up when they said and cleaned up after.

Added outlets to three bedrooms and a weatherproof one out back. Cuts were small, patches were tidy, and everything got labeled at the panel.

## EV Charger Installation in Portola Valley — questions

Do I need a panel upgrade for a Level 2 charger?

Not always. If your load calculation is tight, a load management device can let you charge on existing service. If your panel is already full, an upgrade is the cleaner long-term answer.

Do you pull the permit for EV charger installs in Portola Valley?

Yes. EVSE circuits are permitted and inspected in San Mateo County jurisdictions, and we handle the paperwork and the inspection visit.

Should I hardwire or use a 14-50 outlet?

Hardwiring supports higher continuous current and is the better choice at 48 amps. A 14-50 receptacle is more flexible if you may move or change chargers.

Can you install a charger in a detached garage in Portola Valley?

Yes. That usually means a new feeder and a small subpanel out there, which we quote as part of the job.

How much does EV charger installation cost in Portola Valley?

A garage install close to the panel is the low end. Cost climbs with distance, trenching, and any panel work your service needs. Call (833) 652-8933 and we will price the install and any capacity work separately so you can see both.
