## EV Charger Installation in Palo Alto, CA

Charging on a standard wall outlet adds a few miles an hour. A properly installed Level 2 circuit in your Palo Alto garage refills a commuting battery overnight, and it is one of the most requested jobs we do in Santa Clara County.

## Situations we see in Palo Alto

### Renting or planning to move

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

### Detached garage with a small feeder

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

### 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.

### 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 Santa Clara County

★★★★★

We needed a 200 amp panel before our EV charger install. They did the load calculation, pulled the permit, and had the whole thing done and inspected in a week.

Priya N.Panel upgrade · Palo Alto
★★★★★

Zinsco panel replaced. Straight quote, one day of work, and they handled the utility disconnect scheduling so I didn't have to call anyone.

Our restaurant lost the walk-in circuit on a Friday. They came out after close, traced it to a failed feeder lug, and we opened Saturday on time.

## EV Charger Installation in Palo Alto — questions

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.

How much does EV charger installation cost in Palo Alto?

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.

Can you install a charger in a detached garage in Palo Alto?

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

Do you pull the permit for EV charger installs in Palo Alto?

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

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.
