## EV Charger Installation in El Cerrito, CA

California put more EVs on the road than any other state, and El Cerrito garages are catching up one 240 volt circuit at a time. The install itself is straightforward. The part people get wrong is capacity.

Call (833) 652-8933 and describe what is happening. If it is a same-day job we will book it today, and if it needs a site visit to quote properly we will tell you that too.

## Situations we see in El Cerrito

### 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.

### 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.

### 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 Contra Costa County

★★★★★

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

Owen H.Hot tub wiring · El Cerrito
★★★★★

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

★★★★★

Smart switches wouldn't work because there was no neutral. They pulled one, got everything on Lutron, and set up the scenes before leaving.

## EV Charger Installation in El Cerrito — questions

Do you pull the permit for EV charger installs in El Cerrito?

Yes. EVSE circuits are permitted and inspected in Contra Costa 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.

Can you install a charger in a detached garage in El Cerrito?

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 El Cerrito?

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.

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.
