## EV Charger Installation in Scotts Valley, CA

An EV charger is a continuous load, and continuous loads are unforgiving of optimistic math. Before quoting an install in Scotts Valley, Rupert Electrical Solutions runs a real load calculation on your service so you don't end up tripping the main every evening.

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 Scotts Valley

### 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.

### Renting or planning to move

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

### 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 Cruz County

★★★★★

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

Tesla Wall Connector in the garage, clean conduit run, done in an afternoon. They talked me out of a panel upgrade I didn't actually need.

Breaker tripped Sunday night and I got a call back in about ten minutes. Tech found a bad connection in a junction box behind the closet, fixed it that night, and the price was what he said on the phone.

## EV Charger Installation in Scotts 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.

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

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

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 Scotts 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.

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

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