## EV Charger Installation in Santa Cruz, CA

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

## Situations we see in Santa Cruz

### 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.

### 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.

## Reviews from Santa Cruz County

★★★★★

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

Hugo S.Outlet installation · Santa Cruz
★★★★★

Kitchen breaker kept popping whenever we ran the microwave and kettle. They put in a dedicated circuit instead of just telling us to use one appliance at a time.

Warehouse high bay retrofit to LED. Did it over a weekend so we never stopped shipping, and the place is twice as bright.

## EV Charger Installation in Santa Cruz — 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 Santa Cruz?

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 Santa Cruz?

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

Can you install a charger in a detached garage in Santa Cruz?

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

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.
