Situations we see in Los Gatos
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.
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
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.
Devon W.EV charger · Los GatosAdded 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 · Los GatosSmart switches wouldn't work because there was no neutral. They pulled one, got everything on Lutron, and set up the scenes before leaving.

Can you install a charger in a detached garage in Los Gatos?
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 Los Gatos?
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 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 Los Gatos?
Yes. EVSE circuits are permitted and inspected in Santa Cruz County jurisdictions, and we handle the paperwork and the inspection visit.
