MAIN 200AEV Charger Installation in Petaluma, CA
An EV charger is a continuous load, and continuous loads are unforgiving of optimistic math. Before quoting an install in Petaluma, 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 Petaluma
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.
Renting or planning to move
A 14-50 receptacle install keeps the charger portable and the circuit reusable, which is the flexible choice.

Reviews from Sonoma County
Six recessed lights in the living room and a dimmer that finally doesn't buzz. They laid the whole layout out on the ceiling with tape first, which I appreciated.
Tom R.Lighting installation · PetalumaOur 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.
Ken A.Commercial repair · PetalumaStandby generator install. They sized it to what we actually use rather than the biggest unit, then walked me through the transfer switch and the exercise cycle.
Renee B.Generator · PetalumaEV Charger Installation in Petaluma — questions
How much does EV charger installation cost in Petaluma?
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.
Do you pull the permit for EV charger installs in Petaluma?
Yes. EVSE circuits are permitted and inspected in Sonoma County jurisdictions, and we handle the paperwork and the inspection visit.
Can you install a charger in a detached garage in Petaluma?
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.
