(833) 652-8933EV Charger Installation done properly
California put more EVs on the road than any other state, and California garages are catching up one 240 volt circuit at a time. The install itself is straightforward. The part people get wrong is capacity.
We work statewide, and every quote is a flat price for a defined scope. Find your city below for local detail and a local page, or call and we will tell you what the job looks like for your address.

Common situations
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.
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.
Questions about ev charger installation
How much does EV charger installation cost in California?
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.
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.
Can you install a charger in a detached garage in California?
Yes. That usually means a new feeder and a small subpanel out there, which we quote as part of the job.
Do you pull the permit for EV charger installs in California?
Yes. EVSE circuits are permitted and inspected in your County jurisdictions, and we handle the paperwork and the inspection visit.
