When To Call A Professional
Don't wait for a failure. Recognize the signs of an inadequate electrical system before it causes lasting damage.
Tripping Breakers
Frequent interruptions during charging cycles indicate your panel is overloaded and unable to handle the continuous high-amperage draw.
Slow Charging
If your "Level 2" charger is taking longer than expected, you may have voltage drop issues or poor wire terminations that need immediate correction.
Outdated Panels
Older Zinsco or Federal Pacific panels are not designed for modern EV loads and pose significant safety risks during long charging sessions.
Potential Risks Of Delay
Ignoring these signs can lead to permanent battery degradation, melted wiring, or high-intensity electrical fires in your garage.
Our Engineered Process
We follow a strict protocol to ensure every installation meets the highest safety standards in the industry.
On-Site Assessment
We evaluate your garage layout, parking position, and charger requirements to find the optimal mounting location.
Panel Load Calculation

Precision Installation

Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does EV Charger Installation Cost?expand_more
A standard Level 2 home installation typically ranges from $450 to $1,200 depending on the distance between your electrical panel and the garage, and whether your home requires a service upgrade.
Do I Need A Panel Upgrade For An EV?expand_more
Not necessarily. We conduct a load calculation first. Many 200-amp panels have sufficient overhead. If you have a 100-amp panel, an upgrade or a smart load-shedding device may be required.
Can You Install Tesla Wall Connectors?expand_more
Yes, we are highly experienced with the proprietary Tesla Wall Connector hardware, as well as universal J1772 chargers and the newer NACS standard chargers.
