Home charging

A home charger is one dedicated circuit, plus a hard look at your panel to see whether there is room for it. An electrician sizes it for the car you actually drive and pulls the permit.

The scope

What an installer will look at.

This is what an electrician is working out while they walk your property. Knowing it beforehand makes the visit shorter.

The panel decides everything

A Level 2 charger needs its own circuit. Whether your panel has room for one is the whole question, and an electrician answers it by adding up everything the house already draws. Any electrician worth hiring does that before quoting you.

Where the car actually sits

Attached garage, detached garage, carport, driveway. Each one is a different amount of wire and pipe, and sometimes a trench across the yard.

You still need a permit

Home charger installs are permitted electrical work almost everywhere. If someone offers to skip it, that tells you plenty about how the rest of the job will go.

Buy for the car you own

Your car has its own limit on how fast it will accept a charge, and no charger gets around it. Paying for more amps than the car will take is money you don't get back.

We don't do electrical work and we don't put a price on anything. Scope, schedule and every dollar figure come from the installer.
