Question 1

Do I need to buy my own EV charger first?

Accepted Answer

Most customers already have their own wall charger or portable unit, and we install it on a properly sized, dedicated circuit. If you have not chosen a charger yet, we can talk through your vehicle, parking layout, and budget and then recommend options that make sense for your situation.

Question 2

What is involved in a home EV charging installation?

Accepted Answer

We install a dedicated circuit from your electrical panel to the charger location, size the wiring and breaker for the correct amperage, and mount and connect your charger according to manufacturer instructions and electrical code. We also test the circuit and charger so you know it is working correctly before we leave.

Question 3

Can my existing electrical panel handle an EV charger?

Accepted Answer

Before any installation, we look at your current panel, main service size, and existing loads. In many homes there is room to add a charger without major changes. In some cases, we may recommend a lower-amperage setting on the charger, load management, or a panel upgrade if needed. Our goal is to give you a charging setup that is safe and reliable, not overloaded.

Question 4

How long does a typical EV charger installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most standard home EV charger installations are completed in about half a day once we are on site. More complex runs, such as long conduit routes, difficult access, or special mounting surfaces, can take longer. We keep you informed about what to expect and let you know if your project falls into the simple or more involved category.

Question 5

Do I need a permit for a home EV charger installation?

Accepted Answer

Most home EV charging installations require a permit and inspection because they add a new, dedicated circuit and additional load to your electrical system. We handle all permitting and any required inspections from start to finish, so you do not have to worry about paperwork or scheduling with inspectors. You get a safe, documented installation that is done the right way.
