EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE WE INSTALL.

Click any question below to open the answer.

What is included in the $695 EV charger installation special?

The $695 offer is designed for qualifying straightforward residential EV charger installations. The actual installation depends on the home’s electrical panel, available capacity, charger location, wire distance, routing and the charging equipment being installed.

The fastest way to determine whether your home fits the special is to send us information about your charger, electrical panel and where you want the charger installed.

How do I know if my installation qualifies for the $695 special?

Start by showing us three things: your EV charger, your electrical panel, and the location where you want the charger mounted.

We use that information to determine whether the installation appears straightforward or whether additional electrical work may be needed.

What can make an EV charger installation cost more?

Additional work may be required when the charger is a significant distance from the electrical panel, routing is difficult, the panel lacks available space or capacity, a subpanel is needed, load-management equipment is needed, or the project involves other electrical modifications.

That is why we evaluate the electrical system and installation path before defining the final scope.

Do you install Tesla Wall Connectors?

Yes. Tesla Wall Connector installations are one of the residential EV charging configurations we work with.

We consider the charger location, electrical panel, desired charging setup and circuit route as part of the installation.

Do you install chargers for EVs other than Tesla?

Yes. We can install residential charging equipment for a range of electric vehicles, including charging equipment using NACS and J1772 connections.

Send us the charger make and model so we can evaluate the electrical requirements for your installation.

What is a Level 2 EV charger?

Level 2 charging uses a dedicated 240-volt electrical supply to provide substantially faster home charging than a standard household receptacle.

The exact charging rate depends on the vehicle, charger and electrical circuit available.

Can you install a NEMA 14-50 outlet instead of a hardwired charger?

A dedicated 240-volt receptacle may be appropriate for some compatible portable EV charging equipment.

Whether a receptacle or hardwired charger makes more sense depends on the charging equipment, electrical system and intended use.

Does my electrical panel have enough capacity for an EV charger?

That depends on the existing electrical service, the loads already served by the home, the charging equipment and the charging rate desired.

We evaluate the panel and available electrical capacity as part of determining the installation scope.

What if there is no room left in my electrical panel?

Limited breaker space does not automatically mean an EV charger cannot be installed. Depending on the electrical system, the solution may involve changes to the existing panel, a subpanel, or another appropriate electrical approach.

We evaluate the existing equipment before recommending the installation path.

What is load management for an EV charger?

Load-management equipment can help control EV charging based on the electrical demand being placed on the home.

In some situations this can be useful when available electrical capacity is limited. Whether it is appropriate depends on the home and the charging equipment.

What if my electrical panel is far away from my garage?

That is common. Longer electrical runs can involve routing through attics, walls, garages, exterior areas or other appropriate pathways.

The route, distance and installation method affect the scope and cost of the project.

Can you install an EV charger in a detached garage?

Yes, detached garages can often be served, but they are generally more involved than installing a charger near the home’s electrical panel.

Distance, existing electrical service to the garage, routing and available capacity all need to be evaluated.

Do you handle subpanels for EV charger installations?

Yes. Some garage installations may benefit from or require additional electrical distribution.

If a subpanel is appropriate, it becomes part of the electrical scope rather than treating the charger as an isolated device.

Can you handle more complicated Cybertruck or advanced EV charging installations?

Yes. Some advanced EV charging projects can involve more equipment and planning than a standard wall charger installation.

These projects may involve additional electrical equipment, subpanels, controls or other work, so we evaluate the complete system before defining the installation.

Do I need a permit for an EV charger installation?

Permit and inspection requirements can vary by city and by the scope of the electrical work.

Where permits or inspections are required, those requirements need to be addressed as part of the installation process.

How long does an EV charger installation take?

Installation time depends on the project. Straightforward residential installations can be completed much more quickly than projects involving long wire runs, difficult routing, subpanels or additional electrical work.

We determine the installation scope first so we have a better understanding of the work required.

Where should I put the charger in my garage?

A good charger location considers where the vehicle normally parks, the location of the charge port, charging-cable reach, the electrical route, and how the garage is used.

The most convenient-looking location is not always the simplest electrical location, so we consider both.

Should I hardwire my EV charger or use an outlet?

Both configurations can be appropriate depending on the charger, desired charging setup, electrical system and installation requirements.

We can evaluate the specific charger and property rather than assuming one approach is right for every home.

Can you replace or move an existing EV charger?

Yes. If you are replacing an older charger, upgrading equipment or relocating the charger, we can evaluate the existing circuit and determine what is required for the new installation.

What should I send you to get started?

The most useful information is: your EV and charger model, a photo of the electrical panel, and photos showing where the panel and proposed charger location are located.

Then call us at 972-333-5448 so we can discuss the project.

ABOUT THE SPECIAL

EV CHARGER INSTALLATION $695

The $695 special is intended for qualifying straightforward residential EV charger installations. Because every home’s electrical system and charger location are different, we review the project before confirming the installation scope.

Long wire runs, additional electrical equipment, subpanels, load management, service changes or other work can change the project scope.
