A Level 2 charger cuts charge time from days to hours and pairs perfectly with solar. We handle the electrical, mounting and permits so your charger works safely and passes inspection on the first pass.

Why go Level 2

A standard 120V outlet barely keeps up with daily driving. A Level 2 charger gives you a full charge overnight and works with every major EV – Tesla, Ford, Rivian, Kia, Hyundai and the rest.

Charging on solar power is significantly cheaper than peak utility rates, especially when paired with battery storage.

Most utilities also offer EV-specific time-of-use rate plans with very low overnight pricing – timing a charger to start after peak hours, or running it directly off stored solar, is usually the cheapest way to fuel a car in the county by a wide margin.

What the install includes

Load calculation, permit, breaker and panel work if needed, conduit run, charger mounting, wiring and final inspection. We route the wiring cleanly – no messy exposed conduit unless there's no other option.

Panel upgrades and load management

Older homes sometimes don't have enough capacity for a Level 2 charger on the existing panel. We check that up front and give you options – smart load management devices or a panel upgrade – before we start.

Bundling with solar or batteries

Installing a charger at the same time as new solar or a battery is almost always cheaper than doing them separately. We can lay out the full system so everything works together from day one.

Choosing charger placement and equipment

Garage-mounted chargers are the most common setup, but plenty of Southern California homes need a driveway or side-yard run instead depending on where the car actually parks. We plan the conduit path to be as short and clean as possible, and we'll talk through hardwired versus plug-in units, since a hardwired charger is often a cleaner, more weatherproof choice for anything mounted outdoors.

Permitting for EV chargers in Southern California

Most jurisdictions in the county treat a Level 2 charger install as an electrical permit, and several cities now offer expedited or over-the-counter review for standard residential EV charger permits. We know which cities move fast and which ones need more lead time, and we build that into your schedule instead of promising a date we can't hit.
