EV Charger Installation
An EV charger install is usually a half-day project — IF the panel has headroom and the route from panel to charger is reasonable. We do the headroom check first, quote against your specific EV and panel, and identify rebate eligibility before scheduling the install.
What's included
- Panel-headroom review and dedicated-circuit sizing
- Charger recommendation based on your EV's onboard charger limit
- Permit submittal with the local AHJ
- 240V circuit run from panel to charger location
- Charger install, energization, and commissioning
- Federal IRA + utility rebate paperwork support
Who needs this
- - EV owners or buyers planning a home install
- - Owners with multiple EVs or planning a fleet
- - Property managers adding chargers to rental or multifamily
- - Builders rough-ing in EV-ready circuits during construction
FAQ
EV Charger Installation questions
- Q.01What size charger do I actually need?
- Depends on the EV. Most current EVs accept 40A or 48A — going higher doesn't speed up charging because the car's onboard charger caps it. We size to your specific EV; no point paying for a 50A circuit your car can't use.
- Q.02Will I need a panel upgrade?
- Sometimes. We do a calculated-load review on your existing panel — if you already have a 100A panel with heat pump + electric range + EV charger added, you'll likely need 200A. If you're at 100A with mostly gas appliances, you may have headroom for the EV without upgrading.
- Q.03What rebates apply to EV charger installs?
- Federal IRA tax credit (30% up to $1,000) on the install. Many PNW utilities (PSE, Tacoma Power, PUD) layer their own incentives — sometimes $500-$1,000 in addition. We identify the stack at quote time.
