Charge at home. Every night.
Level 2 charger installation for Tesla, Rivian, and all electric vehicles. Permit-ready, code-compliant.
Plug in at night, wake up to a full battery.
Public charging is fine in a pinch, but it's no way to live. You're paying $0.40+ per kWh, waiting in line at Electrify America, and planning your day around charging sessions. Home charging changes everything — plug in when you get home, pay roughly $0.15/kWh on Oakland's residential rate.
Our process starts with a panel capacity assessment. We check existing load, amperage, and breaker space to determine whether your panel can support a dedicated 40–50A circuit. If it can, we install the circuit, run conduit, mount the charger, and pull the permit. If your panel is maxed out — common with 100A panels — we bundle with an upgrade.
We install every major brand: Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, JuiceBox, Emporia, Grizzl-E, Wallbox Pulsar. Bring your own or ask for a recommendation.
Four things we check on every walkthrough.
Every EV install starts with the same four questions. The answers set the tier and the conduit path.
- 01 Panel capacity for a dedicated 40–50A circuit Load calc on your existing panel + open breaker slots. 100A panels usually need an upgrade first.Every walkthrough
- 02 Wire distance from panel to charger The variable that actually moves the price. 0–10 ft is cheapest. Detached garages cost more.Primary pricing driver
- 03 NEMA 14-50 vs hardwired decision NEMA 14-50 is flexible (swap chargers later). Hardwired is cleaner + slightly faster at 50A.Every install
- 04 Charger location — interior vs exterior Interior runs are cleaner. Exterior needs EMT conduit + weatherproof seals. We route for least visibility.Every install
Real pricing, by wire distance
EV install pricing depends primarily on how far the wire has to run from your panel to the charger location. Garage directly next to the panel is cheapest. Detached garage with a long conduit run is more.
Level 2 EV charger install (60A fast charger)
Install labor and circuit only. Charger unit priced separately ($300–$700 depending on model).
- 0–10 ft from panel$1,500–$2,000
- 10–30 ft$2,000–$2,500
- Beyond 30 ft Run complexity drives the numberOnsite inspection
- 40A charger (any tier) Slightly smaller wire and breaker~15% less
If your garage is on the far side of the house, we sometimes recommend a subpanel over a long dedicated run. That's a walkthrough conversation.
What's included
- 01 Dedicated 240V / 50A circuit 6-gauge copper wire, proper grounding, code-compliant breaker — right-sized for your charger.
- 02 All EV brands supported Tesla, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Wallbox, Grizzl-E, Emporia — bring yours or we recommend.
- 03 Panel capacity assessment Load calc at the walkthrough. We flag upgrade needs before the bid lands.
- 04 Permit + city inspection Permit pulled in your name. Inspector signs off after install.
- 05 Clean conduit routing Least-visible route from panel to charger. Interior when possible; exterior EMT when needed.
- 06 Panel upgrade bundled (if needed) If your 100A is full, we combine upgrade + charger install for a small discount vs sequential jobs.
Standard hardware
Install timeline
- 01 Walkthrough + panel assessment Same week
Load calc, wire path, breaker space. Flag upgrade needs before the bid.
- 02 Permit 3 days – 1 week
Usually issued quickly. Oakland fast; Berkeley slower. We handle the paperwork.
- 03 Circuit run Half – full day
Wire pull, conduit where needed, breaker seat. Panel capacity verified pre-cut.
- 04 Mount + test Same day
Charger mounted, wired, tested. Most jobs finish same-day.
- 05 City inspection After install
Inspector signs off. Charger is usable after the inspector's OK.
Ready to charge at home?
We'll assess your panel, map the wire run, recommend the right setup, and have you charging at home within the week — panel capacity permitting.
Four specifics that actually matter.
- 01
Panel capacity assessment before the bid
We load-calc your existing panel during the walkthrough. If 100A needs to become 200A, we say so before quoting — not during demo.
- 02
All major brands supported
Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, JuiceBox, Wallbox Pulsar, Grizzl-E, Emporia. Bring your own or ask for a recommendation.
- 03
Bundle with panel upgrade for a discount
If your panel needs upgrading too, we do both at once for a small discount vs sequential jobs — and one permit round instead of two.
- 04
Clean conduit routing you won't hate
Interior routes when the house allows. Exterior EMT when it doesn't — tucked against trim and hardware-painted to match.
Common questions
Most installs are done in 1 day. Longer wire runs can push to 2 days. If a panel upgrade is needed, that adds the panel timeline separately.
If your panel is 100A, probably yes. A Level 2 charger needs a dedicated 40–50A circuit. We assess panel capacity during the walkthrough.
We usually recommend NEMA 14-50 — it’s flexible, lets you swap chargers later. Hardwired is cleaner and slightly faster at 50A if that matters to you.
At Oakland’s average rate of about $0.15/kWh, a full charge costs $6–9 — roughly 5x cheaper than public fast charging.
Yes. Garage installs are most common, but we run conduit to carports and driveways too. We find the cleanest route from your panel.
