Why Install a Home EV Charger?
Relying on public charging stations or standard wall outlets is slow, inconvenient, and often more expensive over time. A professionally installed Level 2 EV charger at home gives you:
Up to 10× faster charging than a standard outlet
Lower cost per mile compared to public charging
Overnight charging convenience
Future-proofing for additional EVs
Wake up every morning to a fully charged vehicle — without leaving your garage.
Do You Need a Panel Upgrade for an EV Charger?
Many San Jose homes — especially those built before the 1990s — were not designed for modern EV charging loads.
Before installing your charger, our electricians perform a full load calculation and panel evaluation to determine whether your existing system can safely support it.

Your EV charger can often be installed in just a few hours.
We handle everything:
Electrical panel upgrade
Permit application

EV Charger Installation Cost in San Jose
Every home is different. The cost of EV charger installation depends on factors such as:
Distance from electrical panel to charger location
Panel capacity and available amperage
Garage vs exterior installation
Trenching or conduit requirements

We provide clear, upfront pricing after a site evaluation — no surprises, no pressure.
