WE OFFER MULTIPLE EV CAR CHARGING SERVICES, INCLUDING:

Plug-In Chargers

A common EV outlet setup is a NEMA 14-50, requiring a dedicated 30-50 amp breaker. Use proper wire gauge (e.g., 8-gauge for 40 amps) and conduit if needed. Grounding is essential, and GFCI protection may be required by local codes.

Hard-Wired Chargers

Hardwired EV chargers need direct wiring into the electrical system, requiring a dedicated circuit with the correct breaker size and wiring. Grounding is essential for safety, and GFCI protection may be needed. Most Level 2 chargers operate at 240 volts and should match the circuit's amperage capacity.

Permits & Inspections

Permits are typically required for EV charger installation. After installation, a local inspector must approve the work to ensure it meets safety codes. Using a licensed electrician ensures that the work adheres to NEC and local codes.
