Do You Need a Panel Upgrade for an EV Charger?
Many older Sacramento homes, especially in Curtis Park, Land Park, and Midtown, still run on 100-amp panels. A Level 2 EV charger needs a dedicated 240V circuit, and if your panel is already full or your service is too small, it may not handle the added load. A proper load calculation tells you exactly where you stand and whether an electrical panel upgrade for an EV charger is in your future.

What Does EV Charger Installation Cost in Sacramento?
The cost of EV charger installation depends on a few things: how far the charger is from your electrical panel, the charger type, whether your panel has the capacity for it, and the permit. A straightforward garage install costs less than a panel upgrade with a long wire run. We give you an exact, upfront price before any work starts.
Utility and federal rebates may be available for EV chargers and panel upgrades, which can offset some of the cost. We help you understand what programs apply so you know what to apply for. We also give you upfront pricing with no surprises, so you approve the cost before we start.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does EV charger installation take?
Most Level 2 charger installs take a few hours when your panel has open space and capacity. If you need a panel upgrade for the EV charger, plan on a full day. We give you a clear timeline with your free estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 charging?
Level 1 uses a standard 120V outlet and adds only about 3 to 5 miles of range per hour, so a full charge can take a day or more. Level 2 uses a dedicated 240V circuit and adds 25 to 40 miles per hour, which is why most Sacramento homeowners go Level 2 to charge overnight.
Do I need a permit for an EV charger in Sacramento?
Yes. EV charger installation requires a permit and inspection in Sacramento. We pull the permit and handle the inspection so your install is code compliant, documented, and safe for insurance. A charger installed without a permit can void a claim and fail a home inspection.
Can you install any charger brand?
Yes. We install and hardwire all major Level 2 chargers, including Tesla Wall Connectors, ChargePoint, Emporia, JuiceBox, and more. We help you pick the right unit for your car, your panel, and your garage or outdoor setup.
Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?
It depends on your service size and what else runs on the panel. A 200 amp panel usually has room. A 100 amp panel may need a load calculation, load management, or an upgrade. See our panel upgrade guide for EV owners for the full breakdown.
Can you install an EV charger outdoors?
Yes. We install weatherproof outdoor chargers rated for rain and sun, mounted to the wall or a post with a proper in-use cover. Outdoor installs use the same dedicated 240V circuit and permit process as garage installs.
