Sacramento EV Charger Installation Service

Our EV charger electricians in Sacramento know the importance of safe installation. These are the electrical requirements for a secure, reliable residential EV charging station:

• A Level 2 charger installation needs its own 240V circuit separate from other appliances to prevent overload.
• Voltage should be 208V or 240V for a standard Level 2 EV home charger installation.
• Use the correct wire gauge based on distance and amperage.
• Grounding is vital to prevent shock and helps to maintain a safe return path for electricity.
• Older electrical panels or smaller panels (like 60A) should be upgraded before installing an EV charger.
• All 240V circuits require a double-pole breaker in the electrical panel. 

Service Champions provides comprehensive Sacramento EV charger installation services, including Tesla and Wallbox wall chargers. We start with a thorough evaluation to determine which option is best for your budget and home. Once the evaluation is complete, one of our skilled EV charger installers adds the necessary wiring, outlets, and breakers to make sure your new electric vehicle charger in Sacramento is correct and code-compliant.

Each installation is unique to the home and homeowners needs. We’ll provide you with a time estimate so you can plan accordingly. When the installation is complete, we perform a final inspection to check that the installation is up to our high standards and a walkthrough to show you how to operate the charger. 

Here’s how our installation process works for your home EV charger in Sacramento:

• Step one: We determine whether you need to upgrade your electrical panel and find out what else is needed for the EV charging station.
• Step two: We can coordinate permits and provide a detailed estimate for the installation, so you can schedule the work at your convenience.
• Step three: On the day of installation, our certified electricians install all necessary wiring, outlets, circuit breakers, and a new panel, if required.
• Step four: When the installation is complete, we clean up the work area, test the charger, and perform a walkthrough to show you how to use your new EV charging station safely.

Electric vehicle owners need access to charging stations to keep their cars running. Here’s why home charging is such a smart choice for Sacramento drivers:

• Affordable: Having a home EV charging station and using it overnight keeps costs down because overnight electricity is cheaper, and it saves you the cost of using public charging stations that charge higher fees.
• Flexible locations: EV chargers can be installed in your garage, carport, or exterior wall, depending on your preference and the proximity to your electrical panel.
• Increases home value: More EVs are on the road than ever, so having a charging station may help boost your home’s resale value.
• Cheaper than gas: While a home EV charger will increase your electricity use significantly (typically by 300 to 500+ kWh per month), it’s still less expensive than gasoline.
• Convenient: Getting an EV charging station for home use saves you time spent traveling to public chargers and may also save you hours of wait time during periods of high demand.
