EV charger installation questions from Chula Vista customers

Can my panel handle an EV charger?

Many 200 amp panels can. Many 100 amp panels can too, at a lower charging rate or with a load management device. We run the calculation and show you the numbers.

Hardwired charger or NEMA 14-50 outlet?

Hardwired is more reliable for daily high-amperage charging and is required above 40 amps of charging current. An outlet gives flexibility if you may take the charger with you. We install both.

Do I need a permit for an EV charger in Chula Vista?

Yes, a new 240V circuit requires an electrical permit. California law requires cities and counties to streamline EV charger permitting, so approval is usually quick.

How fast will a Level 2 charger charge my car?

Most add roughly 25 to 40 miles of range per hour of charging, depending on the circuit size and your car's onboard charger. That is a full recharge overnight for nearly every driver.
