EV Charger Installation in Berkeley
Charge at home, overnight, every night.
A home EV charger, installed the right way
A Level 2 charger can fill most electric cars overnight. It needs its own properly sized circuit, and sometimes more capacity than an older panel can give.
We check your panel and your home's load first, then install the charger you choose, like the 60-amp hardwired Emporia charger in the photo below, in the garage, on the driveway or on an outside wall.

EV Chargers questions
Can I install a charger without upgrading my panel?
Often, yes. We do a load check first. If your panel has the capacity, the charger goes on a new dedicated circuit without an upgrade.
Which charger should I buy?
Most Level 2 chargers work well. Tell us your car and where you park, and we'll help you pick one that fits your panel and your driving.
Can you install a charger I already bought?
Yes. We install chargers you've already purchased.
