How It Works
Three steps, no phone queue.
01
Tell us about the installation
Use the form: your vehicle, where the panel is, how far it is to the parking spot, and where you want the charger. That’s what an electrician needs to price it.
02
Shared for a quote
We share your installation details with a local electrician who can review panel capacity, wiring distance, and permit needs, then quote the work.
03
Installation day
If you accept a quote, you coordinate timing, licensing/insurance confirmation, and payment directly with the electrician for the installation itself.
What Affects Your Installation Price
Home charger installation isn’t one flat price. These are the things an electrician will weigh when they quote — being upfront about them avoids surprises.
Panel capacity / upgrade needed: a 200-amp panel with spare capacity is straightforward; a full or 100-amp panel may need an upgrade first.
Distance panel-to-charger: a charger on the same wall as the panel costs less than a long run across the garage or house.
Indoor vs outdoor: outdoor and driveway installations can add weatherproofing, conduit, and trenching.
Charger supplied by you vs installer: already own a Wall Connector or J1772 unit, or do you need one supplied with the installation?
Permit: most installations need a permit and inspection — ask whether that’s included in the quote.
Include this in your request
Your panel amps if you know them (check the main breaker), roughly how many feet from panel to parking spot, garage vs driveway, and whether you already bought the charger. That’s enough for a real first quote.

Common Installation Questions
What’s the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 charging?
Level 1 is the slow cord that plugs into a regular 120V outlet — it typically adds only a few miles of range per hour, so a full charge can take a day or more. Level 2 installation adds a dedicated 240V circuit and a wall charger, which typically adds roughly 25–40 miles of range per hour depending on the charger and vehicle — enough to refill overnight. This site is about Level 2 installation at your home.
Do I need a panel upgrade for a charger installation?
Maybe. If your panel is 200 amps with room for a new double-pole breaker, installation is usually straightforward. A 100-amp panel, or one that’s already full, may need an upgrade or a load-management option first. Note your panel size in the form if you know it (it’s stamped on the main breaker) — and “not sure” is a perfectly good answer; the electrician will assess it as part of the quote.
How long does an installation take?
A straightforward garage installation with the panel nearby is often done in a few hours. Longer wiring runs, outdoor or driveway placements, trenching, or a panel upgrade can stretch the work to a full day or a second visit, plus permit and inspection timing. Your quote should spell out what’s included.
Will a home charger work with my EV?
Almost certainly, yes. Tesla vehicles use Tesla Wall Connectors (and can also use universal chargers with an adapter), while most other EVs use the universal J1772 connector. Tell us your vehicle in the form — Tesla, other EV, or not bought yet — and the installation quote will match the right charger type.
Can I get a charger installed outside?
Yes. Outdoor and driveway installation is common in San Marcos — the charger is mounted on an exterior wall or post with weather-rated equipment and conduit. Mention if any trenching would be needed to reach the parking spot, since that affects the quote.
