Should I get a hardwired charger or a NEMA 14-50 outlet?

That depends on your charger manufacturer's specifications and whether you might switch vehicles or chargers later; an outlet offers more flexibility while hardwiring is sometimes required by the manufacturer's warranty terms.

Is a permit required for EV charger installation?

Yes, this is treated as new circuit and load addition work requiring a permit and inspection in Mendocino County and the City of Ukiah.

Do utility rebates require a licensed electrician?

Most PG&E and state EV charging rebate programs require proof of a licensed, permitted installation, and we can provide the documentation those programs typically ask for.

Is the work guaranteed?

All of our work is backed by a workmanship guarantee. If something is not right, we return and make it right.

What should I expect during the service visit?

We arrive in a marked truck, protect the work area, explain the diagnosis, and walk you through the repair before we begin.

EV Charger Installation in Ukiah, CA

A Level 2 EV charger draws significantly more continuous current than almost anything else in a home, which makes the load calculation and circuit sizing the real work behind the installation. We handle both the electrical capacity check and the physical mounting.

Level 2 Charging Sized to Your Panel's Real Capacity

EV charger and NEMA 14-50 outlet installation with full load calculation.

Before quoting an EV charger installation, we run a load calculation to confirm your panel can support a dedicated 40 to 60 amp 240V circuit continuously without exceeding safe capacity, since EV charging is a continuous load under NEC and needs to be sized at 125 percent of the charger's rated draw. Many Mendocino County homes on 100-amp services find there's no room for a Level 2 charger without either freeing up capacity or upgrading the panel, which we'll identify honestly before you buy equipment.

We install both hardwired chargers and NEMA 14-50 outlets depending on what your charger manufacturer specifies, and route the circuit to the garage, carport, or driveway location that makes the most sense for your vehicle and cord length. Outdoor and detached-garage installations get weatherproof, GFCI-protected circuits and enclosures rated for exterior exposure.

This work requires a permit and inspection, and some utility rebate programs require documentation of a licensed installation, which we can provide.

Residential Electricians Who Know Ukiah Homes

We work here every day, so we know what's behind the walls before we open them.

Much of Ukiah, Calpella, and Hopland was built long before modern loads, heat pumps, induction ranges, shop tools, EV chargers. We see the same failure patterns weekly: undersized 100-amp services, aluminum branch circuits, ungrounded two-prong outlets, and panels no longer supported by breakers you can buy.

We know which county desk handles your permit and which inspector will be at the meter.

The Process

What Happens When You Call

No mystery, and no surprise invoice at the end.

You call or text

Someone in the Ukiah shop answers between 7am and 5pm. After hours, the emergency line goes to whoever is on call.

We book a two-hour window

You get a window and a name, so you know who is pulling into the driveway.

We diagnose before we quote

Nobody prices a panel from the driveway. We find the actual problem first, then price the fix.

You get the number in writing

Approve it, decline it, or sit on it for a week. Nothing gets opened until you say yes.

We finish and close it out

Cleanup, permit close-out where required, photos of what we did, and a two-year warranty on our labor.

FAQ

EV Charger Installation Questions

What customers ask us most before booking this service.

It depends on your panel's total capacity versus what's already in use; we run a load calculation to confirm before quoting, since EV charging counts as a continuous load under code and needs headroom beyond just an open breaker slot.

Still have a question? Call (707) 830-4053 and talk it through with an electrician.
