Home EV Charger Installation Process

From Assessment to Charging in Days

First, we assess your electrical panel and determine what your home needs to safely support an EV charger. Many Riverdale homes need circuit upgrades or additional capacity, which we handle as part of the installation.

Next, we pull the necessary permits and schedule the installation around your availability. The actual installation typically takes a few hours, depending on how far the charger location is from your electrical panel.

Finally, we test everything to make sure it’s working properly and walk you through how to use your new charger. We also arrange for the city inspection, so you know everything meets code requirements. You’re charging your EV the same day the work is completed.
