Load calculation before anything else
We confirm your panel can safely handle the charger. If it can't, we explain the options, from load management to a panel upgrade.
Level 2 home charging for Tesla, Rivian, Ford, Chevy, Hyundai and every other EV. Dedicated 240V circuit, load calculation and permit included, installed by a licensed C-10 electrician.
"You'll deal with me from the first call to the final walkthrough."
— Sebastian Urreta, owner & licensed electrician
A Level 2 charger adds range many times faster than a regular wall outlet, so your car is ready every morning. But it needs a dedicated 240V circuit, the right wire size and breaker, and a panel that can handle the extra load.
That's why EV charger installation is licensed C-10 work in California. We check your panel, recommend the right setup (hardwired charger or NEMA 14-50 outlet), pull the permit and install it cleanly in your garage, driveway or carport.

Wire, breaker and charger settings matched to your car and charger, following the manufacturer's specs and the electrical code.
We pull the permit and handle the inspection, so the installation is documented for your insurance and resale.
Neat conduit runs, a sturdy mount and a tidy garage when we leave.
In California, electrical work over $500 (labor + materials), and any job that needs a permit, requires a CSLB C-10 licensed contractor. SMUP Electrical is licensed (#1155780) and insured, so your insurance and your home's resale value stay protected.

No. A Level 2 charger needs a new dedicated 240V circuit, which requires a licensed C-10 electrician and, in most cases, a permit.
Both work. A hardwired charger is usually the cleanest and most durable option; an outlet makes sense if you use a portable charger. We'll recommend what fits your car and panel.
Not always. We run a load calculation during the free estimate and tell you exactly what your home needs.
Most standard EV charger installations are done in a few hours, depending on the distance from your panel and the setup.
