Permits for EV chargers
Most cities require a permit and inspection for an EV charger circuit, and the fee goes on your quote. The utility stays out of it. Rebates come and go, so check your utility or ask us.

EV charger questions
Is my EV charger under warranty?
Probably. Most carry a three-year manufacturer warranty. We help file the claim and install the replacement.
Why did my EV charger outlet melt?
Usually a residential-grade outlet doing a daily-charging job. We swap in an industrial-grade one.
Do you charge for the quote?
No. An electrician looks at the job in person and quotes it, free.
