Your service may need to grow first
A 60A charger on a house that already has a pool pump, two air handlers, and an electric range can push a 150A service over the line. We tell you that before any money changes hands, not halfway through.
A Level 2 charger is the difference between a full battery every morning and planning your week around a public station. We run the circuit properly, size it to your service, and permit it.
A charger is a large continuous load, which is why the circuit sizing matters more than the charger itself.

Chargers run for hours, so the code treats them as continuous loads. A 48A charger needs a 60A breaker, not a 50A. This is where DIY installs fail inspection.
A hardwired connector avoids the outlet, the plug, and the heat they generate under sustained load. For a charger you will use daily, we usually recommend it.
A garage next to the panel is a short run. A detached carport across the yard is trenching. We quote based on the actual path.
If a second EV is likely, we can size the circuit or the sub-panel for it today, which is far cheaper than opening the wall twice.
FPL and some municipalities have had charger incentive programs. Check what is current before scheduling; the requirements often include a permitted installation.
We look at the panel, the route to the garage, and the charger you have or plan to buy. We take notes and measure the run.
We calculate the existing load and confirm the service can carry the charger. If it cannot, you hear that first, with options.
EV circuits are permitted work. We file with your city and schedule the inspection.
Typically half a day. Circuit run, conduit or cable secured, charger mounted at a usable height, breaker landed and labeled.
We test the charger on your vehicle, confirm the charge rate, and meet the inspector.
A dryer outlet is not designed for hours of continuous load, and sharing it means unplugging the dryer. A dedicated circuit is the safe answer and the one that passes inspection.
For Tesla owners the Wall Connector is the simplest. For everyone else, a hardwired J1772 unit from a major brand. Buy it before we quote so we size the circuit to the real hardware.
A 48A Level 2 charger adds roughly 30 to 44 miles of range per hour depending on the vehicle. Overnight is a full battery for almost any EV on the road.
Yes. A new 240V circuit is permitted work in every Broward municipality, and the permit is often required for rebates.
