EV Charger Installation Near Brea, California
EV Charger Installation Near Brea, California
Safe, fast, reliable Level 2 charging — installed the right way.
We size your circuit, choose the right charger amperage, and install a clean, code-compliant solution so you can add 25–45+ miles of range per hour (charger/vehicle dependent).
What We Install (Most Requested)
- Hardwired Level 2 EVSE (32A–60A output depending on model)
- Tesla Wall Connector (NACS) with vehicle integration
- NEMA 14-50 receptacle for plug-in Level 2 chargers (when supported)
- Outdoor-rated pedestals/enclosures and in-use covers
- Cable management: reels, hooks, and tidy routing
- Subpanel or panel upgrade when more capacity is needed
Bringing your own charger? We’ll install owner-supplied EVSE and provide any adapters/parts for a clean finish.
How We Size Your EV Charging Circuit
- Vehicle onboard charger rating (e.g., 32A, 40A, 48A)
- Desired charge speed and daily driving needs
- Existing panel capacity and available spaces
- Distance from panel to charger location and installation environment (indoor/outdoor)
Examples:
- 32A charger → 40A circuit (125% rule)
- 48A charger → 60A circuit (hardwired recommended)
We’ll explain the best fit for speed, cost, and future upgrades.

FAQs — Home EV Charging in Brea, CA
Do I need a permit?
Yes, for most new EV circuits. We pull permits and coordinate inspections.
Can you install outside?
Absolutely. We use NEMA 3R/4X rated equipment, proper conduit, and in-use covers.
What if my panel is full or near capacity?
We can add a subpanel, perform a panel upgrade, or use load management to stay within service limits.
Tesla vs. J1772 — what should I pick?
We install both. Tesla Wall Connector (NACS) is great for Teslas; J1772 works with most non-Tesla EVs. Adapters are available if you switch vehicles.
Can I use my dryer outlet?
We do not recommend sharing dryer circuits. EV charging should be on a dedicated, properly sized circuit.
How fast will it charge?
Depends on your vehicle’s onboard charger and circuit size. Many Level 2 setups add ~25–45+ miles/hour.
Do you set up the app/schedules?
Yes. For supported chargers, we help with Wi-Fi/app pairing, off-peak schedules, and current limits.
