Common Questions

Choosing a Charger

A regular outlet is enough only for short daily drives. A 120-volt outlet adds about 5 miles of range an hour, while a Level 2 charger on a 240-volt circuit adds about 25 to 44. If you drive more than about 40 miles a day, or want a full battery every morning, Level 2 is the better fit.

J1772 works with every EV (Tesla with adapter). Tesla Wall Connector now uses NACS — adopted by most makers. We'll help you pick.

The right circuit depends on how fast your car can charge and what your panel can spare. A 40-amp circuit delivers 32 amps, about 7.6 kilowatts, and a 60-amp circuit delivers 48 amps, about 11.5 kilowatts. Some cars cannot use the higher rate, so we check the car before sizing the circuit.

Hardwired suits most daily charging, with no outlet to wear out and a higher charging rate. A plug-in charger on a NEMA 14-50 outlet is easy to take with you when you move, but the outlet has to be a heavy-duty one with GFCI protection. We install both.

Either way. We can supply popular models or install one you bought. Tell us the make/model and we'll confirm compatibility.

Yes. The simple way is a separate circuit for each charger. If the panel cannot spare that, two chargers can share one circuit through an energy management system that splits the power between the cars. Mention a second car when you book, so we size the first circuit with it in mind.

Generally no. Washington law bars associations from prohibiting or unreasonably restricting a charger at your own parking space. In a single-family community they usually cannot require approval unless the charger touches common areas or common power. Condo associations can ask for an application, which counts as approved if not denied in writing within 60 days.

Installation

Depends on your panel. 200A panels often have room for a 40A or 60A circuit. 100A panels usually need an upgrade. We'll check during the site visit.

Sometimes, yes. A load calculation may show that a smaller circuit is enough, since most cars charge overnight when the house is quiet. A load-management device can also pause charging when the house needs more power. If neither works, a subpanel or a panel upgrade is the fix, and we do those too.

Yes. A charger on a new 240-volt circuit needs an electrical permit and an inspection. Washington L&I issues the permit in most of our area, while Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Renton, SeaTac, Seattle and Tukwila run their own programs and Tacoma Power covers the addresses it serves. We pull the permit and handle the inspection.

Three things set the price: how far the panel is from where you park, whether the panel has room, and the size of the circuit. The exact price covers the wiring, breaker, mounting, permit and labor. You get it before any work starts, and you approve it first. See what sets the price.

4–8 hours, same day for most installs. Add a panel upgrade and it's a full day. We'll give you a clear window upfront.

Yes. Outdoor-rated chargers with weatherproof enclosures and protected conduit. Driveway, carport, or exterior wall — all safe and code-compliant.

Yes, with outdoor-rated equipment. Home chargers built for outdoor use are sealed against rain, and the car and charger check the connection before power flows. For Western Washington weather we use weatherproof enclosures, protected conduit and GFCI protection.
