What We Installed

Dedicated 240V circuit for a Level 2 EV charger to support faster charging at home.
New 50-amp breaker installed in the existing service panel for proper overcurrent protection.
Approximately 40 feet of 8/3 NM-B cable routed from the panel to the garage, neatly secured and labeled.
Customer-supplied EV charger connection, including hardwiring or receptacle install as appropriate for the unit.
Professional testing and verification to confirm correct voltage, polarity, and connections at the charger location.

This configuration provides the capacity most Level 2 EVSE units require while keeping the installation tidy and accessible for future maintenance.

Permitting and Inspection

Our team filed the electrical permit with the local authority, helping ensure the installation aligns with applicable code and jurisdictional requirements. We also coordinated the inspection process so the homeowner could enjoy a safe, code-compliant setup without guesswork. If additional non-electrical permits are ever required by a jurisdiction, we advise homeowners on next steps and options.
