ElectriCare installs Level 2 EV chargers throughout Costa Mesa. Tesla Wall Connector Preferred Installer, ChargePoint Certified, and licensed electrical contractor (CSLB #778366). We handle permits, panel capacity analysis, and HOA approvals.
Every installation we perform is permitted, inspected, and code-compliant. Skipping a permit risks denied insurance claims, a voided vehicle warranty, and liability when selling your home. If another company offers to skip the permit to save time or money — that is a red flag.
Most Costa Mesa homes date from the 1950s through 1970s, featuring mid-century ranch-style architecture with established electrical systems that often require careful evaluation before EV charger installation. Since 2000, ElectriCare has served homeowners throughout the city, from the tree-lined streets near Fairview Park to the neighborhoods surrounding South Coast Plaza, ensuring safe and code-compliant charging solutions. Our technicians understand that older Costa Mesa properties may need panel upgrades or dedicated circuits to support Level 2 charging stations, which is why we always begin with a thorough system inspection. Whether you're adding an EV charger to a vintage ranch home or exploring battery storage options for backup power, our local expertise means we can navigate Costa Mesa's specific permitting requirements efficiently. Professional installation typically ranges from $1,299-$1,600 depending on your home's existing electrical infrastructure and charger location preferences.

Costa Mesa's Building Department typically processes residential EV charger permits within 5-10 business days for standard installations. Once the permit is approved, we can usually schedule your installation within a week. The entire process from application to final inspection generally takes 2-3 weeks, though this can vary during peak construction seasons.
Many older homes in Costa Mesa neighborhoods like Mesa Verde and College Park may need a panel upgrade to support a 240-volt EV charger. We'll perform a load calculation during your free assessment to determine if your current panel can handle the additional 40-50 amp circuit. If an upgrade is needed, we can coordinate that work as part of your installation, though it will extend the timeline and increase costs beyond the standard $1,299-$1,600 range.
Yes, all permitted EV charger installations in Costa Mesa must pass a final electrical inspection by the city before they can be used. We schedule this inspection on your behalf, and an inspector will verify that the installation meets California Electrical Code requirements. The inspection typically takes 15-30 minutes and is usually scheduled within a few days of completing your installation.
Quality EV chargers are designed to withstand Costa Mesa's mild coastal conditions, including morning marine layer moisture and occasional salt air exposure. We install NEMA-rated outdoor chargers that are weatherproof and corrosion-resistant. Most manufacturers provide warranties covering environmental exposure, and we recommend models specifically tested for California coastal climates.
Your EV charger installation includes both manufacturer warranty on the charging unit itself (typically 3-5 years) and our workmanship warranty covering the electrical installation for one year. This means if any issues arise with how we installed the wiring, conduit, or mounting during that first year, we'll return to fix it at no charge. The charger manufacturer's warranty covers defects in the unit's hardware and electronics.
