"There is the BEST local solar/car charging needs. Very honest reliable and you will be getting the best deal in the valley hands down. I highly recommend hiring them I have solars for over 15 years and my inverter quit working one day last month and a technician was at my property within 1 hr and my inverter was replaced within a week under warranty 0 cost out of my pocket."
"Stopped by today to get real information about solar for my home. Alex was very straightforward with what was needed. His knowledge of solar spans over 20+years. I feel confident that his business will be the best decision my wife and I will make this year."
"ElectriCare sent 2 experienced techs to our home to troubleshoot a problem with our solar that was made by another company a few years ago. Within 1 hour, these 2 techs found and fixed 2 wiring mistakes made by the other company. ElectriCare is a great company from the office staff to the hard working techs."
"I had multiple issues with my solar system collectively and as offline for almost two years. I contacted ElectriCare and was so impressed with their responsiveness. Allen came out to my home after a couple of email exchanges with pics and to clarify the issues I had."
Yes, Dana Point requires an electrical permit for Level 2 charger installations, which we handle as part of our service. The city typically processes these permits within 5-7 business days, and an inspector will need to verify the installation meets current California electrical code. We coordinate the entire permitting and inspection process so you don't have to visit City Hall on Cove Road.
Many homes in Dana Point's coastal neighborhoods were built in the 1960s-80s with 100-amp panels that may need upgrading for EV charging. If your panel lacks capacity, we'll provide options ranging from a service panel upgrade to installing a load-sharing device that manages power between your charger and other appliances. Most standard Level 2 installations with adequate panel capacity run $1,299-$1,600, though panel upgrades would be additional.
Level 1 charging (120V) adds only 3-5 miles of range per hour, which may suffice if you drive under 30 miles daily, but most Dana Point residents commute to Irvine, San Clemente, or beyond and need faster charging. Level 2 chargers (240V) add 25-30 miles per hour, fully recharging overnight even after longer coastal highway drives. Given our mild climate year-round, Level 2 provides the flexibility most EV owners need without range anxiety.
Absolutely—many Dana Point families are adding second EVs and need dual charging capability. We can install two separate Level 2 chargers, a dual-port charging station, or chargers with load-sharing technology that optimizes power distribution between vehicles. The approach depends on your panel capacity and whether both vehicles typically charge simultaneously overnight.
We strongly recommend it, especially in Dana Point where salt air and coastal weather can stress electrical systems over time. Whole-house surge protection (installed at your main panel) safeguards your expensive EV charger, home electronics, and appliances from power surges caused by grid fluctuations or lightning. It's a relatively small addition during installation that protects your entire home's electrical investment.
