La Palma EV Charger Installation

ElectriCare installs Level 2 EV chargers throughout La Palma. Tesla Wall Connector Preferred Installer, ChargePoint Certified, and licensed electrical contractor (CSLB #778366). We handle permits, panel capacity analysis, and HOA approvals.

We Do Not Perform Unpermitted EV Charger Installations

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.

Note: Properly permitted installations typically range from $1,200 – $1,600 — not $350.

What La Palma Homeowners Say

"ElectriCare installed our Tesla charger in the garage last month and handled all the permit paperwork with the city without us having to do anything. The electrician explained everything about the 60-amp circuit upgrade and was really professional. Our neighbors on Florwood Avenue have been asking who we used."

Stephen M.
La Palma, CA

"I got three quotes for our EV charger installation and ElectriCare came in at $1,450, which was fair for the panel upgrade we needed. They finished everything in one day and the work area was cleaner when they left than when they started."

Andrea K.

"Jonathan walked me through exactly what was needed for our Rivian charger and why our old panel had to be replaced. The whole job took about six hours and he answered every question I had without making me feel like I was bothering him. Really happy with how it turned out."

Ruth T.

"We're over near Central Park and needed a charger installed pretty quickly before a road trip. ElectriCare fit us in within three days and the electrician showed up exactly when he said he would. The installation looks clean and everything works perfectly."

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need permission from my landlord to install an EV charger at my rental home in La Palma?

Yes, California Civil Code Section 1947.6 requires you to get written approval from your property owner before installing an EV charger. Your landlord cannot unreasonably deny the request, but they can specify installation requirements and may ask you to use a licensed electrician. We can provide documentation and work with property managers throughout La Palma to make the approval process smoother.

What if we have two electric vehicles and want to charge both at the same time?

Most La Palma homes can support dual EV chargers, but it depends on your electrical panel's available capacity. We'll perform a load calculation during our inspection to determine if your panel can handle two Level 2 chargers simultaneously, or if a panel upgrade is needed. Many families opt for a load-sharing system that intelligently distributes power between both chargers.

Is it true that older homes in La Palma often need panel upgrades before installing a Level 2 charger?

Many homes built in La Palma during the 1960s and 70s have 100-amp panels that may be at or near capacity, which our inspection will reveal. If an upgrade is needed, we'll identify this upfront and provide options. However, plenty of these homes have sufficient capacity, especially if they've had previous electrical work done.

How much faster is Level 2 charging compared to just using a regular outlet?

Level 2 charging is roughly 5-7 times faster than Level 1, adding about 25-30 miles of range per hour compared to just 3-5 miles with a standard 120-volt outlet. For most La Palma residents with typical daily commutes to nearby areas, Level 2 charging means your vehicle is fully charged overnight. Installation typically ranges from $1,299-$1,600 depending on your home's specific setup.

Can whole-house surge protection really prevent damage to my new EV charger?

Absolutely—surge protection guards your EV charger, along with all your other electronics and appliances, from voltage spikes caused by lightning, grid fluctuations, or transformer issues. Given the investment in both your electric vehicle and charging equipment, whole-house surge protection is an affordable safeguard we recommend to all our La Palma customers. We can install it as part of your charger installation service.
