Lake Elsinore EV Charger Installation

ElectriCare installs Level 2 EV chargers throughout Lake Elsinore. 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 Lake Elsinore Homeowners Say

"ElectriCare installed a Level 2 charger for my Tesla at our home near the outlet mall. They handled all the city permits and the inspection went through without any issues. The whole process took about three weeks from start to finish, which was faster than I expected."

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need my landlord's permission to install an EV charger at my rental home in Lake Elsinore?

Yes, California law requires written approval from your property owner before installing any EV charging equipment at a rental property. Many Lake Elsinore landlords are open to installations if you agree to use a licensed electrician and potentially leave the charger when you move. We can provide documentation and installation plans that make it easier to get landlord approval.

What if our panel inspection shows we need an upgrade for our two Teslas?

Panel upgrades are common in Lake Elsinore's older neighborhoods when installing chargers for multiple EVs, as most homes weren't built for dual Level 2 charging. We'll assess whether load management technology can avoid a costly panel upgrade, or provide a clear quote for the upgrade work if needed. Many two-EV households can charge overnight without issues using smart scheduling even on 100-amp panels.

Is it true that Level 2 charging is worth the extra cost compared to just using the regular outlet?

Absolutely—Level 1 charging from a standard outlet only adds about 4 miles of range per hour, which isn't practical for most Lake Elsinore commuters heading to Temecula, Riverside, or San Diego. Level 2 charging adds 25-30 miles per hour, fully charging most EVs overnight. Professional Level 2 installation typically runs $1,299-$1,600 depending on your specific setup.

Can you add whole-house surge protection when installing our charger since we get those Santa Ana wind power fluctuations?

Yes, we absolutely recommend whole-house surge protection for Lake Elsinore homes, especially given the seasonal power quality issues during high winds and summer heat. Surge protection safeguards both your expensive EV charger and all your other electronics for a relatively small additional cost. We can install it as part of your charger installation in a single visit.

How long does a typical Level 2 charger installation take at a Lake Elsinore single-story home?

Most installations in Lake Elsinore's single-story ranch-style homes take 3-5 hours from start to finish, depending on the distance from your electrical panel to the garage. We handle the City of Lake Elsinore permit process and inspection scheduling for you. You'll typically be charging your EV the same day or next day after final inspection approval.
