"Paul and his team installed a Level 2 charger at our place near Rossmoor last month. They handled all the permit paperwork with the city and kept me updated throughout. The whole job took just under a week from start to finish, which was faster than I expected."
"We needed a panel upgrade before installing our EV charger, and ElectriCare explained everything clearly without trying to upsell us. The final cost came in at $1,450, right where they estimated. Really appreciated their straightforward approach."
"Had ElectriCare install a charger for our Tesla in the 90720 area. The electrician showed up on time, answered all my questions about amperage and circuit loads, and left the garage cleaner than he found it. Good people to work with."
"George was incredibly professional during our charger installation near Oak Middle School. He walked me through the panel work that was needed and made sure everything was up to code. Communication was excellent from the initial quote to final inspection."
Either option works, but hardwired chargers are more common for permanent installations and often required for higher amperage units. Plug-in models (NEMA 14-50 outlet) offer flexibility if you move, but hardwired units provide a cleaner look and are typically preferred for Los Alamitos garages where the charger will be a permanent fixture. We'll help you decide based on your specific vehicle and garage setup.
A 32-amp charger delivers about 25-30 miles of range per hour, which works well for most daily drivers in Los Alamitos where commutes are typically moderate. If you have a larger EV battery (like a Rivian or Ford Lightning) or drive over 50 miles daily, a 48-amp unit providing 35-40 miles per hour makes more sense. Your existing electrical panel capacity will also influence this decision.
Older homes in established Los Alamitos neighborhoods often need a panel upgrade or subpanel installation to safely handle the additional 40-60 amp load. We'll inspect your current electrical system to determine if your main panel has available capacity or if upgrades are needed. Most installations in vintage Los Alamitos homes range from $1,299 to $1,600 depending on the distance from the panel to your garage.
Yes, we assist with all rebate documentation for Southern California Edison's Charge Ready program and the California EVSE rebate when available. Many Los Alamitos homeowners qualify for utility incentives that can offset installation costs, and we'll ensure your paperwork is submitted correctly. We provide all required photos, permits, and technical specifications needed for rebate approval.
Yes, having empty breaker slots doesn't always mean your panel can handle the additional load—the main breaker size and total amperage capacity matter more. Many Los Alamitos homes have 100-amp or 150-amp panels that are already near capacity with AC, pool equipment, and household loads. We perform a load calculation to ensure your system can safely support an EV charger without overloading.
Use our free load calculator to find out in two minutes — no electrical knowledge required. It runs the California Electrical Code calculation and tells you exactly where you stand before you commit to anything.
Your minimum required panel size is determined by your total electrical load — not just your panel size alone. The calculator checks this against California code in real time.
