Since 2000, ElectriCare has completed hundreds of EV charger installation projects throughout Los Alamitos, from the tree-lined streets near Rossmoor to properties along Katella Avenue and throughout the 90720 ZIP code area. Our technicians have developed deep familiarity with the area's mix of mid-century ranch homes and newer residential developments, each presenting unique electrical considerations for modern charging infrastructure.

Our standard residential EV charger installations typically range from $1,299-$1,600, depending on the distance from your electrical panel and any necessary upgrades.

"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, detached garage installations are common in Los Alamitos, especially in the older neighborhoods near Rossmoor. The main consideration is running electrical conduit from your main panel to the detached structure, which may require trenching across your yard or running overhead lines. Depending on the distance and any obstacles, expect costs in the $1,299-$1,600 range for standard installations under 50 feet.
Many Los Alamitos homes built before 1990 have 100-amp or 125-amp panels that may need upgrading when adding both solar and EV charging. However, if your solar system uses a load management device or your EV charger has smart load-sharing capabilities, you can often avoid a costly panel upgrade. A site evaluation will determine if your existing service can handle both systems safely.
Southern California Edison offers special TOU-D-PRIME rates for Los Alamitos EV owners that provide cheaper electricity from 9 PM to 4 PM on weekdays. Charging overnight during super off-peak hours (midnight to 3 PM weekdays) can cost as little as 15 cents per kWh versus 57 cents during peak evening hours. Installing a smart charger lets you automatically schedule charging during these cheaper windows.
Not necessarily—while Tesla Wall Connectors can use up to 60 amps, most Los Alamitos homeowners install 40-amp or 50-amp circuits which provide plenty of overnight charging speed. A 40-amp circuit delivers about 30 miles of range per hour, meaning your vehicle fully charges overnight even with our longer Orange County commutes. Your electrician will size the circuit based on your panel capacity and driving needs.
While power outages are relatively rare in Los Alamitos, a battery backup system like the Tesla Powerwall or Enphase can keep your EV charger running during grid failures. Most homeowners prioritize critical loads first, but you can configure the system to provide slower Level 1 charging (about 4 miles per hour) to your EV while preserving battery capacity for essential home functions. This setup requires careful load management planning during installation.
