Riverside EV Charger Installation

ElectriCare installs Level 2 EV chargers throughout Riverside. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it typically take to install an EV charger at my Riverside home?

Most installations in Riverside are completed in 4-6 hours for a standard setup. However, if your electrical panel needs an upgrade or the charger location is far from your panel, the timeline may extend to 1-2 days. We'll assess your specific situation during the free site evaluation and give you an accurate timeframe before starting work.

Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel before installing a Level 2 charger?

Many homes in Riverside's older neighborhoods like Wood Streets or Canyon Crest have 100-amp panels that may need upgrading to support a Level 2 charger alongside your AC during our hot summers. We'll inspect your panel capacity during our site visit and let you know if an upgrade is necessary. If your home already has a 200-amp panel with available breaker space, you're typically good to go without modifications.

What's involved in the permit process with the City of Riverside for EV charger installation?

The City of Riverside requires an electrical permit for EV charger installations, which we handle on your behalf. We submit the application to Riverside's Building & Safety Department, and permits typically take 3-5 business days to process. The permit cost is included in our installation pricing, and we coordinate the required city inspection once the work is complete.

Is the warranty coverage different if I install the charger myself versus having it professionally installed?

Most EV charger manufacturers require professional installation to maintain the full warranty coverage on the unit. DIY installations often void the product warranty and won't pass Riverside's electrical inspection requirements. Our installations include a 3-year labor warranty in addition to the manufacturer's equipment warranty, giving you complete peace of mind.

Can the city inspector fail my installation, and what happens if they do?

Riverside city inspectors verify that the installation meets National Electrical Code and local safety standards, and professional installations rarely fail inspection. If any issues arise during the inspection, we return promptly to address them at no additional cost and arrange for re-inspection. Our installations are performed by licensed electricians familiar with Riverside's specific requirements, so you can be confident in passing on the first visit.
