"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."
Not always—it depends on your existing electrical panel's capacity and available breaker spaces. Many homes in San Clemente's coastal neighborhoods have 200-amp panels with enough room for a dedicated 60-amp circuit for the Wall Connector. Our electricians perform a load calculation during your free estimate to determine if your current panel can handle the additional load or if a sub-panel is necessary.
San Clemente requires a permit for EV charger installations, which we handle as part of our service. The city's building department typically reviews the electrical plan to ensure proper load calculations and code compliance, then schedules an inspection after installation. Most residential EV charger permits in San Clemente are approved quickly, and we coordinate all inspections to ensure your charger passes on the first visit.
While a NEMA 14-50 outlet installation can sometimes cost slightly less in materials, the total installation cost in the $1,299-$1,600 range is typically similar to a hardwired solution. The main difference is flexibility—a NEMA 14-50 outlet lets you unplug and move your charger, while a hardwired Tesla Wall Connector offers a cleaner look and slightly faster charging speeds.
San Clemente's salt air and humidity require chargers rated for outdoor use with proper NEMA enclosures to prevent corrosion. We install all outdoor EV chargers with corrosion-resistant materials and weatherproof enclosures that meet California's electrical codes for coastal environments. Tesla Wall Connectors and quality NEMA outlets are designed to handle these conditions when properly installed.
A load calculation determines if your electrical panel can safely handle the additional power draw from an EV charger without overloading your system. We assess your home's total electrical demand—including AC units, pool equipment, and appliances common in San Clemente homes—then calculate the available capacity for your charger. This ensures safe operation and helps us determine if you need a panel upgrade or sub-panel before installation.
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.
