ElectriCare installs Level 2 EV chargers throughout Santa Ana. Tesla Wall Connector Preferred Installer, ChargePoint Certified, and licensed electrical contractor (CSLB #778366). We handle permits, panel capacity analysis, and HOA approvals.
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.
Since 2000, ElectriCare has completed hundreds of EV charger installation projects throughout Santa Ana, from the historic Floral Park neighborhood to modern condos near the Civic Center, learning that the city's mix of early 20th-century bungalows and newer multi-family developments each present unique electrical considerations. Our technicians have become intimately familiar with the older panel configurations common in homes near Main Street and the upgraded 200-amp services typical in developments east of Bristol Street. Whether you're adding battery storage to complement your new charging setup or need a comprehensive system inspection before installation, we approach every Santa Ana project with an understanding of local building codes and the specific permitting requirements of the 92701-92707 ZIP codes. Most residential Level 2 charger installations range from $1,299-$1,600 depending on your home's existing electrical capacity and desired charging speed.

Hardwired chargers are permanently connected to your electrical panel and typically deliver more reliable power for faster charging, which is ideal for the consistent warm climate here in Santa Ana. They also can't be unplugged accidentally and meet NEC requirements for many installations. We'll assess your garage setup and recommend the best option during your consultation, with installations typically ranging from $1,299-$1,600 depending on your electrical panel location.
Many older Santa Ana homes have been updated over the years, but we'll need to inspect your electrical panel and verify you have adequate capacity (usually 100-200 amp service). If your panel or wiring needs upgrading to safely support a 32A or 48A charger, we'll provide a detailed assessment. Most Floral Park homes we service can accommodate Level 2 chargers with minimal upgrades, keeping total costs in the $1,299-$1,600 range when panel capacity allows.
A 32A charger delivers about 7.7 kW and adds roughly 25-30 miles of range per hour, while a 48A charger provides 11.5 kW and adds 40-45 miles per hour. For most Santa Ana residents with typical commutes, a 32A unit fully recharges overnight and costs slightly less to install. We recommend 48A if you drive over 50 miles daily or want maximum flexibility for future EVs.
Yes, we're experienced with Southern California Edison's Charge Ready and residential rebate programs available to Santa Ana customers. We'll provide all necessary documentation from your installation, including permits and electrical specs, to support your rebate application. Many SCE customers receive $500-$1,000 back, which significantly offsets the $1,299-$1,600 installation cost.
It depends on your current panel capacity and available breaker slots—most Santa Ana homes built after 1980 have 200-amp panels that can handle a charger without upgrades. We'll evaluate your panel during the free assessment to determine if you have space for a dedicated 40A or 60A breaker. If an upgrade is needed, we'll explain options, though many installations proceed without panel changes in the $1,299-$1,600 range.
