"ElectriCare installed a Level 2 charger at our home near Tustin Legacy last month. They handled all the permit paperwork with the city, which saved me a huge headache. The whole job was done in one day and the electrician was really professional."
"I got quotes from three companies and ElectriCare came in at $1,450, which was fair for the panel upgrade I needed. Ryan walked me through exactly what they'd do before starting. Clean work and they cleaned up everything when finished."
"Our charger install in the 92780 area went smoothly from start to finish. The crew showed up on time, answered all my questions about amperage and breaker size, and tested everything thoroughly. Would definitely recommend them to neighbors."
"I needed a charger installed quickly before a road trip and ElectriCare fit me in within four days. They upgraded our older panel to handle the load and the final cost of $1,525 included everything. No surprise fees or delays."
Most installations in Tustin homes are completed in 4-6 hours for a straightforward setup.

We'll assess your specific situation during the free consultation and give you an accurate timeline.
Yes, all EV charger installations in Tustin require an electrical permit from the City of Tustin Community Development Department.

The permit fee is separate from installation costs and ensures your charger meets all California electrical codes.
Many homes in Tustin, especially those built in the 1970s and 80s, have 100-amp or 125-amp panels that may need upgrading to safely support a 40-amp or 50-amp EV charger.

If needed, upgrading your panel ensures safe operation and can cost between $1,299-$1,600 depending on your current setup.
Yes, the City of Tustin Building Division requires a final inspection after your EV charger installation is complete.
