Yes in nearly all cases. Level 2 EVSE installs need a permit and inspection under the California Electrical Code (CEC), including NEC Article 625 requirements for electric vehicle power transfer. We pull the permit and size the circuit correctly.
We do not recommend DIY Level 2 installs. Hardwired EVSE involves 240V circuits, torque specs, and CEC/NEC Article 625 rules. Unpermitted work can fail inspection, void warranties, or create a fire hazard. A licensed C-10 electrician should install and permit the circuit.
Service Questions
Yes. We install Level 2 chargers for Garden Grove homes, check panel capacity, upgrade when needed, and handle permits. Every project is different — we provide a custom quote after we see your site. Typical EV charger installation work often starts at $1,000+ before materials, permits, and final scope; there is no one-size-fits-all maximum.
Sometimes for temporary or lower-power charging with a listed cord-and-plug EVSE, but sharing a dryer circuit is usually a bad long-term plan and may violate continuous-load and receptacle rules. Dedicated EVSE circuits sized under NEC Article 625 are the safe, inspectable solution.
Yes. We offer same-day service in Garden Grove when available. We accommodate urgent electrical needs whenever possible.

"Michael came to install 4 ceiling fans, a Tesla charger, and a new outlet in the bathroom. He gave me a good price. Saying I had to write him a good review. I got busy with personal issues at home. But I knew I might call him again for more work around the house. And I'd write the review later. He quotes me almost triple the price, this time. Saying his prices have changed. And badgering me about how I didn't write the review. He says he's thinking about adhering to the same price as our first job, if I write the review. I write him a nice review.Show it to him. He tells me, I should've written the review two months ago, and he won't change his pricing. So here we are. I don't like people who manipulate for a review."
