EV Charger Installation
A properly installed Level 2 home charger can fully recharge most EVs overnight, eliminating the need to hunt for public chargers. Golden Valley Electrical installs EV chargers for all major vehicle brands throughout the Sacramento region — assessing your panel, running the dedicated circuit, and making sure everything is permitted and inspected.
What's Included
Every install starts with a panel assessment to confirm capacity for the charger circuit — typically a 50-amp dedicated breaker. We pull the permit, run the circuit from the panel to the charger location, install and mount the unit, and coordinate the inspection. Job isn't done until it's signed off.
What to Know
Level 1 vs. Level 2 Charging
Level 1 uses a standard 120V outlet and adds about 4-5 miles of range per hour — too slow for most EV owners. Level 2 uses a 240V dedicated circuit and adds 20-30+ miles per hour, fully charging most EVs in 6-10 hours overnight.
Panel Capacity Check
Before any charger goes in, we check your panel's available capacity. Many older 100-amp panels in Sacramento-area homes are already near capacity — a panel upgrade may be needed first. We tell you upfront what's required.
Placement, Conduit & Code Requirements
Cord length, NEMA compliance, indoor vs. outdoor rating, and conduit routing all factor into a code-compliant install. We plan before running any wire, making sure the charger is positioned for convenience and everything meets California code.
Frequently Asked Questions
Level 1 uses a standard 120V outlet — around 4-5 miles of range per hour. Level 2 uses a dedicated 240V circuit and charges roughly 5-6 times faster. Most EV owners with more than 20 miles of daily driving find Level 1 insufficient.
Not always, but sometimes. If your panel is fully loaded or you have older 100-amp service, an upgrade may be needed first. We check during the initial assessment and tell you before any work starts.
Yes — outdoor-rated chargers can be mounted on an exterior wall, carport, or near a driveway. They need to be NEMA 4-rated for weatherproofing and run in outdoor-rated conduit. We handle outdoor installs regularly.
