EV Charger Installation
A charger in your garage. You wake up to a full battery.
Or call or text 303-747-7321
What you get
A circuit built for your car
Charging pulls hard for hours. I run a new line from your panel sized for that.
The charger mounted right
Level, solid, and on the wall where you want it.
The permit and inspection handled
I file it, pay the fee, and handle the inspection. The cost sits inside your price.

What it costs
Most EV charger installs land between $1,600 and $4,900. That covers the whole job. Load calculation, permit, breaker, conduit, wire, mounting, termination, testing and the inspection.
Three things decide where yours falls:
- How far the charger sits from your panel. This is the big one. Wire and conduit price by the foot. Fifteen feet across a garage and sixty feet to a detached one are different jobs.
- Whether the run goes outside. Trenching, weatherproof fittings and sealing every hole add work an inside run skips.
- What your panel needs. A free double slot with capacity to spare means a breaker and nothing more. A full or undersized panel is a separate job.
I quote in person, not over the phone or from a photo. I come out, run the load calculation, and hand you a flat price. The visit is free and you owe nothing at the end.
What I check first
I start at your electrical panel, not at the garage wall.
A charger is one of the biggest loads you can add to a house. I add up what your home already uses. The air conditioner, the range, the dryer. Then I work out what is left.
Sometimes there is room. Sometimes the panel comes first. You find out at the estimate.
What is actually involved
Most of an EV charger install is not the charger. Here is the work behind the price.
Load calculation
I add up what your house already draws. Range, dryer, air conditioner, everything. A charger pulls hard for hours, so this comes first. Before anything gets ordered or promised.
Checking the panel
Two questions. Is there room for a double breaker, and does the panel have the capacity to back it up. Those are separate problems. Either one can stop a job.
The permit
I file it, pay the fee, and handle the inspection. Your city sets the process and it varies. The fee sits inside your price.
The circuit
Conduit and wire sized for a load that runs for hours. Holes through walls and floors get drilled clean and sealed. A run that goes outside or underground gets rated for it.
The breaker
Sized to the circuit and the charger. Landed and torqued to the maker’s spec. I update your panel schedule so the next person can read it.
Protection
Some installs need GFCI protection and some do not. It depends on how the charger connects and which code cycle your city runs. Those differ across the metro. I confirm what yours needs before I quote it, and a GFCI breaker goes in the price.
The charger
Tesla certifies me to install Wall Connectors. I install every other brand too. Bought one already? I install it. Want me to supply it? I can do that instead.
Mounting and termination
Level, solid, and at a height where the cord reaches your car’s port and stays off the floor. Connections torqued to spec, not by feel.
Setup and testing
I set the charger to the right amperage for its circuit. This is the step people skip. Get it wrong and it either trips the breaker or overloads the wire. Then it goes on your wi-fi, and I charge a car with it before I leave.
Plug-in or hardwired?
Both work. They are just different.
Plug-in means a heavy-duty 240-volt outlet, the same kind an electric range uses. Your charger plugs into it. It costs less, and you can take the charger with you if you move.
Hardwired means the charger joins the wiring directly. Many chargers run faster this way, and there is one less part to fail in a garage that bakes in summer and freezes in winter.
Tell me your car and I will tell you which one fits.
Common questions
Which charger should I buy?
Tell me what you drive and I will tell you what works. I check your panel when I come out. I can supply the charger or fit one you already bought. I sell no brand, so I have no reason to push one.
Do I need to upgrade my panel first?
Sometimes. If your panel cannot carry the load, you hear it at the quote. I do panel upgrades too.
How far can the charger be from the panel?
Further than most people expect. A long run costs more in wire. It is not harder. I have run one to the far side of a house and it came out clean.
How long does it take?
Most take one visit. I allow enough time to finish instead of rushing to the next job.
Is a permit required?
That depends on your town. I check for your address before I start. Where one is needed I pull it and handle the inspection. The cost sits inside your price.
Why most people dread hiring an electrician
Everyone has a story about a contractor. Here's what usually goes wrong, and what I do instead.
They show up late (or not at all).
I show up on time.
They buy cheap materials.
I buy materials built to last.
They cut corners.
I think things through.
They leave a mess.
I clean up after myself.
They might be underinsured or unlicensed.
I carry proper insurance and licensing.
They may have a criminal history.
I'm background checked.
They charge by the hour, so you don't know what you'll actually pay.
I quote a flat price, and I stick to it.
They send whoever's available - often an apprentice.
I do every job myself.
They sell you as much as they can, even if you don't need it.
I'll tell you what you actually need.
They vanish when something fails.
I guarantee my work for life. Parts get two years.
They leave the permit to you.
I handle the permit and the inspection, so you don't have to.
I take pride in doing it right, the first time.

“Highly recommend. Adam installed a Tesla Wall Connector in my garage. My panel was on the opposite side of the house so not a particularly simple run. Regardless, the work was completed as described and looked great…”

“I have found my forever electrician. Adam took time to explain his company policies and walked me through what he would be doing. Punctual, honest and affordable. Five PLUS stars from me!”
