Home EV Charger Installation Los Angeles
Install a Level 2 EV charger at home with the electrical work handled correctly from the start. Shaffer Construction installs Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, Emporia, Rivian, Ford, and universal J1772 chargers across Los Angeles. We check panel capacity, plan the wire route, handle permits when required, and install clean garage, driveway, carport, and detached garage charging circuits.
Level 2 Home Charging That Matches Your Driving
A Level 2 home charger gives most EV owners a full overnight charge without relying on public charging. We size the circuit around your vehicle, charger, panel capacity, and daily driving needs. That can mean a 40 amp, 48 amp, or load managed charger depending on the home. The goal is simple, reliable charging without overloading the electrical system.
Panel Checks, Permits, and Clean Wiring
Before installing a charger, we review the main panel, available breaker space, service size, grounding, wire route, and distance to the charging location. If the panel is tight, we can discuss load management, a panel upgrade, or a different charger setup. We install dedicated 240V circuits, conduit, weather rated equipment when needed, and permit ready work for Los Angeles area inspections.
Tesla, Rivian, Ford, ChargePoint, and Universal Chargers
We install Tesla Wall Connector, Tesla Universal Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, Emporia, JuiceBox, Grizzl E, Ford Charge Station Pro, Rivian Wall Charger, and other major Level 2 chargers. If you have not bought a charger yet, we can help you choose one based on your vehicle, parking layout, WiFi signal, amperage target, and whether you need NACS, J1772, or universal charging.
Detached Garages, Solar Homes, and Long Wire Runs
Many Los Angeles homes need more than a simple charger next to the panel. We handle detached garage runs, driveway charging, carport installations, exterior conduit, trench coordination, solar equipped homes, subpanels, and longer routes from the main service. Send panel photos and the charger location, and we can usually tell you what information is needed for a budget number or site visit.

Complete Home EV Charging Solutions
Shaffer Construction installs home EV chargers throughout Los Angeles County for homeowners who want the work permitted, clean, and sized correctly. A good installation starts before the charger is mounted. We look at your panel capacity, existing loads, charger amperage, parking location, wire distance, and whether the home has solar, a subpanel, or an older electrical service.
Our home EV charger installation process:
- Panel and load review: We check service size, breaker space, existing loads, and whether the home can support the charger amperage you want
- Route planning: We plan the cleanest path to the garage, driveway, carport, or detached garage
- Permits and inspection: When required, we prepare permit ready work and coordinate the inspection process
- Professional installation: We install the dedicated 240V circuit, conduit, breaker, disconnect when needed, and charger mounting
- Testing and setup: We test the charger, confirm safe operation, and help with basic app or WiFi setup when applicable
Common home EV charger projects:
Tesla Wall Connector installation, universal charger installation, 240V garage outlet replacement with a hardwired charger, detached garage EV charger wiring, long driveway charger runs, solar home charging setups, panel upgrades for EV charging, and load management installations where service capacity is limited.
What to send for a faster estimate:
Send a photo of your main electrical panel, a photo of the proposed charger location, the approximate distance between them, your charger model if you have one, and whether the route is through a garage, attic, crawlspace, exterior wall, or underground path. With those details, we can usually give you the next step quickly.
