Whether you're in a craftsman near Old Town or a hillside home by the Rose Bowl, a dedicated Level 2 charger in your garage changes how you actually use your EV. No more circling for public stations on Lake Avenue or planning your day around charge times. If your property was affected by the Eaton Fire, particularly in the northeast neighborhoods, this is exactly the moment to build EV-ready infrastructure into your rebuild. Getting conduit and circuit capacity right during reconstruction costs a fraction of what it takes to tear into finished walls later. Pulling a permit through the City of Pasadena for an EV charger is straightforward when you know the process: and we handle permitting in-house, not through a third party. Shaffer Construction carries a triple CSLB license (A, B, and C-10), so we can assess your panel, upgrade your service if needed, and run the conduit all under one contract. That's a real advantage in Pasadena, where older homes near Caltech and along Colorado Boulevard frequently need electrical service upgrades before a Tesla Wall Connector or ChargePoint unit can go in safely. Call us at (323) 642-8509 or email hello@shaffercon.com and we'll come take a look at your panel and garage layout. We'll give you a straight answer on what's involved. No hard sell, no padded estimates. Just an honest assessment from a company that's been doing electrical work across Los Angeles for over 25 years.
