The charger itself is usually the smaller part.

We quote San Marcos installs flat after looking at the panel, so call (833) 652-8933.

Often yes. A load calculation tells us what is actually available, and where it is tight we use load management so the charger backs off when the dryer or oven is running. That is usually cheaper than upgrading the whole service in San Marcos.

Hardwiring supports higher continuous current, has no plug to loosen over time and is required for some units outdoors. A 14-50 outlet is cheaper and lets you take the charger with you. For most San Marcos homeowners staying put, hardwired at 48A is the better long-term buy.

Yes, a new 240V dedicated circuit is permitted work in San Marcos. We handle the permit and the inspection. It also matters for utility and rebate programs, which usually require proof of permitted installation.

A straightforward garage install next to the panel is a few hours. Long runs, outdoor trenching, attic or crawlspace routing, or a panel upgrade alongside it push it to a full day. We tell you which one yours is before we start.
