Electric Vehicle Installations and costs

We started with Solar City before the electric car and were one of the first certified EV charger installers in the sate. We transitioned to Tesla and began installing charging stations for Tesla from their opening day. Since then we have installed thousands of Electric Vehicle Charger installations for every manufacturer in the market.

You can count on our experience to install the best EV charger for your new car. From 20 amp 120 volt systems to the latest 90 amp 240 volt chargers we have installed them all. Prices for Electric Vehicle chargers can range from $400.00 and up. Contact us for a free estimate.

ABOUT ELECTRIC CHARGERS

The technical term for the equipment we are installing is Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE). Almost no one uses that term or has ever heard of it. Some people call it a car charger, which is technically incorrect.

The unit that we install on the wall is a charging station. It is basically an extension cord to bring AC power to the car. The actual charger is inside the car. We use both terms to appeal to all customers. You can call it either one and we’ll know what you are talking about.
