EV Charger Installation
Level 2 home EV charger installation — often paired with solar to charge from PV production.
Most solar installers also do Level 2 EV charger installs because it uses the same electrical trades. A typical install adds a 40A or 50A circuit from your main panel to a hardwired or NEMA 14-50 plug; depending on your panel headroom you may need a panel upgrade or a load-management device. Pairing with solar + battery lets you charge primarily from PV production, which dramatically lowers your effective cost per mile.
