🔍 Step 1: Evaluating Your Electrical System

Before any installation begins, we evaluate:

• Your main electrical panel capacity

• Available breaker space

• Existing electrical load

• Distance from panel to charger location

This step determines whether your system can support an EV charger or if upgrades are needed first.

⚡ Step 2: Dedicated Circuit Installation

Most EV chargers require a dedicated 240V circuit.

This includes:

• Properly sized wiring

• Correct breaker selection

• Safe routing through walls, ceilings, or garages

• Grounding and bonding verification

Dedicated circuits ensure safe, reliable charging every day.

🧱 Step 3: Charger Mounting & Wiring

Once wiring is in place, the charger is:

• Securely mounted to the wall

• Neatly dressed and protected

Whether it’s installed in a garage or outdoors, weather and clearance requirements are always followed.
