EV Charger Installation in Santa Cruz

Power your electric vehicle conveniently at home or your business with professional EV charger installation by Evolve Electric.
Having an EV charger at home not only increases your property value but also offers several benefits. It provides the convenience of charging your vehicle overnight or during the day, eliminating the need to wait at public charging stations.

Additionally, home EV chargers are more cost-effective than public options, especially if you charge during off-peak hours when rates are lower, or even free, depending on your energy provider. Another advantage is that charging at home overnight can help extend your battery life by up to 20%, enhancing the longevity of your vehicle’s power source.

We Are Proudly Serving the Counties of Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Monterey.

Safe and Efficient EV Charging Solutions

There are obvious benefits of having a home EV charger, such as the convenience of charging your vehicle overnight and the cost savings compared to public charging stations. But even more than that, Evolve Electric specializes in installing a variety of EV chargers, including Level 2 chargers, to meet the demands of EV owners. We offer quality workmanship and exceptional customer service.

in Santa Cruz

Level 2 EV Charger Installation

Level 2 chargers, also known as fast chargers, generally charge three to seven times faster than a Level 1 charger, depending on the car and charger model.

Home Electrical System Assessment

Before installing your EV Charger, we will assess your home’s electrical system to ensure it can support the additional load. Such an assessment is vital to ensure no overload and safety hazards occur during charging.

Charger Selection Assistance

There are different EV chargers, each with its own pros and cons. Level 1 charging devices come included with your EV but are slow in charging. Level 2 charges are sold separately but are much faster. A 30-amp charging service offers the capacity to add 30 miles of range in about an hour, but some EVs only accept 16 amps.
Evolve Electric helps you choose the right EV charger for your needs, considering factors such as vehicle compatibility, charging speed, and smart features.

Professional Installation

The installation of an EV unit can be daunting, even when you have wiring experience. The risks involved can be an overload of your home’s system and other safety issues. So, Evolve Electric’s insured technicians offer professional installation to ensure the charger is set up correctly and safely.

Electrical Panel Upgrades

In some cases, your home may require an electrical panel upgrade to support the additional power demands of an EV charger. Evolve Electric’s insured technicians can upgrade your existing panels to the required power levels for your EV charger.

Smart Charger Integration

Wi-Fi-enabled EVSEs with touchscreens offer features that can be controlled remotely for metering, monitoring, and changing charging events.
Our technicians can integrate smart chargers with your home automation system, allowing you to monitor and control your charging remotely through a smartphone app.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Evolve Electric offers ongoing support, including maintenance and troubleshooting services, to ensure your EV charger continues to operate efficiently.

Benefits of Installing a Home EV Charger

Convenience & Accessibility

Rather than relying on charging stations, having a home EV charger allows you to charge your vehicle overnight and eliminates the need for frequent trips to public charging stations. With a Level 2 charger, your car will be drive-ready every morning.

Cost Savings

Public EV charging is convenient when traveling, but the cost can be as much as three times higher compared to home EV charging. A full charge on a 40kW battery costs an average of $8 to $10 for Level 2 charging, as opposed to a public Level 2 charging station which typically costs an average of $1 to $5 an hour, translating to $0.20 to $0.25 per kWh.

Increased Property Value

With more and more drivers switching to EVs, installing a home EV charger can significantly increase your property’s value, making it more appealing to future buyers who own electric vehicles.
