EV Charger Installation in Los Angeles & Orange County
Charge your electric vehicle safely at home with a professionally installed Level 2 charger. All major EV brands supported. Dedicated 240 volt circuits, permit coordination, and inspection support included.
Why Install a Home EV Charger?
Fast, safe, convenient charging at home. A Level 2 home EV charger can add approximately 25 to 40 miles of range per hour, depending on the charger, vehicle, and electrical setup. Compared to a standard 120 volt outlet, also known as Level 1 charging, which may only add 3 to 5 miles of range per hour, a dedicated Level 2 charger gives homeowners a faster and more reliable daily charging solution.
Sammy Electrical Services installs home EV chargers for Tesla, Rivian, Chevrolet, Ford, BMW, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche, Lucid, and universal charger brands such as ChargePoint, Emporia, ClipperCreek, and JuiceBox. Every installation is completed with the proper dedicated 240 volt circuit when required, correct breaker sizing, clean wiring, secure charger mounting, and permit coordination when required by the local jurisdiction.
If your electrical panel does not have enough capacity to support the charger, Sammy can evaluate the panel and include the necessary electrical panel upgrade as part of the project. One licensed electrician, one clear estimate, and one clean installation from start to finish.

Many Level 2 EV chargers commonly require a dedicated high amperage circuit, often in the 40 amp to 60 amp range.

Most standard EV charger installations can be completed in a few hours, depending on the distance between the electrical panel and charger location. Longer wire runs, difficult access, trenching, wall repairs, or panel upgrades can add time. Sammy will explain the expected timeline before work begins.
In many California cities and counties, EV charger installation requires a permit and inspection because it involves a dedicated 240 volt electrical circuit. Sammy Electrical Services can handle the permit coordination and inspection process when required by the local jurisdiction.
