Project description
I recently bought an electric vehicle and want to stop relying on public charging points, so I am looking for a qualified electrician to install a Level 2 home charging station in my attached garage. The charger unit itself has already been purchased and is sitting in the box, unopened, waiting for a professional to mount and wire it correctly. What I need is the full job: running a new dedicated circuit from my main electrical panel to the garage wall where the unit will be mounted, installing the appropriate breaker sized for the charger's amperage draw, pulling the correct gauge wire through conduit, and terminating everything according to local electrical code.
The distance from the panel to the mounting location is roughly forty feet, and the wire will need to run along a basement ceiling before coming up through the garage wall, so some drilling and conduit fastening will be required. I would like the final installation to look tidy, with conduit run in straight lines and secured properly, not just the fastest path taped along the wall. The mounting height should be comfortable for plugging in a charging cable without bending down too far, and positioned so the cable reaches both of my parking spots in the garage.
I also need the electrician to confirm that my current panel has enough spare capacity for the new circuit, and if not, to advise whether a panel upgrade or a load management device would be the better solution before starting the wiring work. Safety is my top priority here since this involves a high-amperage circuit running continuously for hours at a time while the vehicle charges overnight, so proper grounding, a correctly rated breaker, and code-compliant conduit sizing all matter a great deal to me.
Once the wiring and mounting are complete, I need the charging station tested with an actual vehicle connected to confirm it charges at the expected rate and that there are no fault codes or tripped breakers. I would also appreciate a brief walkthrough on how the unit's status lights work and what to do if it ever displays an error. If a permit or inspection is required in my area for this kind of electrical work, please include that in your estimate and handle the paperwork, since I have never dealt with an inspection before and would rather have someone experienced guide me through it.
Please share your relevant experience with EV charger installations specifically, not just general electrical work, along with a rough timeline for how many hours or days this project would take from start to finish, and whether you can source any additional materials like conduit or breakers yourself or if you need me to purchase them in advance.
