EV Chargers Installed
in Los Angeles.

Why EV Charging At Home
Beats Public.

You did not buy an electric car so you could spend an hour at a Plug-In America parking lot waiting for a charge. The point is to plug in when you get home, eat dinner, and wake up with a full battery. That requires a Level 2 charger on a dedicated circuit — and in Los Angeles, that requires a permitted, Title 24 compliant install with the right amperage for your specific car.

We install Tesla Wall Connectors, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Wallbox, Grizzl-E, and pretty much every other Level 2 unit certified for residential use in California. We run the dedicated circuit, land the breaker, mount the unit, pull the permit, and stand for the inspection. About 40% of our LA EV installs include a panel upgrade because the existing panel can’t carry another 50A circuit. We figure that out on the site visit, before you commit to anything.

What’s Included in an
Alpha One EV Install.

• Load calculation on your existing panel before quoting — we don’t install something that will trip your main
• Dedicated 240V circuit, typically 50A (40A continuous) per NEC 625
• EV charger mounted at proper height with mounting brackets to spec
• Conduit run — EMT, rigid, or flex as the routing requires; in-wall fishing where possible to keep it clean
• NEMA 14-50 receptacle or hardwired connection (we’ll talk through the trade-offs on the site visit)
• GFCI breaker per NEC 2023 if hardwired, or a GFCI receptacle if plug-in
• LADBS electrical permit pulled and posted before work starts
• Title 24 compliance documentation
• LADWP rebate paperwork — up to $1,000 rebate goes to you, not us
• Final inspection attended on-site
• Written workmanship warranty

Our EV Install Process.

1. Free Site VisitYarden walks the garage, looks at the panel, measures the run from panel to charger location, talks through your car (model, daily miles, charging habits) and your charger (already bought? need recommendation?). 30-45 minutes.
2. Load Calc & QuoteWe run a load calculation on your existing panel. If it can carry the new circuit, we quote the install only. If not, we quote both the panel upgrade and the EV install as a single project. Written, itemized, no surprises.
3. Permit & ScheduleWe pull the LADBS permit (typically 3-5 business days for residential). We schedule the install around your calendar — usually within 1-2 weeks of permit.
4. Install DayMount the unit. Run the conduit. Land the breaker. Power on. Test under load with your actual car if you have it onsite.
5. ConfigurationWe help you set the local-amperage limit on the charger (Tesla app, ChargePoint app, etc.) so it matches the breaker. Walk you through the rebate filing.
6. InspectionLADBS comes out. We meet them. Pass on first inspection is the standard.
7. DocumentationPermit close-out, signed inspection card, written warranty, rebate paperwork. Filed in your project folder.

Cost & Timeline.

Typical schedule from your first call to a powered, inspected charger: 1 to 3 weeks. The actual install is half a day to one day. The permit cycle is the longest single piece — we file it the day you approve.

The LADWP Rebate.

LADWP’s Charge Up LA program currently offers up to $1,000 in residential rebates for Level 2 EV charger installation. The charger has to be permitted, the install has to meet code, and the paperwork has to be filed within 12 months. We give you everything you need on completion: the permit number, the inspection card, the receipt, the model and serial number of the unit. The rebate check goes directly to you.
