Home EV chargers · Austin, TX
We install Level 2 chargers in Austin houses and townhomes. Each package lists the run length, the breaker, the permit and the inspection, so the quote has no blank lines.
Packages
Three install packages for a house with a garage or a driveway. Each shows how far the wire runs, what size the breaker is and what is not in the price.
A charger on the garage wall nearest the panel.
Goes up by the foot past 25 ft, or when a finished wall has to open.
A garage where the panel is on the far side of the house.
Wire gauge goes up when the run is long enough to need it. The survey measures it.
A post, a carport or a detached garage away from the house.
Rock, a concrete cut or a tree root in the trench changes the price. We say so at the survey.
Priced for a standard install, with permit and inspection fees in them. A panel upgrade, if the load check says you need one, is a separate quote.
How it goes
Six steps, in order, with the permit and the rebate paperwork on their own lines.
Send the panel door open, the garage wall where the charger will go, and the make of your car.
We measure the run from the panel to the spot, open the panel and run the load check with the air conditioning counted in.
The quote names the package that fits and lists anything outside it. A longer run says how many feet more and what they add.
We apply with the city and book the inspection. You do not stand in a line.
Breaker, wire, conduit and the outlet or hardwired connection go in. The inspector looks at the work before we call it done.
If your utility pays a rebate, you get the itemized invoice, the permit number and the inspection result the application asks for. You send it in; the utility decides.
Utility rebate
Rebate programs belong to your utility and change often. We do not promise one. We make sure the install leaves you with what the form asks for.
Check the current program page before you buy a charger, because some programs list the chargers they accept. Then tell us the program name, and we write it on your quote.

“Our HOA wanted the charger on the unit's own meter. The survey worked out which panel fed our garage, and the quote gave the run in feet.”
“I picked the 25-foot package. They measured 22 feet from the panel to the wall, and the invoice matched the package line by line.”
“The driveway package covered the trench to the carport. I got the permit number and the inspection result in one email for the utility form.”

Service area
Travis, Williamson and Hays counties. If your town is not listed, send the address and we will say.
We do not install in Bastrop County or south of San Marcos.
A new circuit for a charger needs an electrical permit in the City of Austin, and the neighboring cities have their own. We apply for it, book the inspection and meet the inspector. Outside Austin we tell you whose rules apply before you sign.
That is what the load check answers. We add up what your house draws, with the central air running, then check what is left on the panel. If there is room, the package goes ahead. If there is not, we show you the options, and a new panel is one of them, not the only one.
The charger itself, drywall repair and paint, a panel upgrade, and a trench through rock, concrete or roots. The quote lists each one that applies to your house, with a price or with the words not needed.
Your utility may offer one on a home charger. Austin Energy has had a program for its customers, and Pedernales Electric Cooperative and other utilities around Austin set their own rules. Read the current program page before you buy a charger: the rules, caps and charger lists change. We hand you the paperwork the application asks for.
Often, yes. You need written approval from your HOA or landlord, and we need to know which meter and panel feed your unit. The townhome page lists what we ask for first.
No. We install chargers and the panel work around them by appointment. If you smell burning, see sparks, or find a hot or scorched panel or outlet, call 911 for fire. If it is safe, turn off the breaker.
Text the panel with its door open, the garage wall where the charger goes and the make of your car. We call back in office hours to book the survey.
