EVCHARGE4U - Berkeley's Certified Electrical Contractor

Our service is a complete, start-to-finish solution. It begins with a personal, on-site electrical inspection to assess your home's capacity and panel. Our EVITP and Tesla-certified electricians then handle the full installation or any necessary panel upgrades, ensuring everything meets California safety codes. We specialize in Level 2 and Tesla Wall Connectors, providing a professional setup that's ready for reliable daily use. As a local, licensed contractor, we manage all permits and inspections for Berkeley residents, leaving your property clean and your charging station fully operational.

Absolutely. This is a common situation in Berkeley's historic neighborhoods. Our process starts with a thorough electrical inspection to evaluate your existing panel, wiring, and overall capacity. We often find that older homes need a service upgrade or a dedicated new circuit to support a Level 2 charger safely. As a full-service electrical contractor, we can perform any necessary installation or replacement work, from panel upgrades to running new conduit, ensuring your system is robust and safe for an EV charger and your home's other electrical needs.

While a standard EV charger won't work during a power outage, we can discuss integrated solutions during your installation consultation. For Berkeley homeowners concerned about PSPS events, we can design a system that incorporates a home battery backup (like a Tesla Powerwall). This setup can allow you to charge your vehicle from stored solar or grid energy during an outage, turning your EV into a potential power source for your home. We assess your specific needs and electrical setup to provide safe, code-compliant options for increased energy resilience.
