EV Charger Installation in San Diego

Power Your EV at Home or Work with a Certified Installer

Driving an electric vehicle? Let Upgrade Electric make charging simple, safe, and efficient. We offer professional EV charger installation in San Diego, helping homeowners and businesses get the most out of their electric vehicles.



Whether you’re installing a Level 2 charger in your garage or outfitting your commercial parking lot with multiple stations, our licensed electricians handle everything — from permitting and wiring to code compliance and charger activation.

Why Professional EV Charger Installation Matters

While it may be tempting to install an EV charger on your own, it’s essential to work with a licensed electrician to ensure:

• Proper electrical load management
• Upgraded panels or circuits if needed
• Safe, grounded connections
• Full compliance with California codes and utility requirements
• Warranty protection for your charging unit

Many homes in San Diego were not built to handle the demands of modern EV charging. Our team evaluates your existing electrical system and recommends the right solution for your vehicle, usage, and energy needs.

Is Your Electrical Panel EV-Ready?

Adding an EV charger can increase the demand on your existing panel. Before installation, our electricians perform a detailed inspection to determine if an electrical panel upgrade or subpanel is needed.

We offer:

This ensures your charger operates efficiently — without overloading your system or risking power interruptions.
