EV charging stations run $2,000-$12,000 and complete in 1-3 days depending on electrical panel capacity. Federal 25C credit covers 30% of the install up to $1,000. Older 100A panels often need a heavy-up before EV charging can be added. The process below covers panel assessment through activation.
Our licensed electrical subcontractors evaluate your garage or parking area, electrical panel capacity, and distance from the panel to your desired charger location. We discuss your EV model, driving habits, and charging speed preferences.
Outcome:
A clear understanding of your setup requirements and the best charger options for your needs.
We recommend Level 2 chargers (240V) suited to your vehicle and budget -including options from ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Tesla, and others. Your quote details all costs including any panel upgrades needed.
Outcome:
The right charger selected with transparent pricing and any required electrical work identified.
Buildda handles electrical permit applications and coordinates with your utility company. We ensure your installation qualifies for California's EV charging rebates and any utility incentive programs.
Outcome:
All permits secured and available incentives identified for maximum savings.
If your panel needs upgrading or a new circuit is required, we complete that work first. We install a dedicated 240V circuit with the appropriate amperage (typically 40-60A) for your charger.

A dedicated, properly sized circuit ready for your EV charger installation.
Our licensed electrical subcontractors mount your charging station at the optimal height and location. We run conduit and wiring neatly along walls, ensuring a clean, professional appearance.

We connect the charger to your electrical system and configure settings including charge scheduling, amperage limits, and smart features. WiFi-enabled chargers are connected to your network and app.

We test the complete installation, verify proper ground fault protection, and confirm your EV charges correctly. We demonstrate optimal charging practices and answer any questions about daily use.

Verified charging performance with your specific vehicle and full operational knowledge.
After passing city inspection, we help you submit rebate applications through California Clean Vehicle Rebate Project and utility programs. All warranties are registered for your protection.
