Common Questions About EV Charger Installation
Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?
Not always. The electrical panel, existing loads, charger type, and installation route should be reviewed before deciding whether a panel upgrade is needed.
Can you install a charger in a detached garage?
Yes. Detached garage installations may require additional planning for feeder wiring, routing, trenching coordination, subpanels, permits, and inspections.
Do EV charger installations require permits?
EV charger installations may require permits depending on the project scope and location. Pitbull Electrical Services pulls permits when required for applicable work.
Should I choose a charger before requesting a quote?
You can contact us before or after choosing a charger. If you already have a charger selected, include the model or specifications with your request.
What photos should I upload?
Helpful photos include your electrical panel, meter area if easily accessible, garage or parking location, preferred charger location, and any existing wiring or equipment.
