See our Roseville electrician page for our complete list of services, or check out our main EV charger installation page for more detail on the process.
Level 2 Home EV Charger Installation in Roseville
A Level 2 charger (240V) is the gold standard for home EV charging — it gives you a full charge overnight instead of waiting days on a standard outlet. We install hardwired or plug-in Level 2 EVSE units from all major brands: ChargePoint, Enel X JuiceBox, Tesla Wall Connector, Emporia, and more. Every installation includes a dedicated 50-amp circuit and full City of Roseville permit. Ready to charge smarter? Call 916-899-3062 or get a free estimate.
Level 1 Charger Outlet Installation in Roseville
If you drive less than 30–40 miles a day, a properly wired 120V outlet near your parking spot might be all you need — and it’s the most affordable starting point. We install GFCI-protected outlets in garages and carports that meet NEC code, so you’re not running an extension cord and hoping for the best. It’s a small job done right, with a permit when required.
Electrical Panel Upgrades for EV Chargers in Roseville
Roseville has a lot of homes built in the 1980s and 90s with 100-amp panels — and adding a Level 2 EV charger to an already-loaded panel isn’t always straightforward. If your panel can’t support the new circuit, we handle the upgrade with the same crew, the same permit, and no surprise handoffs to a different contractor. One call, one team, one job done.
Garage & Outdoor EV Charger Wiring in Roseville
Not every EV charging spot is in the garage — some Roseville homeowners charge in a carport, driveway, or side yard. We run weatherproof conduit and install outdoor-rated EVSE units built for Sacramento Valley heat, UV exposure, and occasional wet winters. We also handle trenching for underground runs when needed. Interested in an outdoor charging setup? Call 916-899-3062 or request a free estimate.

We’ll come to your home, walk through the project with you, and give you a detailed written estimate — no charge, no pressure. Most Roseville projects are booked within 1–2 weeks, so the sooner you call, the sooner you’re charging at home the right way.
Most Level 2 EV charger installations in Roseville run between $800 and $1,500 for a straightforward garage installation — that includes the dedicated 240V circuit, the permit, and labor. If your panel needs an upgrade to handle the additional load, expect $1,500–$3,500 on top of that depending on your current service size. The only way to get your real number is a free on-site estimate. Call 916-899-3062 or → request yours here — no obligation.
Yes — City of Roseville requires a building permit for Level 2 EV charger installations. The city has a streamlined, expedited permitting process specifically for EV charging stations under California Government Code Section 65850.7, which typically means faster turnaround than standard electrical permits. We handle the entire permit process as part of every installation — you don't need to call the city or fill out any paperwork yourself.
The physical installation typically takes 2–4 hours for a standard garage setup. If we're also upgrading your panel, plan for a full day. Most projects in Roseville are scheduled within 1–2 weeks of your estimate — call sooner rather than later if you want to get on the calendar before the next wave of EV deliveries hits.
We install all major residential EVSE brands — Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, Enel X JuiceBox, Emporia, Wallbox, and others. We're brand-neutral and will give you an honest recommendation based on your car, your panel, and how you actually use your vehicle — not based on which brand pays a commission.
Possibly. Roseville Electric Utility customers may be eligible for a $200 rebate on a Level 2 residential charger installation. If your home is in a part of Roseville served by SMUD, rebates up to $600 may be available through the SMUD Charge@Home program. Federal tax credits (Form 8911) may also apply depending on your situation — we'd recommend checking with your tax advisor on that piece. Bring it up at your estimate and we'll help you figure out what you're eligible for. Call 916-899-3062 or → schedule your free estimate.
