EV Charger Installation
in Sonoma County

Home & Commercial EV Charger Installation

Sonoma County is leading California's electric vehicle adoption, and Eleos Electric is the licensed electrical contractor that EV owners across Windsor, Santa Rosa, Healdsburg, Rohnert Park, Petaluma, Sonoma, and Sebastopol trust for professional charger installations. We install Level 2 (240V) charging stations for every major EV brand — Tesla, Rivian, Ford, Chevrolet, BMW, Hyundai, Kia, and more — using charger hardware from Tesla, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Grizzl-E, Emporia, and other manufacturers.

A Level 2 charger delivers 25-30 miles of range per hour of charging, meaning most EV owners wake up to a fully charged vehicle every morning. Compare that to a standard 120V outlet (Level 1), which provides only 3-5 miles per hour. For Sonoma County commuters driving between Windsor and San Francisco, or between Petaluma and Santa Rosa, a Level 2 home charger is not just convenient — it's essential.

Our Installation Process

Every EV charger installation starts with a comprehensive site assessment. We evaluate your existing electrical panel, calculate available capacity, determine the optimal charger location, and plan the wiring route. This assessment is included in our free estimate and ensures there are no surprises on installation day.

1. Site Assessment & Panel Evaluation — We check your panel capacity, available breaker spaces, and the distance from panel to charger location. If your panel needs an upgrade to support the charger, we provide that quote upfront.
2. Charger Selection Guidance — We help you choose the right charger for your vehicle and driving habits. Hardwired vs. plug-in, 40-amp vs. 48-amp, smart features vs. basic — we explain the trade-offs so you make an informed decision.
3. Permit & Code Compliance — We pull the required Sonoma County building permit and ensure the installation meets NEC 625 (Electric Vehicle Power Transfer System) requirements, including the 125% continuous load calculation.
4. Professional Installation — We install a dedicated circuit from your panel to the charger location using properly rated wire and conduit. The charger is mounted securely, connected, tested, and configured.
5. Inspection & Walk-Through — We schedule the county inspection and walk you through charger operation, smart features, and charging best practices.

Panel Capacity & Dedicated Circuits

A Level 2 EV charger typically requires a 50-amp dedicated circuit (for a 40-amp charger) or a 60-amp circuit (for a 48-amp charger). This is a significant electrical load — equivalent to an electric range or a large central air conditioner. Many older Sonoma County homes with 100-amp panels don't have enough spare capacity for an EV charger without a panel upgrade.

During our site assessment, we perform a load calculation on your existing panel to determine if it can support the charger. If a panel upgrade is needed, we can bundle the panel upgrade and charger installation into a single project, saving you time and money. We also offer load management solutions that can allow EV charging on panels with limited capacity by intelligently managing power distribution.
