EV Charger Installation services in South Lake Tahoe
Charging at home on a standard outlet adds only a few miles of range per hour. A Level 2 charger on a dedicated 240-volt circuit refills most electric cars overnight. Our EV charger installation in South Lake Tahoe covers the load calculation, the circuit, the charger itself and the permit.
Level 2 charger installation
A dedicated 240-volt circuit, typically 40 to 60 amps, with a hardwired or plug-in charger mounted where you park.
Tesla Wall Connector installation
Hardwired installs up to 48 amps, including power sharing between two Tesla chargers on one circuit.
NEMA 14-50 outlet installation
A heavy-duty 50-amp receptacle for mobile connectors and plug-in chargers, with the GFCI protection code requires.
Panel capacity and load management
Load calculations, smart load-sharing devices and panel upgrades when the existing service is at its limit.
Outdoor and detached garage charging
Weather-rated equipment, conduit and trenching to driveways, carports and detached garages.
Commercial and multi-family EVSE installation
Electric car charger installation for workplaces, apartment communities and fleets, with networked or shared-power stations.
Good reasons to install a home charger
- You're charging from a regular outlet and it can't keep up
- You have a new EV on order
- You want to charge off-peak at lower rates
- There are two EVs in the household
- Public charging is costing you time and money

EV Charger Installation pricing in South Lake Tahoe, CA
EV charger installation cost in South Lake Tahoe depends mostly on the distance from the panel to the parking spot, the amperage of the circuit and whether the panel has spare capacity. A charger next to the panel is the simplest install; long runs, trenching or a panel upgrade add cost. Utility and state rebates change often, and we'll point you to the programs currently open in El Dorado County.

EV Charger Installation questions from South Lake Tahoe customers
Do you install Tesla chargers for non-Tesla cars?
Yes. We install the Tesla Wall Connector, the Universal Wall Connector and J1772 chargers, and we'll help you choose based on the vehicles you own now and may own later.
Do I need a permit for an EV charger in South Lake Tahoe?
Yes, a new 240-volt circuit requires a permit and inspection. We handle both. For other heavy loads, see dedicated circuit installation.
Can my panel handle an EV charger?
Many 100-amp panels can, with the right charger setting or a load-management device. We run a load calculation first. If you do need more capacity, see electrical panel upgrades.
Hardwired charger or NEMA 14-50 outlet?
Hardwired is our usual recommendation: it allows higher charging speeds, has fewer failure points and suits outdoor locations. A 14-50 outlet makes sense if you want to take the charger with you.
In customers' words
They installed our Level 2 charger in the garage and explained the load calculation in plain English. Clean conduit run, no mess, and the price matched the quote.
Our buyer's inspection flagged a list of electrical items. Bayshore went through each one, told us which actually mattered and fixed them before closing.
They ran the 50 amp circuit and disconnect for our spa and coordinated the inspection. Neat work, and they showed up when they said they would.
