Installing a Level 2 charger in a mountain community like Scotts Valley presents a few key challenges, which inexperienced electricians don’t appreciate. Three of the most noteworthy things you’ll want to discuss with your installation technician include:
Many Scotts Valley properties feature original 100-amp panels, which will need to be upgraded before they can safely support the continuous 40- to 60-amp load required by a Level 2 charger.
If your home utilizes a generator or battery backup, the EV charger must be correctly “interlocked” or offloaded to prevent it from draining your emergency power supply during outages.
Many Scotts Valley homes have detached carports, which may need to have an underground trench dug — something that’s further complicated by the rocky soil that’s common in the area.

As you may already know, standard 120V Level 1 chargers can take days to fill a battery. But a professionally installed Level 2 (240V) model can fully charge most vehicles overnight, providing increased convenience without breaking the bank. Our technicians have experience installing most major Level 2 charger brands, including Tesla, Ford, and more.
Not all electrical panels are capable of powering a Level 2 charger, but our technicians will be happy to perform detailed load calculations for your existing breakers. If your current panel appears incapable of safely powering your charger, they can install a sub-panel of carry out a full service upgrade to ensure your new charger works flawlessly.
Selecting the ideal charger for your needs is sometimes tricky, but our technicians will help you choose the best setup for your garage or driveway. Whether you’ll be better served by a hardwired charger or a plug-in model, we’ll ensure the wiring and outlets are properly configured to withstand the charger’s energy requirements.

We also provide the necessary documentation to help you claim any federal tax credits or local utility rebates available.
