Phase 1

EV Charger Installation Across Seattle

We install home EV chargers throughout Seattle, including Capitol Hill, Ballard, Queen Anne, Wallingford, Green Lake, West Seattle, Magnolia, and Beacon Hill. A lot of Seattle housing stock is older craftsman and bungalow-style homes, often with smaller original electrical panels, so a panel evaluation is part of every quote we return, not an upsell added later.

Newer construction in neighborhoods like South Lake Union and parts of West Seattle typically has more panel capacity to start, which can mean a simpler and faster install.

Phase 2

Seattle Permitting, What to Expect

Electrical permits for EV charger installation in Seattle go through the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections. We file the permit directly and coordinate the required inspection as part of your install, so there is nothing you need to manage yourself.

Phase 4

EV Charger Plus Solar in Seattle

Seattle homeowners installing an EV charger are often the same homeowners who ask about solar a year or two later, once they see the added draw on their power bill. We install both, so if solar is on your radar, we can plan your charger installation with that in mind from the start. See Energy Solutions →
