Local notes
A 48A charger on a 100A service usually needs a load-managing unit or a panel upgrade.
Visalia, Tulare, Porterville, Dinuba, and unincorporated Tulare County treat a new EV circuit as permitted electrical work.
Garage, carport, and exterior walls are all common. Outdoor installs need a weather-rated charger and a GFCI-protected circuit.
Ask the electrician whether they will pull the permit and coordinate the inspection. That belongs in the bid.
Questions people ask
What type of EV charger should I get?
For home use, a Level 2 (240V) charger typically fills overnight. Size it to the vehicle, how you drive, and what the panel can spare.
Does my electrical panel need to be upgraded for an EV charger?
Many 100A services cannot add a 48A charger. A load calculation tells you whether you need a panel upgrade or a load-managing charger.
Can I install an EV charger outdoors?
Yes, if the unit is outdoor-rated. The bid should include weatherproofing and GFCI protection.
