EV Charger Install in Seattle, WA
Level 2 charging at home — installed, permitted, and load-calculated so your panel never complains.
The older homes we serve near Madison Park and Laurelhurst frequently need a panel upgrade alongside an EV charger install, given how much these panels are already carrying.

- Tired of slow Level 1 charging
- New EV arriving and need a 240V circuit
- Want to charge two vehicles simultaneously
- Panel needs a load calculation first

EV Charger Installation in Seattle: what's different here
Older Seattle homes near the bridges still have knob-and-tube wiring and undersized panels. Older Seattle panels often can't take a 50-amp EV circuit without changes. We do a load calculation first and use a load-sharing charger or a panel upgrade when needed.
Permits and inspections
A new 240-volt charger circuit is permitted electrical work. Seattle runs its own electrical permit and inspection program, so permits for this work go through Seattle SDCI rather than Washington L&I (L&I list of cities). We pull the permit and meet the inspector.
