Why Upgrade to a Home EV Plug?
When you’re relying on the packaged charger that comes with your EV, it’s usually a frustrating experience. It’s slow and can take days to fully charge up your EV, and sluggish to keep up with your daily driving needs. Instead, a professional at-home EV plug gives you more control and faster charging times. You also enjoy dedicated circuits to prevent overloads, safe and code-compliant wiring, and the flexibility to prepare for new or multiple electric vehicles in the future.
Our licensed electricians have installed hundreds of EV chargers and will assess your home’s electrical capacity. We’ll recommend the right EV charger for your preferences, budget, and needs, and install it with precision. You’ll enjoy worry-free charging that’s safe for your home and makes driving an EV more convenient.

When you schedule an EV installation with Rios & Burke, we’ll come out for:
- An on-site evaluation: We’ll check out your existing electrical panel, wiring, and available circuits.
- Custom recommendations: We’ll consider your driving habits, charger type, and future plans.
- Permitting and code compliance: We always handle all of your local requirements to make sure everything is up to code and provide you a hassle-free experience.

- Testing and walkthrough: We’ll make sure your charger is working safely and efficiently and show you exactly how to use it and answer any questions.
Level 2 EV Charger Specialists
Most Sacramento EV owners will choose Level 2 chargers. They offer the best balance of cost and convenience in one place. Unlike standard chargers, Level 2 chargers will charge up most electric vehicles overnight. Our team installs both wall-mounted units in garages and weather-rated outdoor chargers for driveway parking.
We work with all major EV charger models and brands, including Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, and more. We’ll guide you through making the best choice for your home and budget, install it according to the manufacturer’s specifications, and make sure it’s working at its maximum performance.
Electrical Panel Upgrades for EV Charging
Do you have an older electrical panel? Has your home recently undergone renovations or smart home updates, or do you have new appliances and system upgrades? Your home needs more electrical capacity to accommodate an EV charging station.
There are also telltale signs to watch for that you might need a panel upgrade. These signs include frequent breaker trips, lights dimming when appliances run, a lack of available breaker space, or a panel rated below 200 amps. Our team of licensed electricians can replace or upgrade your panel to make sure it can safely handle the added load from your EV charger, along with the rest of your home’s technology and systems.
Additional Electrical Services for EV Owners
When you install an EV plug, you may need a few other home electrical upgrades. Our team also helps with dedicated circuits for new appliances, outdoor lighting for driveway safety, smart home integration to monitor charging, and surge protection devices to safeguard your investment. These upgrades help make your home more efficient, safeguard against electrical surges and other issues, and extend the life of your EV charger.
