What are some factors that affect the cost of an EV charger installation?

Charger Type: The cost of installing an EV charger depends on the type of charger you choose. Level 1 chargers are less expensive but slower, while Level 2 chargers are faster but come with a higher price tag. Bonney will help you select the best charger for your needs and budget.
Electrical Upgrades: Installing an EV charger may require upgrading your home’s electrical system. This can include updating the main panel or adding new circuits, which increases the overall cost. Bonney’s skilled electricians will assess your setup and provide a clear estimate for any necessary upgrades.
Installation Location: The location where the EV charger is installed can impact the cost. Installing in a garage or near the main electrical panel is generally less expensive than in a detached area or far from the panel. Bonney will recommend the most efficient and cost-effective location for your charger.

Which EV Charging Station Is Right for Me?

The professionals at Bonney know that each electric vehicle owner has different needs for their EV Charging Station. There are currently two primary EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) options available: Level 1 EVSE and Level 2 EVSE.

Level 1 EVSE:

Level 1 EVSE (also called “trickle” charging stations) units are slower and designed for more mild EV needs. Many electric vehicles come with a Level 1 EVSE, though you may consider buying a second as a replacement or backup. These stations use a 120 volt (V) AC plug, and they vary in power from 12-20 Amps. Level 1 EVSE are perfect for businesses that want to offer EV charging without breaking the bank. They provide low operational costs and use a “standard” outlet on a dedicated branch circuit.

Level 2 EVSE:

Drivers who invest in a residential EV charging station are often looking for a Level 2 EVSE. These stations use a 240 volt (V) AC plug, and they can range in power from 12 Amps to 80 Amps. Level 2 EVSE stations offer significantly faster and more powerful charging. They can provide a sustainable driving range and complete up to 60 miles per charging hour. They are perfect for drivers looking for an easy way to upgrade their EV driving experience.

Thousands of Homeowners in Sacramento Give Bonney 5 Stars!

“Tesla referred Bonney as a trusted home EV charger installer. It was very easy to call and make an appointment. Sid Dip arrived on time and was super professional and quickly surveyed the job. The estimate was moderately priced but reasonable given the outdoor main electrical box and garage were located on opposite sides of the home requiring conduit installation in the crawl space. After approximately 4 hours the work was done and my Tesla car charger had the green light on. I was highly impressed with the professionalism of Sid and the other 2 gentlemen who completed the job. Highest recommendation!!”

“Bonney was the best! Special thanks to Jonathan D., Luis A., and Daniel K. Best team ever. It was a big job, replacing the panel and installing the EV charger, they were here along with the bad weather and it was exceptional service the entire way. I highly recommend Bonney. Not the cheapest but also not the priciest, I ran multiple bids. The little extra was worth my sanity and peace of mind. The finishing work was exceptional and they left my place cleaner than what they found.”

“This is the first time we utilized Bonney’s services, and we are impressed with the entire process, from the initial appointment setup to the installation of the EV charger. Cole from Bonney was kind, respectful, communicative, knowledgeable, and transparent. He provided an estimate on the spot, offered to complete the installation the same day, and did not pressure us. He truly wanted to ensure we made an informed decision.”

How long does it take to install an EV charger at home?

Most home EV charger installations take 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of the job. But other factors may increase that time. For example, if your electrical panel needs to be upgraded, that could take a day to resolve. The same goes for if you have older wiring that needs to be updated to handle the new panel.

Before starting, Bonney’s electricians will provide an estimated timeline based on your specific setup and electrical needs. We won’t leave you in the dark about those kinds of things. Haha, get it?

Do I need a permit to install an EV charger in Sacramento?

Yes, Sacramento requires a permit for Level 2 EV charger installations to ensure compliance with local building codes and electrical safety regulations.

The permitting process involves a few key steps:

Permit application – A permit must be obtained from the local building department before installation begins. This ensures your electrical work meets city requirements.
Electrical inspection – After installation, a city inspector will verify that the wiring, connections, and charger placement comply with California Electrical Code (CEC) standards.
Approval & final sign-off – Once your charger passes inspection, the permit is officially closed, and your system is cleared for full operation.

Here’s the most important part: Bonney handles everything for you! We take care of submitting the application, scheduling inspections, and ensuring your installation meets all legal requirements. This way, you don’t have to worry about paperwork or compliance—we make the process hassle-free!

Can Bonney upgrade my electrical panel if needed?

Absolutely! If your home’s electrical panel doesn’t have enough capacity to support a Level 2 EV charger, Bonney can upgrade it to handle the extra load.

A panel upgrade may be necessary if:

Your current panel is older and at max capacity.
You have frequent breaker trips or electrical issues.
You want to future-proof your home for additional high-power appliances.

What maintenance does an EV charger require?

EV chargers are generally low-maintenance, but a few simple steps can keep them running efficiently for years. It’s a good idea to periodically inspect the charging cable and connectors for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice fraying, cracks, or loose connections, addressing them early can prevent bigger issues down the line.

Keeping the charger itself clean is also important. Dust, dirt, and moisture can accumulate over time, especially if the unit is installed outdoors. A quick wipe-down with a dry cloth every so often can help maintain performance. Additionally, it’s smart to monitor your charger’s performance and ensure your vehicle is charging at the expected speed. If you ever experience inconsistent charging or overheating, call Bonney and we will get you the help you need!
