Expert EV Charger Electrical Upgrade in Los Angeles County, CA

An EV charger electrical upgrade prepares your home's electrical system to safely support a Level 2 charging circuit. Genius Electric Power And Cabling serves homeowners and property owners throughout Los Angeles County who need this work done right.

We assess your current panel capacity, size the new circuit correctly, and upgrade the panel when needed. Our work follows NEC Article 625, the California Electrical Code, and local inspection requirements. A properly sized electrical system stops nuisance breaker trips and protects your wiring from overheating.

EV Charger Electrical Upgrade FAQ

Common questions about ev charger electrical upgrade in Los Angeles County, CA.

You can, if your current panel has enough spare capacity to support the new dedicated circuit. If your panel is already near capacity, an upgrade is required before the charger circuit can be added safely.

Saiyan Electric exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Julio and Rodrigo completed my panel upgrade and did outstanding work. The installation was flawless and passed city inspection immediately. Walter handled the stucco repair, and it also passed inspection right away. Everything was done professionally and looks great. A big thank you to William for his excellent customer service. He was always quick to respond to calls and texts, kept me updated throughout the project, and made the entire process easy. The crew was professional, respectful, and left the work area spotless when they finished. Honestly, I did not expect this level of customer service and attention to detail. Quality work, great communication, and a smooth experience from beginning to end. I highly recommend Saiyan Electric.

Gene from Genius Electric and his team were excellent. Christian, Jordan, and Troy were professional, friendly, and thorough. They completed a full home inspection, identified a cross-wired issue, and explained everything clearly. When we asked about an electrical panel upgrade, Christian went above and beyond with detailed explanations that truly addressed my safety concerns. As a detail-oriented person, I appreciated the clarity and care. Overall, a great experience with a strong mix of professionalism and personal touch. Highly recommend.

Very satisfied customer! Genius Electric upgrade both our interior and exterior panels. When the team came they were professional and organized. In addition to the panels they were able to split some circuits and add a circuit for my garage. The wiring was precise and looked great. I have recommended their services to my friends and family.

Great job! My husband and I had Genius electric come out on several different occasions. Some were small projects, replacing light switches iand ceiling fans and some are much more complicated. Upgrading our electrical to 220v that had to have city approval, when my husband‘s parents moved in. The team was prompt and cleaned up after themselves. Any projects going forward, we will use them again.!!!
