Frequently Asked Questions

How much total can I save on EV charger installation?+

SMUD customers: up to $1,600 (SMUD Charge@Home $600 + federal 30C credit $1,000). If you also need a panel upgrade, the SMUD panel upgrade rebate adds another $2,000.

Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?+

Depends on your current panel capacity. A Level 2 charger needs a 40-50 amp 240V circuit. If your panel is 100 amps or less, you may need an upgrade. NorCal Repairs electricians can assess your panel for free.

A Level 2 home charger provides 20-30 miles of range per hour. Most EVs fully charge overnight (8-10 hours). This is 5-7x faster than a standard 120V outlet.
