Fontana EV Charger Installation

ElectriCare installs Level 2 EV chargers throughout Fontana. Tesla Wall Connector Preferred Installer, ChargePoint Certified, and licensed electrical contractor (CSLB #778366). We handle permits, panel capacity analysis, and HOA approvals.

We Do Not Perform Unpermitted EV Charger Installations

Every installation we perform is permitted, inspected, and code-compliant. Skipping a permit risks denied insurance claims, a voided vehicle warranty, and liability when selling your home. If another company offers to skip the permit to save time or money — that is a red flag.

Note: Properly permitted installations typically range from $1,200 – $1,600 — not $350.

EV Charger Installation in Fontana

Frequently Asked Questions

My house in Westside Fontana was built in 1978—do I need to upgrade my electrical panel before installing an EV charger?

Not necessarily, but homes from that era often have 100-amp panels that may be near capacity. We'll perform a load calculation during your free assessment to determine if your current panel can handle a 32A or 48A charger, or if a panel upgrade is needed first. Many older Fontana homes can accommodate a charger with some circuit rebalancing.

What's the difference between hardwired and plug-in EV chargers, and which works better with Fontana's heat?

Hardwired chargers connect directly to your electrical system and are permanently mounted, while plug-in models use a NEMA 14-50 outlet for flexibility. In Fontana's hot summers (often 100°F+), hardwired units typically handle heat stress better since they eliminate the outlet connection point that can loosen over time. Most of our Fontana installations are hardwired for this reason and long-term reliability.

Can you help me with the rebate paperwork for SCE's EV charger program?

Absolutely—we handle the Southern California Edison rebate application process for Fontana customers as part of our service. We'll provide all necessary documentation including permits and installation photos to help you secure available incentives. The process typically adds no extra time to your installation timeline.

Is 32 amps enough for overnight charging, or should I go with 48 amps?

For most drivers, a 32A charger (Level 2) adds about 25-30 miles of range per hour, which fully charges most EVs overnight—plenty for typical Fontana commutes to Ontario, Rancho, or LA. Upgrading to 48A makes sense if you drive 100+ miles daily or have multiple EVs, but it requires a larger breaker and may increase installation costs by $150-$300.

Do I need a special breaker for my EV charger installation, and what does that cost in Fontana?

Yes, EV chargers require a dedicated circuit breaker—typically 40A for a 32A charger or 60A for a 48A unit. Most Fontana installations include the appropriate breaker in the $1,299-$1,600 price range, though if your panel is full, we may need to install a tandem breaker or subpanel. We'll assess your specific panel during the site evaluation and provide exact pricing upfront.
