The charger is the easy part. The electrical is the job.

A Tesla Wall Connector is a straightforward piece of hardware. What determines whether your install goes smoothly is everything behind it: whether your panel has capacity for a 60-amp circuit, how far the run is from the panel to the garage, what the wire has to pass through to get there, and whether the whole thing passes inspection the first time.

That's electrical work, and in Florida it requires a licensed electrical contractor. We hold that license in-house — EC13014750 — along with roofing and building. When a job needs a panel upgrade or a service change to support the charger, we do that too, under the same contract and the same permit.

Wall Connector or Universal Wall Connector?

We install both. Which one fits depends on what's in your garage now and what might be in it later.

Tesla Universal Wall Connector

Adds a built-in J1772 adapter, so it charges Tesla vehicles and non-Tesla EVs from the same unit. Worth the difference if you have a mixed-brand household, if you're likely to change vehicles, or if you want the equipment to still be useful to a future buyer of the house.

We'll tell you which one your situation actually calls for. If the standard Wall Connector covers you, we'll say so.

What a proper installation involves

1. Load calculation: Before anything gets ordered, we calculate whether your existing electrical service can carry a charger alongside everything else in the house. A Wall Connector on a 60-amp circuit is a significant load, and a lot of Tampa Bay homes — particularly anything built before the 1990s — are running 100- or 150-amp service that's already close to full.

2. Panel and circuit: We install a dedicated circuit sized for the connector, run in conduit or appropriately rated cable, terminated in your panel with the correct breaker. If the panel has no room or the service is undersized, we handle the upgrade rather than sending you to a second contractor.

3. Permit and inspection: EV charger installations require a permit and an inspection in every jurisdiction we work in. We pull it, schedule it, and meet the inspector. You don't chase anything.

4. Commissioning: We energize the unit, connect it to Wi-Fi, confirm it's communicating, and verify it's delivering the amperage the circuit is rated for before we leave.

If your panel can't carry it

This is the conversation a lot of homeowners don't get until the installer is already standing in the garage.

Adding a 60-amp EV circuit to a panel that's already near capacity isn't something to work around with a tandem breaker and optimism. It needs either a panel upgrade, a service upgrade, or load management.

Because we're a licensed electrical contractor and a licensed building contractor, we can do the panel work, pull the permit, and coordinate with the utility on a service change — all under one contract. You're not scheduling an electrician, waiting, then rescheduling the charger install.

We're also a certified installer for smart electrical panels, which in some homes is a cheaper path than a full service upgrade. It depends on your loads, and we'll walk you through the math.

Charging on solar

If you already have solar, or you're thinking about it, the EV charger changes the sizing conversation. A car is a significant new load — often the single largest one you'll add to a house — and a system designed before the EV arrived usually wasn't sized for it.

We design and install solar and battery storage as well, so we can look at the whole picture: what the array produces, what the car will draw, when it draws it, and whether adding storage makes sense alongside it. One company, one assessment, no one guessing at someone else's work.

Commercial and multi-family EV charging

We install charging for commercial properties, offices, and multi-family buildings, including the service and panel work that usually comes with it. Commercial installs bring load capacity, conduit routing, and permitting complexity that residential jobs don't, which is where holding electrical and building licenses in-house matters most.

Common questions

How long does a Tesla Wall Connector installation take?

Most straightforward installs are completed in a single visit. A job that also requires a panel upgrade or a service change takes longer and involves a separate utility coordination step.

Do I need a permit for an EV charger in Tampa?

Yes. Every jurisdiction we work in requires a permit and inspection for an EV charger circuit. We handle both.

Can you install a charger if my panel is full?

Yes. We're a licensed electrical contractor, so we can upgrade the panel or the service as part of the same project rather than referring you elsewhere.

Will a Wall Connector work with a non-Tesla EV?

The Tesla Universal Wall Connector includes a built-in J1772 adapter and charges both Tesla and non-Tesla vehicles. The standard Wall Connector is for Tesla vehicles.

Can I charge my EV with solar?

Yes, and it's worth designing for. If you're adding solar and an EV around the same time, sizing the system with the vehicle load in mind produces a better result than adding the car afterward.
