PALO ALTO DETAILSHome EV charging
Home EV charging
in Palo Alto.
Palo Alto takes EV charger permits through its online permitting portal and publishes residential submittal guidelines. If a charger needs a transformer upgrade, CPAU has a rebate toward that cost.
01
Right-sized circuit
Most Level 2 chargers draw 30 to 50 amps. On a tight panel, a lower-amperage setting can still cover daily driving.
02
CPAU capacity rebate
CPAU lists a Utility Service Capacity Fee Rebate that can credit transformer upgrade costs tied to an EV charger. Confirm terms with CPAU.
03
Garage or driveway
Hardwired wall connectors or NEMA 14-50 outlets in the garage, or a pedestal with trenching for a driveway.

★★★★★
“The technician from Haxx immediately pointed out multiple violations of the National Electrical Code and explained that the wiring was overheating and could potentially become a fire hazard. They offered to redo the installation the correct way, pulled the proper permit, and installed the EV charger safely and professionally. The city inspection passed without any issues.”
★★★★★
“Recently, my dishwasher stopped working, and they discovered it was actually an outlet issue. Not only did they diagnose it quickly, but they also fixed the outlet—saving me from calling an electrician. Reliable, professional, and skilled at handling both appliances and electrical issues.”
★★★★★
“I purchased a couple of ceiling fans and was reluctant due to how old my house was with old wiring so I wanted someone professional and trustworthy. They have been both!”

GOOD TO KNOW
EV Charger Installation in Palo Alto: questions, answered.
Do I need a permit for an EV charger in Palo Alto?
Yes. HAXX applies through the City's online permitting portal following the residential EV submittal guidelines, then meets the inspector.
Can I add a charger without upgrading my panel?
Often. A load calculation, a lower charging current or a load management device can avoid an upgrade.
How fast will a Level 2 charger charge my car?
Most homes install a 40 to 60 amp circuit, which adds roughly 25 to 45 miles of range per hour depending on the car. Panel capacity sets the limit.
Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?
Often not. A load calculation and a right-sized circuit or load-management charger can avoid it.
