BERKELEY DETAILSEV chargers
EV chargers
in Berkeley.
Many Berkeley homes have detached garages, shared driveways or street parking, so the route from the panel to the charger shapes the job.
01
Panel capacity
HAXX checks spare capacity first. Load management can add a charger to a small service without a full upgrade.
02
Detached garages
Circuits to rear garages in Elmwood and North Berkeley often need trenching or a subpanel. HAXX plans the route during the estimate.
03
Ava SmartHome Charging
Ava Community Energy runs a SmartHome Charging program for managed home charging. Check current terms with Ava.

★★★★★
“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 Berkeley: questions, answered.
Do I need a permit for an EV charger in Berkeley?
Yes. HAXX applies through the city's Permits Online portal and schedules the inspection. An EV charger also earns BESO credit when permitted.
Will a charger force a panel upgrade?
Not always. HAXX measures spare capacity first; an energy management device or lower-amp circuit often avoids it.
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.
