“This company is one of the most thorough, professional, and competent companies I’ve ever had do work on my home. They upgraded my electrical panel to 200amp and installed an EV charger. Everything was handled flawlessly and the work was absolutely superb!”
EV Charger Installation in Santa Cruz County
Tesla Wall Connectors. ChargePoint, Wallbox, JuiceBox, Enphase, Grizzl-E. Brand-neutral installs. We check your panel first.
Home EV charging is the most common project we do — and it's almost always paired with a panel-capacity conversation. The 48A Tesla Wall Connector + the 40A ChargePoint Home Flex + most other Level 2 chargers add a continuous load that older Santa Cruz panels weren't sized for. Sometimes the panel fits the new load; sometimes we need to upgrade first.
We install whatever Level 2 charger you've picked — Tesla Wall Connector (most common), ChargePoint Home Flex, Wallbox Pulsar Plus, Grizzl-E Smart, JuiceBox, Enphase IQ EV Charger 2, others. Brand-neutral. If you haven't picked one yet, we'll walk you through the options at the free inspection.
Our typical EV install: free home inspection → panel-load check → quote with realistic ranges → schedule → a single-visit install for most homes → AHJ inspection → walkthrough. If the panel needs upgrading, we sequence the panel work first OR quote both together for a single project.
20-year workmanship warranty on every install. AHJ permit pulled + coordinated as part of every quote — Santa Cruz County requires it.
Will your panel support the charger?
Often yes for 16A or 32A chargers, often no for the faster 48A units without a panel upgrade. We run the NEC load math before quoting — no guessing.

Tesla Wall Connector Installation
The 48A Wall Connector is the fastest standard home Level 2 charger — and the Universal version charges any EV, not just Teslas. It's what we usually install. We size your circuit, pull the permit, and set it up the right way.
Level 2 EV Charger Installation
Whatever charger you've picked — ChargePoint, Wallbox, JuiceBox, Enphase, Grizzl-E, others — we install it. Brand-neutral, code-compliant, permitted.
Every quote is free. The range depends too much on your home to fake it.
Real ranges per service + charger choice. Heavily affected by the panel-upgrade-needed-or-not decision — that's why the panel check comes first.
“Sunrise put in an Charger for my E car. It was not an easy job as they had to crawl under the house in a very small crawlspace to do so. They were very friendly on time and did a great job. I would definitely recommend them.”
“Excellent experience working with Sunrise. They came out on a Sunday to install our EV charger and completed everything in one day. Very professional, punctual, and a great price too. We will be using them for all our electrical jobs going forward.”
