“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!”
Level 2 EV charger installation in Santa Cruz County
Whatever charger you've picked — ChargePoint, Wallbox, JuiceBox, Enphase, Grizzl-E, others — we install it. Brand-neutral, code-compliant, permitted.
Level 2 charging is the standard home EV charging mode — 240V at 16–80A, delivering 3.8–19.2 kW depending on the charger and circuit. There's a wide field of Level 2 chargers on the market: the Tesla Wall Connector for the fastest standard install (covered on its own page), ChargePoint Home Flex, Wallbox Pulsar Plus, JuiceBox, Grizzl-E Smart, Enphase IQ EV Charger, and others.
We're brand-neutral on installation. If you've picked a charger, we install it. If you haven't, we'll talk through the options at the free inspection — based on your EV, your budget, your charge-speed needs, smart-features preference, and whether you have or plan to have solar.
The install itself is similar across brands: a dedicated circuit run from panel to charger location, mounting, commissioning, and the AHJ permit + inspection. The wire gauge and breaker size follow from the charger amperage you choose — and whether your panel can carry that amperage is the first thing we check.
Exactly what we handle — and the two things you handle.

Free home electrical inspection
A tech walks the panel, the charger location, and the circuit run, runs the panel-capacity math, and helps with charger selection if you're still deciding. Written quote within 48 hours.
Schedule
Install scheduled once the charger is in hand — yours or ours. If a panel upgrade is needed, we sequence that first.
Day of work
Circuit run from the panel, charger mounted and terminated, unit commissioned on its app, breaker labeled. AHJ inspection coordinated same day where possible.
Walkthrough
App setup, charging schedule configured for your PG&E rate plan, warranty registered, and the paperwork left with you.
Every quote is free. The range depends too much on your home to fake it.
Quotes are free and specific to your home. Charger amperage and panel headroom set the frame; the run from panel to parking spot sets most of the rest. The factors below are what actually move the number — the free inspection turns them into a written quote.
“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.”

Smart features — what's actually worth paying for?
Will my existing panel support the charger?
