Panel Upgrade & Electrical Prep

Not every Reno home can take a Level 2 charger on the existing panel without changes. Older panels, full breaker spaces, or limited service amps may need an upgrade or other electrical prep before the EVSE goes on the wall.

This page exists so pricing stays honest. If your job needs a panel upgrade, long conduit, or other prep, it will cost more than a standard $700–$1,000 Level 2 install. Call or submit the form with panel photos or amp ratings if you have them — we route to a licensed partner and clarify scope first.

Benefits

  • Know before install day whether a panel upgrade is likely
  • Load calculation and dedicated circuit planning
  • Pairs with Level 2 or Tesla Wall Connector installs
  • Licensed electrician partners handle upgrade work
  • Transparent communication when cost exceeds the standard range

Who it’s for

Homeowners whose service panel is full, undersized, or needs a dedicated circuit and load calculation before a Level 2 charger can be added.

When this applies

Needed when the existing panel lacks capacity or space for a dedicated Level 2 breaker, or when long runs and outdoor work require additional prep.

Honest pricing note: Panel upgrades and major electrical prep are outside the typical $700–$1,000 Level 2 install range. We flag that early so you get a real quote, not a surprise.
