EV Charger Installation FAQ

Use the quote form or call. Tell us your car's make, model and year, the charger you have or want, and your city, and attach a photo of your open panel and the spot where you park. Those details decide the circuit size and the route, which are most of the price.

Ogden, South Ogden, North Ogden and Eden, which is now part of Ogden Valley City. Each area page covers the local permit office, housing and weather, because those change how an install is planned.

Your electrical panel with the door open, close enough to read the breaker labels and the main breaker size, and the place you want the charger, taken from where the car parks. For a detached garage or outdoor spot, add a wider photo showing the path from the house.

Start with your car's port and onboard charger rating, then decide between hardwired and plug-in, indoor or outdoor, and whether you want app scheduling. Our charger guides compare the major home chargers on verified specs rather than declaring a single winner.

A standard 120-volt outlet adds only a few miles of range per hour, which can work for short commutes and plug-in hybrids. Most full-electric drivers in the Ogden area want Level 2 so the car is full every morning, including in winter when range drops.

Match the charger to your car's onboard charger and what your panel can spare. Many cars accept 32 to 48 amps on Level 2. A 48 amp charger needs a 60 amp circuit, a 40 amp charger a 50 amp circuit, and a 32 amp charger a 40 amp circuit.

Not necessarily. A load calculation shows how much spare capacity your service has. When it is tight, options include a lower charger setting, a load management device, a subpanel or, when the numbers require it, a panel or service upgrade.

A new EV charging circuit is permitted electrical work in all four cities we cover. Ogden City, South Ogden, North Ogden and Ogden Valley City each run their own permit process, and some North Ogden addresses fall under Weber County, so jurisdiction is checked by address.

Yes, with a charger and fittings rated for outdoor use, a holster that keeps the connector off the ground, and a location that plows and shovels will not hit. Eden and Ogden Valley see far colder nights and more snow than the Ogden bench.

Rocky Mountain Power's residential charger rebate ended January 1, 2026, and the federal 30C credit does not apply to chargers placed in service after June 30, 2026. Rocky Mountain Power still offers incentives for business, workplace and multifamily chargers.

Often, yes. Some chargers, such as Tesla's Wall Connector, support power sharing so several units split one circuit, and load management devices can do something similar. Whether it works for you depends on both cars' daily driving and your panel.

Stop and look for heat, discoloration or a burning smell first, and leave the breaker off if you find any. Common causes include a GFCI breaker conflicting with the charger's own protection, an amperage setting too high for the breaker, and loose or worn connections.
