How to Choose an EV Charger Installer

What to check before hiring

• Verify the installer is a licensed electrician in your state.
• Ask about EVITP certification — the industry standard for EV charger installation safety.
• Confirm they handle permitting and inspections, not just the physical install.
• Check if they are certified by your charger manufacturer (Tesla, ChargePoint, etc.).
• Ask about panel capacity — many homes need a panel upgrade for Level 2 charging.
• Get the total installed cost including materials, labor, permit fees, and any panel work.
• Ask about warranty on workmanship, not just the charger warranty.
