You just bought an EV
Level 1 charging adds only 3–5 miles per hour. A Level 2 charger adds 20–30 miles per hour — fully charging most EVs overnight.
You're still using an extension cord
Running an EV on an extension cord is a fire hazard and voids most manufacturer warranties. A hardwired Level 2 install is the safe, code-compliant solution.
Your HOA or landlord requires a permit
California law AB 1236 requires cities to streamline EV charger permit approvals. JetPipe files all permits and handles the inspection for you.
You're adding solar or upgrading appliances
Adding solar, a heat pump, or other high-draw appliances at the same time? A combined EV charger and panel upgrade may qualify for stacked incentives.

FAQ
Common Questions on EV Charger Installation in the Bay Area
Answers to what Bay Area homeowners ask us most before booking. Still have questions? Call us at 650-495-4570.
Do I need a permit to install an EV charger at home in San Jose?
Yes. California law requires a permit for Level 2 (240V) EV charger installations. Under AB 1236, cities must approve straightforward residential EV charger permits within specific timeframes. JetPipe handles the entire permit process — filing, scheduling the inspection, and attending it on your behalf — as part of every installation
How much does Level 2 EV charger installation cost in the Bay Area?
Most Level 2 EV charger installations in the Bay Area cost between $800 and $2,500, depending on your panel capacity, distance from panel to garage, and whether conduit or trenching is required. JetPipe gives you a fixed written price after a free on-site assessment — no surprises
Can I install a Tesla Wall Connector myself?
California law requires a licensed electrician to install the dedicated 240V circuit that powers the charger — and that circuit requires a permit and inspection. Unpermitted installations can create issues with homeowner’s insurance and when you sell your home. JetPipe installs Tesla Wall Connectors and all other major brands as a complete, permit-ready job.
What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 EV charging?
Level 1 uses a standard 120V household outlet and adds approximately 3–5 miles of range per hour. Level 2 uses a dedicated 240V circuit and adds 20–30 miles of range per hour, fully charging most EVs overnight. For daily driving, Level 2 is the practical standard for Bay Area homeowners.
How long does EV charger installation take?
Most residential Level 2 EV charger installations are completed in 4–6 hours. If your panel needs an upgrade, add another 4–8 hours — but JetPipe can often complete both in the same day with one crew.
What EV brands does JetPipe install chargers for?
We install chargers for all major EV brands — Tesla, Rivian, Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevrolet Bolt, BMW, Hyundai Ioniq, Kia EV6, and all vehicles using J1772 or NACS connectors. If your vehicle has a charging port, we can install the right solution for your home.
