EV charging answer

How fast can an electrician come out?

Short answer

Most network pros respond within a few hours and can schedule the installation within a week. If you are taking delivery of your EV tomorrow and need emergency charging, say so in the form notes. Electricians can often expedite the assessment using photos of your electrical panel.

More detail

Standard response time is hours, not days. Most EVITP-certified electricians in the network handle EV chargers as their primary business, so they move much faster than a general remodeler who treats chargers as a side project.

The assessment is typically completed within 1 to 3 days. Because EV charger installs are relatively standardized, many electricians can provide an accurate quote using photos of your main electrical panel, the panel's rating label, and the wall where you want the charger.

The actual installation usually takes half a day. The longest delay is typically waiting for the city to issue the electrical permit, though many municipalities now offer over-the-counter or next-day online permits for EV chargers.
