Hardwired vs Plug-In
Hardwired: charger directly wired to circuit. Cleaner aesthetic, slightly faster (40A vs 32A typical). Required by some HOAs and apartment installs.
Plug-in (NEMA 14-50): charger plugs into 240V outlet like a dryer. Easier to swap chargers later, portable for moves.
Why You Need Permit + Inspection
older single-family homes from the 60s-80s commonly have aluminum branch wiring and undersized panels California requires permit + inspection for any new 240V circuit install. We handle paperwork. Inspection ensures compliance with NEC + local codes.
Skipping permit may void homeowner's insurance and complicate sale-of-home disclosure. Always permit.
