Why Encinitas homeowners call CLD Electric for this
Encinitas homes range from vintage beach cottages that need rewires to newer builds that need EV chargers or hot tub circuits. We cover 92024 and 92007 — Encinitas, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, and Leucadia regularly — dispatch time to your area is running about 50-70 min.
When you install a Level 2 EV charger in Encinitas, you want a licensed electrician who: knows the local permit process, coordinates with SDG&E cleanly, respects your property, and doesn't disappear after the invoice is paid. That's what we've been doing since 2004.
The typical Encinitas ev charger installation call
What we do: 40-50A dedicated circuit for a Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, or universal J1772.
Why it matters: You just bought a Tesla, Rivian, or Mustang Mach-E. You're tired of 12-hour Level 1 charges. You're planning a second EV.

What you get from us that you won't from a big-box installer
A load calc — an actual, real one. Not a guess. We measure your existing service capacity against your existing loads plus the new charger.
Wire sizing to the manufacturer's spec, not the minimum. Charging at 48A for eight hours a night is a heavy continuous load — undersized wire runs warm, and warm wire is a fire risk. We spec generous.
Permit pulled, inspection scheduled, sign-off obtained. SDG&E's EV programs sometimes require inspected work.
