Rick came out to the house to evaluate installation for a wall charger. Our home was built in 1985. It was necessary to make some upgrades. He was very thorough and explained everything very well. He walked me through the process how to safely and properly upgrade my electrical panel so I could install the charger for the Tesla. I highly recommend car charger guy. I was bummed that he could not do the job for me. You are in good hands. read more

Rick and his team was amazing. This was the first one done by Rick. I've had 3 EV chargers installed since 2018. This was by far the friendliest, smoothest of all experiences. Don't search any further. He is worth 6 stars if I could add an extra one! read more

Rick and his wife were friendly and helpful, explaining everything (in a way even I could understand!) about a tricky wall charger installation. At my house, the breaker is on the opposite end of where the garage is. I knew it was going to be expensive. Already had one estimate for several thousand $$. Rick brainstormed a way to get the job done at 2/3 the cost of 1st electrician. Works fantastic and looks cool too! read more

I am sure that most people when first getting involved with EV charging are a tad mystified. Level 1, 2, 3??? Kilowatts, Amps, Volts. AC - DC. When we bought our BMW i4 a couple of weeks back, we "assumed" that our dryer outlet at 240 volts, was able to use the adaptor that BMW supply with their charger for express charging. (you also get a 120v adaptor that charges to 100% in about 2 days). Not so. We discovered that the dryer outlet is Nema (yes, another mystery) 10/30 whereas the outlet you need for the adapter is Nema 14/50. i.e. 50amps instead of 30amps. I called Rick the Car Charger Guy who took his time explaining the differences and estimating that it would cost about $1,800 to run a 50amp cable from the breaker box (in my upstairs bedroom) to the garage. He suggested I get an adaptor for about $30 from Amazon which would work perfectly. I did, and it does. Charges from 50% to 100% in about six hours. Nevertheless, we like "tidy" and cables around the washing machine and loose on the floor don't jive with us. We called Jack back, and he and his able assistant came and moved the outlet to opposite the charging point on the car, attached the BMW charger (the one that comes with the car - no need to buy the $600 wall box) and did a first class job. See pics. Thank you Rick! read more

Car Charger Guy - Level 2 charger install - Electricians Near Me - Oceanside, California

We requested a quote from several companies to install our Tesla wall charger and Rick was the first one to respond. Not only was he very responsive but he provided knowledgeable answers to all of our questions. Rick showed up promptly at the designated time with all the tools and materials required. He did a great job situating the wall charger directly on the other side of the breaker panel and it ended up being conveniently located for either charging inside the garage or when parked outside. We asked him to install an exterior electrical outlet for our Christmas lights and he knew exactly where it should be mounted. He made it so professional looking and we are very happy about that as well. His fees were very reasonable and we intend to use him again when we will eventually be installing a security camera at the side of our house. We would very much recommend him for any electrical needs you might have. read more

Rick is incredible! First, he was very generous with his time, responding to our phone calls with helpful advice. When the problem turned out to be much more complicated than we imagined, he came out to the house and was able to install a 50 AMP 240V outlet for our Level 2 charger. To do this he had to improvise a solution to problems with our breaker panel that had been around, literally, for decades. His price was very reasonable and he seemed eager to keep the price down, actually charging less than he estimated before we found out how complicated the installation would be. This was the best experience I have had with an electrician in the 50 years since we bought the house. read more

What a refreshing experience. As a new electric vehicle owner I called The Charger Guy to assess my home charging challenges and was given straightforward options and solid advice. I wholeheartedly recommend. read more

I love my new/second ev but the manufacturer is not up to speed with AC charging and it was impossible to get in touch with anyone who could help. When the manufacturer's charger kept faulting the Car Charger Guy did major research, discussed troubleshooting options, then made a recommendation for an entirely new charger, installed the new/non manufacturer charger and didn't even charge me for a second install! Amazing! I am now charging at home like a dream. Thank you, Car Charger Guy! read more

Quick response and good work. Will keep this business card for future electrical projects.

Sometimes you get lucky and find a great contractor. I was lucky to find Rick. He is honest, professional, a pleasure to deal with, provides a fair price and is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to EV charging. I have a challenging situation living in a condo with a detached garage and an HOA with unrealistic expectations. Rick was happy to take the time to assess the situation and provide me with all the options available. Do yourself a favor and request a quote from Rick if you are looking to improve your EV charging situation. read more
