✅ What happens next?
A licensed electrician reviews your panel photos and details, then sends a refined estimate within 24 hours. No call center, no hard sell — just a clear plan.
🛡️ Licensed Review Promise: Your instant estimate is a ballpark. Within 24 hours a licensed electrician reviews your panel photos and sends your refined estimate — that’s the number we stand behind. If photos reveal something that changes the scope (undersized panel, etc.), we’ll explain it clearly so you can decide with full info.
Estimate Assumptions: This instant price assumes (1) your main electrical panel can accommodate the added load of an EV charger without load management, and (2) the customer is supplying a hardwired EV charger. If either assumption isn’t accurate, your finalized estimate will be sent within 24 hours after the electrician review.
