How to Prepare Your Home for an EV Charger on Kauaʻi

Learn how to get your Kauaʻi home EV-ready with tips from a licensed electrical contractor.

With more electric vehicles hitting Kauaʻi’s roads every year, homeowners are looking for convenient, cost-effective charging solutions at home. Here’s how to prepare:

1. Check Your Electrical Panel Capacity

Level 2 chargers draw more power than standard outlets. We’ll perform a load calculation to ensure your panel can handle it — and upgrade if necessary.

2. Choose the Right Location

Garage or covered carport installs are ideal. If that’s not possible, we can design weatherproof outdoor setups that meet Hawaiʻi’s climate challenges.

3. Pick Your Charger

From Tesla Powerwall Connectors to universal chargers, we’ll recommend models based on your car type and usage.

4. Plan for Future Expansion

Thinking about solar or battery storage? We can wire your system for seamless integration later.
