Neighborhoods We Serve in Northridge
From the university-area streets off Nordhoff and Prairie near CSUN to the residential tracts along Tampa, Balboa, and Devonshire — LED Guys installs EV chargers throughout Northridge 91324 and 91325, including homes north toward Porter Ranch and west toward Chatsworth.
Northridge’s Tesla, ChargePoint & Enphase Certified EV Installer
Northridge is built for EV charging. The neighborhood’s housing stock — much of it rebuilt or substantially upgraded after the 1994 earthquake — means the majority of homes arrived with 200-amp service panels, attached two-car garages, and short conduit runs from the electrical panel to the garage wall. That combination makes hardwired Level 2 installations straightforward and often allows the full 48A output that modern EVs charge fastest on, without a panel upgrade.
LED Guys is a Tesla Energy Certified Installer for both the Tesla Wall Connector Gen 3 and the Tesla Powerwall. Jorge is also a ChargePoint-authorized installer for the Home Flex (CPH50) and an Enphase Certified Installer for the IQ EV Charger. If you have — or plan to add — an Enphase solar system at your Northridge home, the IQ EV Charger lets your car charge from rooftop solar production before drawing from the LADWP grid. Every installation is permitted through LADBS (City of Los Angeles) under NEC Article 625 and inspected before job completion.
Jorge operates without subcontractors — every Northridge EV charger installation is completed personally. For homeowners near CSUN or in multi-unit rental properties on Nordhoff or Prairie, Jorge performs a NEC Article 220 panel assessment during the on-site visit to confirm your panel can support the added load before a quote is issued. No commitment required for the assessment, and the written quote covers permits, materials, and labor with no surprise add-ons.
Federal 30C Tax Credit & LADWP Rebate Assistance
Northridge homeowners may qualify for the federal 30C Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit — 30% of qualified installation costs for residential installations. As a LADWP service-area property, qualifying Level 2 installations in Northridge may also be eligible for LADWP EV charger rebates. LED Guys handles all LADWP rebate paperwork at no charge. Ask Jorge for details when you request your written quote.
Permit Authority: LADBS (City of Los Angeles) — NEC Article 625
Northridge is a neighborhood within the City of Los Angeles. All EV charger installations require a permit through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) per NEC Article 625. LED Guys submits the permit application through the LADBS ePlan system, pays the permit fee, and schedules the final inspection — all included in your written quote with no extra paperwork fees.

How EV Charger Installation Works in Northridge
On-Site Written Quote
Jorge visits your Northridge property, performs a NEC Article 220 panel assessment to confirm your panel supports the circuit, and measures the conduit run from your panel to the garage. You receive a written itemized quote before any work begins. No commitment required.
Permit Submission
LED Guys submits the EV charger permit application through the LADBS ePlan system, pays the permit fee, and tracks the application. Most Northridge residential EV permits are approved within one to five business days. No action required from you during this step.
Installation Day
Jorge runs the dedicated 240V circuit from your panel to the charger location, mounts the charger or NEMA 14-50 outlet, and tests the installation end-to-end. No subcontractors — the same person who quoted the job does the installation. Most residential installs finish in two to four hours.
Inspection & Sign-Off
We schedule the final inspection with LADBS and are on-site when the City of Los Angeles inspector arrives. The job is complete only when the permit is signed off and closed. After inspection, Jorge submits your LADWP rebate application if your installation qualifies.
Check if Your Northridge Panel Supports Level 2 Charging
Not sure whether your electrical panel has room for a 50A or 60A EV circuit? Use our online home electrical load calculator to estimate your available panel capacity before your appointment. Takes about two minutes.
Check Panel Capacity →The calculator provides an estimate only. Jorge performs a full NEC Article 220 panel assessment during the on-site visit before any work begins.

Tesla, ChargePoint & Enphase — What Each Certification Means for Northridge Homeowners
Tesla Wall Connector & Powerwall
Wall Connector Gen 3 · Up to 48A · HardwiredLED Guys is a Tesla Energy Certified Installer, which means Jorge has completed Tesla’s installer training program and meets Tesla’s requirements for Wall Connector and Powerwall installations. Certified installers appear in Tesla’s installer directory and can register your Wall Connector directly in the Tesla app during the appointment — so you leave the job site with full remote visibility and charge scheduling active.
The Wall Connector Gen 3 supports up to 48A output for non-Tesla EVs via J1772 and delivers up to 44 miles of range per hour for Tesla vehicles. A single circuit can support two Wall Connectors via Tesla’s Power Sharing feature if you have two EVs. Available in black or white, surface-mounted to your garage wall with conduit run to the panel.
ChargePoint Home Flex
Model CPH50 · 16–50A Adjustable · All EVsAs a ChargePoint-authorized installer, Jorge configures the CPH50 and connects it to your ChargePoint account during installation. The Home Flex stands out because its amperage is adjustable from 16A to 50A without any tools — simply use the ChargePoint app to dial it back if you later add other high-draw appliances to your panel. No monthly subscription is required for residential use.
The ChargePoint Home Flex works with every EV on the market, including Tesla via J1772 adapter, Ford, Chevrolet, Rivian, Lucid, BMW, Hyundai, Kia, and others. It is ENERGY STAR certified, supports both NEMA 14-50 and hardwired installations, and includes Wi-Fi scheduling and energy use tracking through the ChargePoint app.
Enphase IQ EV Charger
Level 2 · 240V Hardwired · Solar IntegrationThe Enphase IQ EV Charger is Enphase’s residential Level 2 solution, rated at 7.7kW (32A) and designed to communicate directly with an Enphase IQ Gateway. If your Northridge home already has Enphase solar panels and an IQ Battery, the IQ EV Charger lets you set a solar-priority charging mode: the car charges from what your roof produces during the day before drawing any power from LADWP.
LED Guys is an Enphase Certified Installer. Jorge installs and commissions the IQ EV Charger, configures it in the Enphase Enlighten app, and sets up the charge scheduling profile. The charger and solar generation data appear together in a single dashboard — so you can see exactly how much of your charging cost is covered by your panels.
All three brands are compatible with LADBS permits in the City of Los Angeles. Jorge installs, mounts, and configures each charger during a single appointment — permits, wiring, and charger setup are all included in the written quote with no separate line items for certification or account activation.
