Certified by Tesla Energy for Wall Connector and Powerwall

Certified to install the Tesla Wall Connector and Universal Wall Connector to Tesla Energy standards — correct conductor sizing, commissioning through the Tesla app, Wi-Fi setup, firmware updates, and Power Sharing configuration for multi-vehicle sites.

Powerwall Certified Installer

Certified for Tesla Powerwall home battery installations — whole-home backup, Backup Gateway integration, solar coordination, and Charge on Solar setup so your Tesla charges from excess solar production automatically.

About LED Guys

Your Local EV Charger Installer — Based in Van Nuys, Serving All of LA

When you search for EV charger installation near you, the result you want is a licensed electrician who actually covers your neighborhood, pulls the right permit for your city, and shows up on time. LED Guys is based at 6641 Kester Ave in Van Nuys — 20 to 30 minutes from almost everywhere in the San Fernando Valley, Hollywood, and the Westside.

Every installation begins with a free NEC Article 220 load calculation to confirm your panel can support the new circuit. If your panel needs a 200A upgrade first, we handle both in the same project — one crew, one permit application, one inspection, with full utility coordination. No second contractor, no scheduling gaps.

Jorge personally oversees every job. We do not subcontract. We do not start any work without the permit in hand. And we install chargers for every EV brand on the road — Tesla, Ford, Rivian, GM, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, and all others.

Permit Authority — Every City in Our Service Area

Permit authority depends on where you live: City of Los Angeles addresses go through LADBS. Burbank residents use the City of Burbank Building Division. Glendale goes through the City of Glendale Community Development. Pasadena uses the City of Pasadena Building and Safety. Santa Clarita uses the City of Santa Clarita Building Division. Unincorporated LA County areas use LA County Building & Safety. LED Guys identifies the correct authority for your address and handles the entire permit process — application, plan review, issuance, and final inspection sign-off.

Charging Options Explained

Level 1 vs Level 2 EV Charging — Which Is Right for Your Home?

Understanding the difference before you install saves money and frustration. Here is the honest breakdown.

Level 1 — 120V Standard Outlet

Speed: 3–5 miles of range per hour of charging
Equipment: Uses standard household outlet — no new wiring required
Best for: Drivers with short daily commutes under 30 miles, secondary vehicles, or renters
Overnight charge restores 30–40 miles — sufficient for light daily use

Level 2 — 240V Dedicated Circuit

Speed: 20–60 miles of range per hour of charging
Equipment: Requires dedicated 240V circuit — NEMA 14-50 outlet or hardwired unit
Best for: Daily drivers, long LA commuters, households with 2+ EVs, anyone who wants a full charge every morning
Cost: Varies by panel capacity, run length, and installation method — written quote provided
Overnight charge restores 150–350+ miles — full charge for nearly all EV models

Installation Method

NEMA 14-50 Outlet vs Hardwired — What Jorge Recommends

Both are code-compliant. The right choice depends on your situation and how long you plan to stay.

NEMA 14-50 GFCI Outlet

How it works: A dedicated 240V, 4-prong outlet is installed in your garage or exterior wall. Your charger plugs in like an appliance.
Max output: 40A continuous (50A circuit with GFCI protection per NEC code)
Pros: Charger is portable — take it with you if you move or upgrade vehicles
Cons: Plug connection can wear over time. GFCI breakers required by code can cause nuisance tripping on some charger models.
Who it is for: Renters, homeowners planning to move within 3–5 years, budget-conscious installs

"We install GFCI-rated 14-50 outlets correctly every time — and we select breakers that eliminate nuisance tripping issues." — Jorge

Hardwired Direct Connection

How it works: The charger is permanently wired directly to your electrical panel — no plug, no outlet. Sealed conduit run to charger mounting location.
Max output: 48A–80A depending on panel capacity and charger model
Pros: Cleanest, safest installation. Fastest possible charge rate. No connection point to wear out. Preferred by major charger manufacturers and building inspectors.
Cons: Charger cannot be unplugged and relocated without an electrician.
Who it is for: Homeowners staying long-term, anyone wanting maximum speed, multi-EV households, ADUs with dedicated panels

"For most homeowners, we recommend hardwired — it is cleaner, faster, and holds up better over years of daily use." — Jorge

LED Guys installs all major brands and helps you select the right unit for your panel, vehicle, and budget.

Not sure which brand is right for your vehicle and panel? Jorge will assess your setup during the written quote and recommend the best option for your budget and charging needs. No upsells, no pressure.

Compatibility

Tesla Chargers Work With Other Cars

Tesla's charging connector — NACS — is now the North American charging standard, published as SAE J3400 and adopted across the auto industry. A Tesla charger installed at your home is no longer just for Teslas: nearly every major automaker has joined the standard.

One charger for every EV in your garage

The Tesla Universal Wall Connector charges any EV out of the box — full 48A NACS charging for Teslas plus a built-in J1772 connector for everything else. The standard Wall Connector charges Teslas natively; NACS-equipped models from other brands plug straight in with no adapter at all.

The same applies to a NEMA 14-50 outlet: it powers the Tesla Mobile Connector today and any other brand's plug-in charger tomorrow. Jorge confirms connector compatibility for every vehicle in your household during the written quote — before you buy any equipment.

Automakers on the NACS standard

The following manufacturers have adopted NACS — via a manufacturer-provided adapter, or with no adapter on newer NACS-equipped models:

Acura · Audi · BMW · Ford · General Motors · Genesis · Honda · Hyundai · JLR · Kia · Lucid · Mercedes-Benz · Nissan · Polestar · Porsche · Rivian · Stellantis · Subaru · Toyota · Volkswagen · Volvo

Commercial

Commercial EV Charger Installation Near You in Los Angeles

With millions of EV drivers on LA roads, on-site charging brings more visitors, tenants, and employees to your property. LED Guys installs commercial Level 2 charging throughout the area — including Tesla's Wall Connector for Business program.

Apartments

Keep and attract tenants with overnight access to on-site charging — the amenity LA renters with EVs now search for first.

Workplaces

Give employees a place to charge during the workday and support your company's sustainability goals.

Hospitality

Offer charging to short- and long-term guests — a deciding factor for EV drivers choosing where to stay.

Fleet

Keep your electric fleet charged and ready with dedicated, load-managed charging positions.

Retail

Attract customers who shop while they charge — and stay longer because of it.

Engineered for multi-unit sites

Commercial installations are engineered differently than a single-home charger: Power Sharing lets up to six Wall Connectors intelligently share one circuit, load management protects your building's electrical capacity, and multi-unit conduit runs and subpanels are designed to your site.

LED Guys handles the full commercial scope — NEC load calculations, permits for your city, utility coordination, installation, and commissioning. Call for a commercial site assessment.

Common Questions

What Los Angeles EV Owners Ask Before They Call

Do you actually serve my neighborhood?

If you are in Los Angeles County, almost certainly yes. LED Guys covers the full San Fernando Valley, Hollywood, the Westside, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Santa Clarita, and surrounding areas. Call (818) 588-7819 and Jorge will confirm your address in under a minute.

How quickly can I get scheduled near me?

Same-day estimates in most cases. Permit approval takes 1 to 3 business days for most residential installs. The physical installation is 2 to 4 hours once the permit is in hand. Most customers are fully installed and charging within one week of their first call.

Will my electrical panel handle a Level 2 charger?

A Level 2 charger needs a dedicated 40 to 60A circuit. Jorge performs a free NEC Article 220 load calculation at every estimate visit. If a 200A panel upgrade is needed first, we handle both in the same project — one crew, one permit application, one inspection.

Do you pull permits in cities near me, not just Los Angeles?

Yes. We submit to LADBS for City of LA addresses, and to the correct building department for every independent city in our service area — Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Santa Clarita, Calabasas, and others. We never start work without the permit in hand.

Can you install chargers for my Tesla and my spouse's Ford?

Yes. As a Tesla Energy Certified Installer we commission Wall Connectors in the Tesla app. For all J1772 and NACS vehicles from other automakers, we install ChargePoint, Emporia, Autel, Grizzl-E, or the Tesla Universal Wall Connector with its built-in J1772 port — one charger that works for every brand.

What does EV charger installation cost near me?

Panel upgrades are quoted separately. Every quote is written, and itemized — no surprise costs.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions — EV Charger Installation Near Me

What areas near me does LED Guys serve for EV charger installation?

LED Guys is based in Van Nuys and serves the entire San Fernando Valley — Sherman Oaks, Woodland Hills, Encino, Chatsworth, Northridge, Reseda, Tarzana, Porter Ranch, Canoga Park, North Hills, Granada Hills, Sylmar, Winnetka, Mission Hills, North Hollywood, Studio City, and more — as well as Hollywood, West Hollywood, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Altadena, La Canada Flintridge, Santa Clarita, and the Westside. If you are in Los Angeles County, call (818) 588-7819 and Jorge will confirm coverage at your address.

How quickly can LED Guys install an EV charger near me?

Jorge provides same-day written quotes in most cases. Permit approval through LADBS typically takes 1 to 3 business days for a residential EV charger installation. Independent cities like Burbank and Pasadena have their own timelines, generally similar. The physical installation itself takes 2 to 4 hours once the permit is in hand. Most customers are fully installed and charging within one week of their first call.

Do you pull permits in cities near me, not just the City of Los Angeles?

Yes. LED Guys handles permit applications in every jurisdiction where we work. EV charger installations in the City of Los Angeles go through LADBS under NEC Article 625. Independent cities in our service area — Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Santa Clarita, Calabasas, and others — each have their own building departments, and we submit to the correct authority for every job. We do not begin any work until the permit is approved and in hand.

Do I need to supply my own EV charger, or can you provide it?

Either works. Many customers already own a charger from their vehicle manufacturer or have purchased one independently — we install it. If you have not yet selected a charger, Jorge will recommend the right brand and model for your vehicle, panel capacity, and budget during the written quote visit. We install all major brands: Tesla, ChargePoint, Emporia, Autel, Grizzl-E, JuiceBox, Wallbox, and more.

How much does EV charger installation cost near me in Los Angeles?

Cost depends on the distance from your panel to the charger location, whether conduit must run through walls or along exterior surfaces, whether a panel upgrade is needed, and the charger model. Panel upgrades are quoted separately. LED Guys provides a written quote with itemized costs before any work begins.

Can you install chargers for any EV brand near me, or just Tesla?

LED Guys installs chargers for all electric vehicle brands. As a Tesla Energy Certified Installer, Jorge commissions Tesla Wall Connectors correctly in the Tesla app with Power Sharing and Wi-Fi setup. For all other brands — Ford, Rivian, GM, BMW, Hyundai, Kia, Audi, Volvo, and every other automaker — we install the appropriate J1772 or NACS charger to the same permitted standard. Jorge confirms connector compatibility for every vehicle in your household during the written quote.

What panel capacity do I need for a Level 2 EV charger near me?

A Level 2 charger running at 40 to 48A requires a dedicated 50 to 60A circuit with sufficient headroom in your electrical panel after existing loads are accounted for. Most homes with a 200A main panel have enough capacity. Many pre-1990 Los Angeles homes still run 100A or 125A panels and may need a service upgrade first. LED Guys performs a free NEC Article 220 load calculation at every estimate visit — we tell you exactly what your panel can support before any work is proposed.
