EV Charger Installation in Tacoma, WA

EVITP-Certified & Tesla Certified Installers Serving the Greater Puget Sound

Most electricians can wire an outlet. Fewer hold credentials built specifically around EV charging technology. Fuller Electric is both EVITP (Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program) certified and a Tesla Certified Installer, a combination that reflects genuine depth in residential EV charger installation, not a service added as an afterthought. We’re a family-owned, woman-owned company that’s served Federal Way and the Greater Puget Sound since 1990, and we bring that same licensed, insured team to Tacoma homeowners every day.

We’re also a Qmerit platform partner, so Tacoma residents who find us through their EV manufacturer’s installer network are getting a team that’s been doing this work long before home EV charging was common. We install chargers for every major EV make and model and handle every step from the initial circuit assessment through the final walkthrough.

Why Tacoma Homeowners Choose Fuller Electric

In 2024, Seattle Times readers voted us First Place, People’s Choice for Best Electrical Service in the PNW. It was the second consecutive year we’ve earned that recognition. Expertise.com also named us among the best electricians in the region in 2025. Those awards reflect what our customers already know: we show up on time, communicate clearly, and leave the job site clean.

Every installation is backed by our workmanship warranty. If upfront cost is a concern, our Affordability Plan lets you spread the cost of your electric car charger installation over time. Same-day service is available when your schedule calls for it.

Level 1 vs. Level 2 EV Chargers: Which Do You Need?

The right charger depends on how far you drive daily and how long your vehicle sits parked. Here’s how the two main options compare.

Level 1 Charging

Level 1 chargers plug into a standard 120V household outlet and add approximately 3 to 5 miles of range per hour. That works for low-mileage drivers or as a top-up option for a second EV, but overnight charging may not fully replenish a larger battery pack.

Level 2 Charging

Level 2 chargers require a dedicated 240V circuit, typically rated at 40 to 48 amps, and add roughly 25 to 40 miles of range per hour. That’s enough for most daily drivers to wake up to a full charge. Washington state code mandates a dedicated 208/240V branch circuit for EV-ready spaces, so Level 2 installation includes proper circuit planning, correct gauge wiring, and GFCI protection where code requires it.

Charger units come in two main configurations: hardwired and plug-in (such as a NEMA 14-50 outlet). The right choice depends on your vehicle manufacturer’s guidance and local code requirements. For most Tacoma homeowners driving daily, a Level 2 home charging station is the practical answer.

Electric Car Charger Installation for Every EV Make & Model

We install EV chargers for Tesla, Chevy Bolt, Kia Soul EV, Nissan Leaf, Honda Clarity, BMW i3, and every other major make and model on the road today. Before any work begins, our licensed electricians inspect your home’s existing circuits and calculate the load to confirm your panel can support the added demand. If it can’t, we handle the electrical panel upgrade as part of the same project. There’s no gap in your installation and no second scheduling call.

The distance from your panel to your preferred charger location, your parking layout, and cord reach all factor into how we plan the dedicated circuit. We work through all of it upfront so there are no surprises on installation day.

We also install EV chargers in apartments, condos, and townhomes, coordinating directly with property management to keep the work code-compliant and the process straightforward. If you’re in a multi-unit property, see our dedicated EV chargers for condos and apartments page for details specific to that installation type.

Tacoma Power Rebates & Affordability Plan Options

Tacoma Power (Tacoma Public Utilities) offers residential customers bill credits for installing qualifying Level 2 EV charging equipment. Credits may be available for a Level 2 charger, a smart splitter, or a 240-volt outlet installation, subject to a maximum bill credit per installation. Program terms, amounts, and eligibility requirements are set by Tacoma Power and can change, so confirm current details directly with Tacoma Power before purchasing equipment. Customers are typically required to purchase and install equipment first, then apply with documentation including photos and invoices.

If the rebate timeline or upfront cost is a concern, our Affordability Plan lets you spread your installation costs over time. Call us to talk through what’s available and how to structure your project.

What to Expect During Your EV Charger Installation

Here’s how a typical residential installation with our team unfolds, from first visit to final walkthrough.

Panel and service assessment: We inspect your electrical panel, confirm service capacity, and run load calculations to determine whether your current setup can support a dedicated EV charging circuit.
Circuit and placement planning: We identify the best charger location based on your parking layout, cord reach, and panel position, then plan the dedicated circuit route accordingly.
Permit acquisition: We pull all required permits with the City of Tacoma before work begins, ensuring the installation meets NEC standards and local jurisdiction requirements.
Dedicated circuit installation: Our electricians run the 240V circuit, install the electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), and complete any panel work included in the scope.
Post-installation walkthrough: Before we leave, we walk you through how the system operates, answer any questions, and confirm everything is functioning correctly.

You can help speed things along by clearing access to your electrical panel and garage area before installation day. Beyond that, we handle the rest.
