As electric vehicle (EV) adoption surges across Los Angeles and surrounding areas, many homeowners are transitioning from their first electric car to a two-EV household. With this transition comes the challenge of residential dual EV charger installation to accommodate charging multiple electric vehicles at home efficiently.
LA Pro Electrical specializes in turn-key EV charging solutions, helping residents in Los Angeles, Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, Santa Monica, Long Beach, and the Inland Empire future-proof their homes for multiple electric cars.
Homeowners often ask, “Do I need to upgrade my panel for two EV chargers?”. The answer depends on several factors:
Existing Panel Capacity: Older homes often have 100-amp panels that struggle to handle two Level 2 chargers, plus household appliances.
High-Power Charging: Vehicles like Tesla Model S, Rivian R1T, or Ford F-150 Lightning may require more power, increasing the need for panel upgrades.
Load Sharing vs. Dedicated Circuits: Modern chargers like the Tesla Wall Connector and ChargePoint Home Flex support load sharing, enabling two EV chargers to share power from a single circuit, but this isn’t always sufficient for larger households or faster charging speeds.
You experience frequent breaker trips.
Your home still has a 100-amp panel.
You are installing two Level 2 chargers.
You plan to add more high-powered appliances, like air conditioning units or solar systems.
You are preparing your home for future EV expansion.
How is a Panel Upgrade Performed?
Assessment: Our licensed electricians evaluate your home’s power capacity and discuss your EV charging needs.
Permit Handling: We secure permits from your local city authorities in Los Angeles County and beyond.
Service Upgrade: We upgrade your electrical service to 200 amps or 400 amps, ensuring you have the power to support dual chargers and other home upgrades.
Final Inspection: Our team ensures your upgraded panel is compliant with local codes, keeping your home safe and future-ready.
Whether you have a spacious two-car garage or a driveway with multiple vehicles, we tailor the installation to fit your property layout. Common setups include:
Two EV Chargers in One Garage with dual wall-mounted units.
Driveway Charging Stations for side-by-side parking setups.
Dual Outlet EV Charger Installation to allow plugging in two vehicles from a shared circuit.
Detached Garages & Carports – Custom trenching and conduit work for outdoor EV charging solutions.
How Do You Install a Second Charger?
Evaluate Existing Setup: We inspect your current charger and electrical panel.
Determine Load Capacity: We assess whether panel upgrades or load-sharing chargers are required.
Install a Second Circuit or Use Load Sharing: Depending on your needs, we install a second dedicated circuit or configure load-sharing systems like Tesla’s Power Sharing feature.
