200A Panel & EV Charger — San Carlos
A San Carlos homeowner wanted a Tesla Wall Connector, but the original 100A panel was already maxed out. We upgraded to a 200A Eaton service, coordinated the PG&E meter swap, pulled the city permit, and ran a dedicated 60A EV circuit — powered back up the same afternoon.
- Before: Maxed-out 100A panel, no room for an EV circuit
- After: 200A Eaton service + dedicated 60A Tesla Wall Connector
- Timeline: Permit pulled, installed, and re-energized in one day
- Outcome: EV-ready, with headroom for a future heat pump
