Dedicated EV Circuit Installation
Professional 240V dedicated circuit installation for EV chargers, hot tubs, and high-power appliances.
Why You Need a Dedicated Circuit
The NEC requires EV chargers to be on a dedicated circuit — meaning nothing else can share it. Sharing a circuit creates overload risk. A properly sized dedicated circuit ensures safe, full-speed charging every time.
Circuit Options
NEMA 14-50 Outlet
240V, 50-amp outlet. Lets you easily unplug and swap chargers. Universal compatibility.
Hardwired Connection
Permanent wiring direct to charger. Cleaner look, required by some chargers at higher amperages.
