Electrician recommendation for installing outlet and EVSE
Hi there -- we just purchased a new Nissan Leaf and are looking to have an electrician install a 240v outlet on the side of our house -- and potentially also install an EVSE. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Also, does anyone have any tips or suggestions about applying for permits for this type of work.
Thanks

Hey, we are in the process of installing solar and updating our whole house's electric, and getting the charging station for our E-Golf. We hired Green Air for the work and they've been incredible. The price is reasonable too - based on 2 quotes on the electric and 5 quotes on solar.

Good luck!
I suggest calling Fighting Amish Electric, and scheduling a (free) quote appointment as a first step. They can give you a better idea if permits would be required for the work (my guess would be yes).
We used them for our service upgrade, as well as a number of other projects, and have been really happy with the work.
John Merriman is the best! He replaced an electrical panel in our home and was great to deal with in every way. We have never owned a home before and were completely clueless - he helped me figure out weird old wiring in our house and was very patient with all my questions. His contact info is:

They are great but are in San Francisco.
You will need a Level 2 charger and the work has to be permitted. Our was done by Metin at Ally Electric and Solar and they pulled the permit.
