EV Charger Installation Roseville, CA | Level 2 & Tesla

The Roseville Electric charger rebate

Here's what Roseville Electric lists for its residential Level 2 charger rebate at the time of writing. Programs change, so we confirm the current terms before you buy.

$250 standard rebate, $500 income-qualified

The higher amount is for customers enrolled in Roseville Electric's Electric Rate Assistance or Medical Rate Assistance programs, and it's first come, first served while funds last. One rebate per household per calendar year.

The charger has to meet their specs

New, UL or ETL listed, wall or pedestal mounted, at least 32 amps, with a charging cable of at least 15 feet. Most name-brand hardwired chargers qualify. A basic portable cord plugged into a 240V outlet usually doesn't, so decide before you buy.

A permit is required, and there's a deadline

The install needs a City of Roseville building permit, and the application has to be postmarked within 90 days of purchase (120 days for the income-qualified rebate). We pull the permit and give you the paperwork you need to file.

Charging in a newer vs. an older Roseville home

How much work your install takes depends a lot on when your home was built.

Newer homes in West Roseville. California's green building code has required new single-family homes with a garage to be built "EV-capable" for several years, which means a raceway to the garage and a breaker space in the panel labeled "EV Capable". If your WestPark or Fiddyment Farm home has that label, the install is usually quick and affordable. We'll check the panel and the garage wall before quoting.

1980s and 1990s homes. Much of central and east Roseville was built during the boom years, with panels sized for that era. A 48-amp charger on top of central air, an electric dryer and a pool pump can be too much. A load calculation tells us whether a smaller charger, a load-management device or a panel upgrade is the right answer.

Older homes near downtown. Small services and detached garages are common. A longer run or a subpanel may be needed, and if the panel itself is due for replacement, it's cheaper to do both at once than to come back later.

What a rebate-ready Roseville install gets right

A hardwired or listed charger that meets the 32-amp and 15-foot-cable minimums
A circuit sized to your panel's real capacity, not a guess
A permit on file before you apply, with the purchase date inside the deadline
Charger placement that reaches the car's charge port without stretching the cable across the garage

Roseville EV charger FAQ

Do I need a permit to install an EV charger in Roseville?

Yes. The City of Roseville requires a building permit for a residential EV charger, and Roseville Electric's rebate requires one too. Home chargers qualify for the city's quick-permit track. We pull it and schedule the inspection.

Which chargers qualify for the Roseville Electric rebate?

At the time of writing: new, UL or ETL listed, wall or pedestal mounted, at least 32 amps, with at least a 15-foot cable. Most hardwired Level 2 chargers, including the Tesla Wall Connector, meet that. Check the utility's current terms before you buy, or ask us.

How long does an EV charger install take?

A typical garage install takes a few hours once the permit is issued. Longer runs, detached garages and installs that need a panel upgrade take longer, and we'll tell you up front.

Can I put the charger in my driveway instead of the garage?

Yes. Outdoor-rated chargers can go on an exterior wall or a pedestal. It usually costs more because of the longer run, and sometimes trenching, and it's still eligible for the rebate if the charger meets the specs.

My panel is full. Can I still get a charger?

Often, yes. Options include a load-management device, tandem breakers where the panel allows them, a subpanel, or a panel upgrade. We'll show you the cheapest safe option first.

I can't say enough good things about Sagan Electric. Andrey installed a Level 2 EV charger at my home in Sacramento and got the job done promptly and professionally. The work looks clean and neat, and the charger has worked perfectly from day one. What really stood out was their integrity. My original quote had expired by the time I was ready to move forward, and they honored it anyway without any hassle. They're also helping me through the SMUD rebate process, which made the whole project feel much less overwhelming. It's clear they care about their customers, not just the job.

Daniel’s team was super efficient with how they handled our job. Gave us a date, showed up on time and did what they said they would. Passed the inspection easy peasy.

This company was amazing! When I called, they answered, and tried to go over trouble shooting with me on the phone. When we were not able to fix the issue over the hone, they came out THE SAME DAY! Not only that, they helped me determine it must be the SMUD box and helped me call SMUD to get them out the SAME DAY too! 10/10
