EV Charger Installation in Los Gatos, CA
Los Gatos hillside properties bring two install challenges nobody talks about: long conduit runs (often 60–100 ft from panel to garage) and tricky terrain for exterior conduit. We've installed dozens of Tesla Wall Connectors and Universal chargers across the Los Gatos hills — sized correctly for voltage drop, permitted with the Town, and finished clean.

Hillside Los Gatos homes often have the panel on the street side and the garage 60–100 ft away — long conduit runs are the norm. We size the wire correctly for voltage drop and use rigid conduit for any exposed exterior runs.
