What's Driving EV Charger Installation Demand in California
A record 29.1% of new vehicles sold in California in the third quarter of 2025 were fully battery-electric, one of the highest EV adoption rates of any state in the country. Every one of those vehicles eventually needs a place to charge at home, and installing a Level 2 charger means evaluating whether the existing panel has the capacity to support it, running a dedicated circuit, and in older homes, sometimes upgrading service before the charger can go in at all. With EV sales continuing to climb well ahead of most other states, home EV charger installation has become one of the more consistently requested electrical services in California, spanning both brand-new construction and older homes catching up to demand.
Licensing in California: California requires anyone contracting electrical work above minor threshold amounts to hold a C-10 Electrical Contractor license issued by the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). Qualifying requires at least four years of journey-level electrical experience within the past ten years — a relevant college degree or approved apprenticeship can substitute for up to three of those years — plus passing both the C-10 trade exam, which covers the National Electrical Code, grounding and bonding, and solar PV systems, and a separate Law & Business exam, with a minimum score of 72% on each. Licensees must keep a $15,000 contractor's bond on file with CSLB, plus an additional $12,500 bond for a qualifying individual who isn't an owner, and carry workers' compensation insurance if they have employees.
