Why homeowners install EV chargers in San Diego

A lot of EV owners start with a regular outlet and quickly realize it’s too slow. Overnight charging turns into all-day charging, especially with longer commutes or multiple vehicles.

At McKay Roofing and Solar, we see charger installs tied to new EV purchases, second vehicles, or solar upgrades. San Diego drivers want reliable home charging that doesn’t trip breakers or overload older panels.

What EV charger installation includes

EV charger installation starts with checking your electrical panel, available capacity, and where the charger should actually go. Not every garage or driveway setup works the same.

The install includes running dedicated wiring, installing the charger, and making sure everything meets code. If solar is part of the plan, we integrate charging with your solar installation so charging lines up better with energy production.

How long EV charger installation takes

Most EV charger installs are completed in one day. Some take just a few hours depending on panel access and wiring distance.

If a panel upgrade is needed, that adds time. We explain that early so expectations are clear. Rushing EV charger installs causes problems later, especially with older electrical systems.

EV charging and solar power

Many homeowners want their EV charger to run off solar as much as possible. That works well when systems are planned together instead of added separately over time.

We often install chargers alongside solar panel replacement or battery upgrades. Pairing charging with solar storage helps reduce grid use and keeps charging costs more predictable.

Roof and electrical considerations

EV chargers don’t sit on the roof, but the wiring paths still matter. Poorly planned conduit runs or penetrations can create issues, especially on tile roofs.

Because we handle roof repair and roof replacement too, we make sure charger installs don’t create roofing problems later. Electrical work shouldn’t compromise the roof underneath it.

EV chargers and older homes

Older San Diego homes weren’t built for EV charging. Panels may be undersized, grounding outdated, or space limited.

That doesn’t mean chargers can’t be installed. It just means the system needs to be evaluated properly before anything gets added. We walk through options instead of forcing an install that causes issues down the line.
