Do I need a permit for an EV charger?

Usually yes, as an electrical permit for the new circuit. Plug-in chargers on an existing outlet may not need one.

Do you do the electrical design?

No. Your electrician sizes the circuit. We draw the site plan showing where everything goes.

What about chargers at a business?

Commercial chargers add accessibility and parking rules. We show accessible spaces and routes on the site plan.

Can the plan include solar too?

Yes. If you’re adding both, one site plan can show the panels, charger and equipment together.
