Electric vehicles are no longer tomorrow’s concept—they are today’s driveway reality across Sacramento. Homeowners who install EV chargers gain daily convenience, higher property value, and a cleaner carbon footprint. CountBricks is the residential construction partner equipped to make that upgrade seamless. From AI-powered estimating to final inspection, our process cuts guesswork, cost overruns, and delays.
California incentives and local utility rebates drastically lower out-of-pocket costs, but paperwork can feel endless. CountBricks auto-populates your rebate forms and includes them in your project packet.
Grid resiliency concerns have sparked demand for at-home charging paired with solar or battery storage. Our residential construction team designs compatible infrastructure so you can expand later without rewiring.
Resale premiums are rising for listings that already have Level 2 charging. Realtors report buyers willing to pay thousands more when charging is turnkey.
1. Voice-based site walk-through: Using the CountBricks mobile app, you narrate amperage, panel location, and desired charger position while streaming video. The AI converts that data into a preliminary takeoff in minutes.
2. Instant estimate generation: Material pricing, permit fees, and labor hours update in real time from the CountBricks database, producing an itemized cost sheet you can approve on the spot.
3. Permit and utility coordination: Our project team submits digital drawings, load calculations, and Title 24 documents directly to Sacramento Building Division.
4. Installation day: A licensed CountBricks electrician mounts the charger, upgrades breakers if required, and performs load balancing to keep household circuits safe.
5. Final inspection & documentation: We schedule city inspection, upload sign-offs to your client portal, and send you a rebate-ready package.
• Level 1 (120V) uses a standard wall outlet—great for plug-in hybrids but painfully slow for pure EVs.
• Level 2 (240V, 30-60A) adds 25-35 miles of range per hour and is the standard for residential installs.
• Level 3 (DC Fast) starts at 400V and is rarely feasible for homes due to transformer upgrades and utility approvals.
CountBricks typically recommends a Level 2 charger on a dedicated 40- or 60-amp circuit, balancing speed with panel capacity and future EV models.
Panel capacity – A 200-amp panel usually supports a Level 2 circuit without issue, while older 100-amp panels may need a service upgrade.
Cable run length – Every additional foot of conduit and wire raises material and labor cost. Our AI takeoff calculates exact footage from your video walk-through.
Wall type – Stucco, brick, or interior drywall each require different mounting hardware and labor duration.
Permitting fees – Sacramento County charges vary by jurisdiction; CountBricks updates these fees automatically.
• Simple Level 2 install (< 30 ft run, modern panel): $1,050 – $1,450
• Moderate complexity (panel upgrade or 50-80 ft run): $2,000 – $3,400
• Panel replacement & sub-panel addition: $3,800 – $5,500
Our live material feed ensures today’s copper pricing, not last quarter’s estimate.

Many Sacramento homeowners install EV chargers alongside solar arrays, battery storage, or service-panel upgrades. CountBricks’ multidisciplinary team coordinates all scopes under one contract, so you avoid finger-pointing between trades.

Sacramento follows the California Electrical Code, requiring:
• Dedicated circuit sized to 125% of charger continuous load
• GFCI protection for receptacles in garages and outdoors
• Load calculations if service exceeds 80% capacity
CountBricks handles these code checks before plans are submitted, eliminating costly redlines.

“The CountBricks dashboard felt like tracking a food delivery, not a construction project. I knew when permits cleared, when the electrician was en route, and when my rebate forms were ready.”
• Schedule installation before peak summer—ambient heat can extend charger cooling cycles and affect performance.
• Ask CountBricks to oversize conduit by one trade size; futureproofing costs pennies now and saves ripping drywall later.
• Pair charging with LED lighting upgrades to offset additional electrical load.
