See exactly what the standard covers — and what anything beyond it costs, published the same way.

New-build north side, established in-town grid

North Merced's newer subdivisions — the Bellevue Ranch growth area and around the university — mostly carry 200-amp panels, so a Level 2 install is typically one clean visit. In-town, the housing stock is older and panels run smaller; those homes get the free load calculation and a straight answer on whether a charger fits as-is, needs load management, or justifies an upgrade, quoted before anything is scheduled.

Merced drivers log serious commute miles — Highway 99 and 140 run in every direction — which is exactly the driving pattern home charging pays for fastest. Most of Merced is PG&E (some outlying addresses are Merced Irrigation District); either way, overnight charging on an off-peak EV rate undercuts gasoline and public charging by a wide margin, and we program your charger's schedule for those hours during the install.
