Newport Beach electrical contractor Pelican Coast Electric installs Level 2 home EV chargers across Orange County and handles the city permit and final inspection on every job. The county had 260,833 zero-emission vehicles registered at the end of 2025, according to the California Energy Commission.
Newport Beach, California, United States, 13th Oct 2026 – Newport Beach, California, United States, October 12, 2026. Pelican Coast Electric, a licensed electrical contractor in Newport Beach, installs Level 2 home EV chargers across Orange County, from the first site visit through the city permit and the final inspection. The work is tied to a fast-growing number of local drivers. The California Energy Commission counted 260,833 zero-emission vehicles registered in Orange County at the end of 2025, up 16.6% from a year earlier and more than three times the 2020 count.
“Most people drive the car home and plug it into a regular garage outlet,” said Austin Torres, owner of Pelican Coast Electric. “That works for a week or two. Then they figure out a standard outlet adds a few miles of range an hour, and they want to wake up to a full battery. That means a 240-volt circuit, and in Orange County that’s a permitted job.”
Pelican Coast Electric’s home market runs ahead of the county. In the six ZIP codes that cover Newport Beach, Corona del Mar and Newport Coast, about one in six cars and light trucks registered at the end of 2025 was zero-emission, compared with 10.6% countywide.
How Pelican Coast Electric installs a home charger
Every EV charger installation starts with a free site assessment and a written estimate. A Pelican Coast Electric electrician checks where the car parks, measures how far the wire has to run, and runs a load analysis on the electrical panel. The company then recommends either a hardwired Level 2 charger or a 240-volt outlet.
If the panel doesn’t have the capacity, Pelican Coast Electric upgrades it as part of the same job. The company’s guide to panel upgrades for EV chargers explains how homeowners can tell ahead of time.
Pelican Coast Electric pulls the permit with the city, does the install, and schedules the inspection. The permit and inspection are included in the job. Most residential installs take four to eight hours, and a job that needs a panel upgrade can run to a second day.
“We pull the permit on every charger we put in,” Torres said. “The inspector signs off on the work, and there’s a record of it at the city.”
Homeowners who want to know what their city requires can read the company’s guide on whether you need a permit to install an EV charger.
“You want to plug in at night in your own garage and forget about it,” Torres said. “Our job is to make that circuit safe, permitted and ready the day we leave.”
