As long as he has license in VA, he should be fine. Pay cash but insist on a receipt with his license info on it?

OP here. We are not in VA. No state tax benefit.

How do they know you just aren't charging it in a regular plug? Just wondering. A friend charges his Volt in a normal plug.


You can charge in 110V, but holy hell, it takes forever.

I think there’s a state tax refund for the car and another for the charging station.

OP here. The guy is an electrician. We would buy the parts (not buying the high end charger just need a new outlet put in). He just doesn't pull permits.

Any master electrician should be able to do this. Just order the charger direct from Tesla - ours arrived in a few days & I used our regular electrician company (professional electric in Alexandria). We were their third or 4th install for the month.

Well let's say he or she cuts corners not only does the house get ruined so does the car.

We had an electrician do it. We bought the wall charger ourself so he just set up the new circuit and installed it.

Nope. DH is absurdly handy and DIY, and he insisted on a master electrician for our EV home charger. He did outstanding work.

I would want licenced/bonded/permitted, but to each their own.

Too much of a liability for me

We emailed a bunch of people from Tesla's website to get estimates for setting up a 240V outlet in the garage for charging. One guy candidly admitted that he has his own side business, cash only on weekends--it is not permitted. He is obviously significantly cheaper than the others. He does the same work during the week for a company. What do you think--too much of a liability or no big deal? Thanks.
