Real reviews from homeowners and businesses near you.

Yelp
Twin Cities EV Services sent a detailed written scope with fixed pricing before anything started. The charger is on a dedicated 50A circuit and my Rivian charges overnight without issue. They flagged older wiring without pressure.

Older home, tight garage, panel in the basement. They routed conduit through the rim joist to keep it hidden. Clean install and the inspector had zero notes. That says a lot.

Dan R.

Angi
Needed both a charger install and some knob-and-tube removal near the panel. They handled both in the same visit and pulled one combined permit. Efficient approach that saved us time and money.

They arrived on time, laid drop cloths, and cleaned up every scrap of wire and packaging when done. The work is solid and the experience was easy. Already recommended them to a neighbor.
