Reviews
James at Spark Right installed our Tesla Wall Connector Gen 3 in our attached garage. He assessed our panel (100A), confirmed we had enough capacity, ran the 60A circuit cleanly through the wall with zero visible conduit in the living space. Tesla app recognized the charger immediately. Same-day permit filed, passed EPCOR inspection first try. Fast, clean, and knowledgeable. Worth every penny.
Spark Right installed our ChargePoint Home Flex in our condo parkade. It was a tricky job — needed condo board approval documents and a load study for the shared electrical system. James handled all the paperwork and got it approved. Install was clean and professional. Took 2 visits instead of 1 due to the condo complexity, but James communicated well throughout.
We bought a Rivian R2 and needed a Level 2 charger ASAP. Spark Right installed a Grizzl-E smart charger with a 50A circuit in 4 hours. James helped us claim the federal rebate — we got $600 back. He also programmed the charger’s off-peak charging schedule to save on electricity. Super impressed with the technical knowledge and efficiency.
Panel upgrade from 100A to 200A AND EV charger installation done in one visit. James planned both jobs together which saved us $800 vs doing them separately. He installed a JuiceBox 48 with Wi-Fi and the app works flawlessly. Completed in 8 hours, fully permitted and inspected. We now charge 2 vehicles overnight for less than $3. Exceptional value
