Call (877) 550-6892 and a live person, not a voicemail, picks up.
Why Gus’s Solar Is Roanoke’s Preferred EV Charger Installation Company
Gus Petrakis founded this company in 2011 and still answers his own phone. That matters in Roanoke, where homeowners have been burned by out-of-state outfits that quote one number on the phone and another at the door. Our team lives and works in the DFW metro, and we know the 76262 corridor block by block. We know which Fairways at Roanoke homes have panels with spare capacity and which ones don’t. We know the HOA letters that show up in mailboxes off Litsey Road. That local knowledge isn’t a talking point, it’s how we estimate jobs accurately the first time.
Response time to Roanoke is same-day for emergency calls and usually within 48 hours for standard installs. Gus’s crew does the work themselves, background-checked and uniformed, no subcontractors. If something isn’t right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means Gus comes back and makes it right, in writing, on every job. That’s the standard that governs every charger we wire in Trophy Club, Southlake, Keller, Lantana, and right here in Roanoke.
We also offer a Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate and a 10% Senior and Veteran discount that never expires. Bring us a competing quote, we’ll show you the real numbers off your actual electrical panel, not a brochure estimate. Take two weeks to think about it. The price will be the same.
Our EV Charger Installation Services in Roanoke
Most Roanoke homeowners start with a Level 2 charger and discover along the way that their builder-grade electrical panel needs attention first. That’s fine. We’ll walk you through the whole picture before a single wire is pulled. Here’s what we handle most often in Roanoke:
Level 2 Charger Installation
A Level 2 charger in Roanoke runs $750-$1,500 for a standard install, which includes the unit, dedicated circuit, breaker, and wiring from your panel to the garage or driveway. The big variable is distance: a charger mounted right next to the panel costs less than one wired across a three-car garage in a 4,000 sq ft home off Cleveland Gibbs Road. We’ll give you the exact number before we start, and the number we quote is the number you pay.
Tesla Wall Connector Installation
Tesla Wall Connectors are the most common charger we install in Roanoke, and for good reason, they deliver up to 48 amps and pair cleanly with a Tesla or any EV using a NACS adapter. Installation runs $900-$1,800 depending on panel capacity and wiring distance. In the Fairways at Roanoke subdivision off Litsey Road, our crew installed a Tesla Wall Connector for a homeowner whose builder-installed 200-amp panel had no spare breaker slots. We ran a dedicated 60-amp circuit through the attic, added a subpanel, and paired it with a 10.4 kW Enphase microinverter array on the hip-dominant roof. Her Level 2 charger now pulls full 48-amp output overnight.
Panel Upgrade for EV Charging
Here’s what we see constantly in Roanoke: a homeowner buys an EV, calls us for a charger, and we find their 200-amp panel is already maxed out by multi-zone HVAC and a pool pump. A panel upgrade in Roanoke runs $1,800-$3,500 depending on whether we’re adding a subpanel or replacing the main service. It’s not optional extra work, it’s the difference between a charger that works reliably and a breaker that trips every time you plug in.
Garage & Driveway Charger Wiring
Whether your charger goes on the garage wall or on a pedestal next to the driveway, the wiring path matters. Roanoke’s two-story homes often route conduit through attics with tight clearance and blown-in insulation. We handle the full run, permitted and inspected, with clean conduit work that doesn’t look like an afterthought. Driveway pedestal installs typically run $1,200-$2,300 in Roanoke because of the trenching and outdoor-rated components.

Trusted Brands We Service in Roanoke
We install and service chargers from Tesla, Enphase, and FranklinWH, along with most major Level 2 units on the market.

Common EV Charger Installation Problems We See in Roanoke Homes
Roanoke’s housing stock was built fast during the 2000s-2010s AllianceTexas boom, and that speed shows up in predictable places. Here are the four issues we run into most often:
- Maxed-out 200-amp panels: Builders sized panels for the house as built, not the house after a pool pump, a second AC unit, and an EV charger get added. Roanoke’s 2,500-4,500 sq ft homes regularly need a subpanel or service upgrade before a Level 2 charger can safely deliver 48 amps.
- Wi-Fi dead zones in two-story layouts: Your charger and garage door opener both rely on home Wi-Fi for scheduling and monitoring. Roanoke’s large two-story floorplans often drop signal in the garage, leaving owners unable to set charge times or track sessions from inside the house. We can wire a mesh extender or hardwired access point as part of the install.
- HOA warning letters about visible chargers: Roanoke’s HOA architectural review boards routinely tell homeowners that a visible EV charger or conduit run violates deed restrictions. Texas Property Code §202.010 bars HOAs from prohibiting solar or EV charging infrastructure, but most homeowners don’t know that until someone tells them. We walk every Roanoke customer through their legal rights before the site assessment.
- Hip-dominant roofs that limit solar paired options: Most Roanoke homes were built with hipped roofs, which shrink the south-facing plane needed for a clean solar array. If you’re pairing a charger with solar, the panel layout needs real analysis, not a satellite-image guess. We do that analysis on-site and quote the year-25 output, not the day-one brochure number.

FAQs - EV Charger Installation in Roanoke
No. Texas Property Code §202.010 explicitly bars HOAs from prohibiting or unreasonably restricting solar installations and EV charging infrastructure, and that law applies to every planned community in Roanoke, including the 76262 corridor. If your HOA sends a warning letter, don’t abandon the project. We’ll walk you through the state code, help you draft a response, and install the charger in compliance with the law. Call (877) 550-6892 and we’ll start with a free consultation.
Because builders in Roanoke’s 2000s boom sized electrical panels for the house as constructed, not for a future EV. A 2,500-4,500 sq ft home with multi-zone HVAC, a pool pump, and modern appliances often has little or no spare capacity on a 200-amp panel. A Level 2 charger pulling 48 amps needs a dedicated 60-amp circuit. If your panel can’t safely support it, the upgrade is mandatory, not optional, and it typically costs $1,800-$3,500 in Roanoke depending on the existing service.
Yes. Roanoke averages roughly 229 sunny days a year with intense summer peak-sun hours, and a properly sized array on a south-facing or east-west plane can cover a large share of your annual charging load. Our field estimate for a Fairways at Roanoke install showed a 10.4 kW Enphase array offsetting 94% of the homeowner’s annual kWh, including her overnight Tesla charging. The catch is Roanoke’s hip-dominant roofs, which reduce the usable south-facing plane. That’s why we do an on-site shading and pitch analysis before quoting, not a satellite guess.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common issues we see in Roanoke’s larger tract homes. Both your garage door opener and your EV charger depend on a reliable Wi-Fi signal for scheduling, monitoring, and remote control. When the signal drops in the garage, you lose the ability to set charge times or track sessions. We can install a hardwired access point or mesh extender as part of your charger installation, usually for $150-$400 extra, so the system works reliably from day one. Call (877) 550-6892 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
Yes. Roanoke requires a permit for any new EV charging circuit, and the work must pass a city electrical inspection. Pulling the permit is standard practice on every install we do, and it protects you two ways: it ensures the work is safe, and it creates a paper trail your homeowner’s insurance will respect if anything ever goes wrong. We handle the permit, schedule the inspection, and stand behind the work with the 90-Day Done Right Promise. Call (877) 550-6892 and a live person will walk you through what your specific install will require.
We can be in Roanoke the same day for emergency calls, and standard installs are usually scheduled within 48 hours. Roanoke’s 76262 and 76299 zip codes are fully covered by our local crew. Call (877) 550-6892 and a live person, not a voicemail, will answer 24/7.
