Frequently Asked Questions

Which electric utility serves Englewood in Salem?

Salem Electric serves much of the Englewood neighborhood in NE Salem. Knowing the serving utility matters for meter-base work, service upgrades, and any disconnect/reconnect — we coordinate that with the utility for you.

Who issues electrical permits for Englewood?

How much does Level 2 EV charger installation cost in Englewood?

Most Englewood-area hardwired Level 2 installs fall between $900 and $2,200. Longer cable runs, finished-wall fishing, or a panel upgrade add cost. We give a written estimate before any work.

Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?

Often no — a 100A or 200A panel with available capacity can support a 40A or 50A charger circuit. We perform a load calculation; if capacity is tight, we'll quote a load-management device or a panel upgrade.

Hardwired vs NEMA 14-50 — which should I pick?

Hardwired is required above 50A and is generally cleaner and code-preferred. NEMA 14-50 is fine for 40A chargers and lets you unplug the unit if you move.

Do EV charger installs need a permit in Oregon?

Yes. Oregon BCD requires an electrical permit and inspection for new 240V EV charger circuits. We handle permitting and inspection.
