Frequently Asked Questions
Which electric utility serves South Salem in Salem?
Portland General Electric (PGE) serves nearly all of South 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 South Salem?
Inside Salem city limits, electrical permits are issued by the City of Salem Permit Application Center; we pull the permit and schedule the inspection. Permit and inspection fees are itemized in your written estimate before any work begins.
Do you cover the Sunnyslope and Croisan Creek area too?
Yes. South Salem is adjacent to Sunnyslope, Croisan Creek, Faye Wright, Morningside, and we work all of these neighborhoods regularly out of our Salem shop.
How much does Tesla Wall Connector installation cost in South Salem?
Most South Salem-area hardwired Tesla Wall Connector installs land between $900 and $2,200. Longer panel-to-charger runs, finished-wall fishing, load-management devices, and panel upgrades add cost. We give a written estimate before any work.
What size breaker does a Tesla Wall Connector need?
For maximum 48A (11.5 kW) charging, the Wall Connector needs a dedicated 60A breaker on #6 copper. We can configure it for 40A or 50A breakers when panel capacity is tight — the unit lets you select the breaker size during commissioning.
Should I get a Wall Connector or use a NEMA 14-50?
Wall Connector is faster (up to 48A vs 32A) and supports power-sharing, Wi-Fi monitoring, and over-the-air updates. NEMA 14-50 is cheaper if you already own the Mobile Connector and 32A is enough. We'll recommend based on your driving and panel capacity.
Can the Wall Connector charge other EVs?
Yes — Tesla now ships J1772 adapters with new vehicles, and the Wall Connector supports J1772 in some configurations. We'll confirm compatibility for non-Tesla EVs during the site visit.
