EV Charger + Battery Storage + V2H: One Package, One Visit

Of the 12 ranked Lakeland electrical contractors, none packages EV charging, battery storage, and V2H rough-in under a single written quote. We do — because the panel conversation for all three happens at the same breaker box.

What the EV-Ready Home Package Covers

Level 2 EV Charger Circuit

NEMA 14-50 or hardwired EVSE run, sized by load calculation.

Service Load Calculation

Required by Florida code, included in every quote — we verify panel headroom before a wire is run.

Battery Storage Rough-In (optional)

Breaker position, conduit pathway, and transfer-ready wiring sized for a Powerwall-class battery.

V2H Bidirectional Rough-In (optional)

Dedicated conduit and panel slot reserved so the full V2H upgrade later is hardware plus software — not a panel re-pull.

One written quote covers all four legs. No separate bids per item.

Design the Wiring Once

The Rough-In Is the Expensive Part. The Firmware Is Free.

V2H is early-stage in Central Florida in 2026 and the compatible-vehicle list is short. But the electrical infrastructure — panel position, conduit run, dedicated circuit — is identical whether you complete the install this year or in 2027. Doing the conduit work on the same mobilization as your EV charger costs a fraction of returning with a second crew. The storm risk in Central Florida does not wait for the vehicle market to mature.

We do not hold Tesla, Ford, or ChargePoint manufacturer-tier installer status — and we say so plainly before the quote is signed. If your vehicle or charger requires a factory-certified installer, we tell you in writing at the scoping visit.

Need standby power beyond the battery? The whole-home generator conversation shares the same panel visit. If your service needs headroom first, see panel upgrades.
