1. Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Installation: Power Up at Home

More San Diego households are choosing electric vehicles, and installing a home EV charger has become not only a convenience but a necessity. W & S Electric offers reliable, code-compliant EV charging solutions tailored to your needs—shortcutting the hassle of public charging and boosting property value.
