To install a fast EV charger by Elecomp, you must first contact a licensed electrician for a site assessment to check your electrical panel's capacity and determine the best placement for the charger. The electrician will handle the process of obtaining the necessary electrical permit from the ESA, running a new circuit from your panel, mounting and wiring the charger, and performing a final system test to ensure it is safe and compliant. The installation requires professional expertise, as it involves specific codes and safety standards. Key steps for installation
