A recent Milwaukie project: an EV charger and a hot tub

A Milwaukie family had bought a hot tub and was adding a ChargePoint Level 2 EV charger, and their 125-amp panel couldn't handle both. Each needed a 50-amp circuit, about 100 amps of new load together. We replaced the panel with a new 200-amp panel, mounted the charger next to it, and ran the hot tub circuit about 60 feet out to the tub. Our two-person crew finished in one day.

It's a common situation in homes that were wired for a smaller set of appliances and are now taking on chargers, hot tubs, and heat pumps.

Who issues electrical permits in Milwaukie?

Inside Milwaukie city limits, the City of Milwaukie Building Division issues electrical permits. The city contracts with Clackamas County for electrical plan reviews and inspections, so the inspector who signs off on your work may be from the county.

Some homes with a Milwaukie mailing address are actually in unincorporated Clackamas County, such as Oak Grove, where the county issues the permit. We confirm which office covers your address and pull the permit as part of the job.

Which utility serves Milwaukie?

Milwaukie is in PGE territory. If you're adding a Level 2 charger and need a panel upgrade, PGE's Smart Charging program may offer rebates, and a 200-amp upgrade is one of the requirements for its panel rebate. See our post on PGE's panel upgrade rebate for EV chargers. You need to check and confirm your own eligibility directly with PGE. Nexus Electrical Group does not apply for, process, or guarantee rebates.

Can my Milwaukie home handle an EV charger and a hot tub?
