Charging and backup power, in town and out on the land
In San Antonio, most jobs look like anywhere else: a charger in the garage, a few feet from the panel. Out in the Hill Country it’s often a different job, with a detached garage or a metal shop, a long trench through rock, a well pump and a co-op meter.
We plan for that up front. Long runs, subpanels in a shop, propane generators and backup that keeps the well running are all normal work for us.
What we install in San Antonio and the Hill Country
One licensed crew for charging and backup power, so the charger, the battery and the panel work are planned together.
EV chargers
Tesla and Emporia chargers from stock, or the one you already have. Hardwired at up to 48A, with load management when the panel is tight.
Battery backup
Tesla Powerwall 3 and other home batteries, sized for the circuits you want to keep running in an outage.
Generators
Generac and Kohler standby generators for whole-home backup, on natural gas or propane.
Vehicle-to-home
Tesla Powershare and GM Energy V2H, so your EV can power the house when the grid goes down.
Commercial charging
Level 2 and DC fast charging for apartments, workplaces, dealerships and fleets.
Panel capacity
Load management first when the panel is tight. A service upgrade, or a SPAN smart panel, when the panel is too old or too small.
San Antonio and Hill Country know-how
One trip can cross three utilities and two counties. Here’s what changes the job.
Pricing
What a home charger install costs
Almost all of it is distance. In town most installs land in the first two columns. Shops and detached garages out on the land are usually in the third.
Up to 10 ft
$800
Panel in the garage, charger on a nearby wall.
10 to 50 ft
$1,300
Across the garage, through an attic, or around a corner.
50 ft and up
$2,000+
Detached garage, a second-story run, or a trench.
Typical installs. Prices don’t include the charger, permits, panel upgrades or load management, and assume your panel can carry a Level 2 charger. Need a charger? We’ll add one from stock to your quote.

What customers say
San Antonio and Hill Country questions
Can you run a charger to a detached garage or shop?
Yes. Long runs are normal for us. Depending on the distance, we trench or bore, size the wire for the run and often add a subpanel in the shop. These jobs usually price in the 50 ft and up range, and we’ll quote it exactly from your photos or a site visit.
Do you install propane generators?
Yes. We install Generac and Kohler standby generators on propane or natural gas. Licensed gas partners handle the gas connection, and our electricians do all the electrical work.
Can backup power keep my well pump running?
Yes, if it’s sized for it. Well pumps pull a big surge when they start, so we size the generator or battery around the pump, along with the fridge, lights and anything else you need.
Do you travel to Fredericksburg, Kerrville and Bandera?
Yes. We work from San Antonio out through the Hill Country. Send your address with the form and we’ll confirm.
Does CPS Energy have programs for EV owners?
CPS Energy has run programs for EV drivers, including off-peak charging rewards. Programs change, so check CPS Energy’s EV page for what’s current. Our prices don’t depend on any of them.
