Tesla EV Charger, 200A Panel Upgrade & Generator Interlock Installation in Galveston

Owning a beach house in Galveston often means planning electrical upgrades with the coastal environment in mind. For this project, our customer wanted convenient Level 2 charging for their Tesla, along with a safer way to connect a portable generator during an outage.

ProLectric completed several upgrades at this Galveston beach home, including a Tesla Wall Connector, a dedicated 50-amp EV charging circuit, a new 200-amp outdoor main breaker panel, a generator interlock kit, and an outdoor generator inlet.

Project Details

For this installation, our licensed electricians completed:

  • Tesla Wall Connector installation
  • Dedicated 50-amp EV charging circuit 
  • New 200-amp, 40-space outdoor surface-mounted main breaker panel
  • Generator interlock kit installation
  • Outdoor generator inlet installation

Tesla Charger Installation for a Galveston Beach House

The Tesla Wall Connector gives the homeowner convenient Level 2 charging at home. With a dedicated 50-amp EV circuit, the customer can charge their Tesla overnight without relying on public charging stations.

Every EV charger installation is planned around the home’s existing electrical system, available capacity, charger location, and current code requirements.

New 200-Amp Outdoor Electrical Panel

As part of the project, we installed a new 200-amp, 40-space outdoor surface-mounted main breaker panel. This gives the home more breaker space for current and future electrical needs while updating the main electrical equipment.

For Galveston homes, especially beach houses exposed to coastal conditions, outdoor electrical equipment needs to be installed carefully and correctly for long-term performance.

Generator Interlock Kit and Generator Inlet

The customer also wanted a safer way to connect a portable generator during a power outage. We installed a generator interlock kit and an outdoor generator inlet so selected circuits can be powered safely when needed.

A properly installed generator interlock helps prevent unsafe backfeeding and gives homeowners a more organized option than running extension cords throughout the home.

Electrical Upgrades for Galveston Homes

This project is a good example of combining several useful upgrades into one electrical service call. The homeowner now has convenient Tesla charging, an updated outdoor electrical panel, and a safe generator connection setup for future outages.
