What this work usually runs.
Dequincy service area.
From our Lake Charles shop.
Trucks dispatch out of 803 W Bayou Pines Dr, Ste D, Lake Charles, LA 70601. Most days a crew is already inside Calcasieu Parish on another job, so the drive is short. For after-hours calls we roll one out from the shop.
EV charger installs in Dequincy pair well with the larger lots and garage spaces typical of perimeter properties. Most installs we do are 32A (7.7kW) or 48A (11.5kW) Level 2 chargers on a NEMA 14-50 receptacle or hardwired connection per the manufacturer spec. Many Dequincy properties already have 200A service, which makes the install straightforward; others sit on 100A panels that need either an upgrade or a load management device first.
We start every EV install with a NEC 220 load calculation to confirm what the existing service can carry and what needs to change. For 48A continuous loads we run 6 AWG copper per NEC 625 and 240 ampacity tables, use GFCI protection per NEC 625 on the EV branch circuit, and install a dedicated breaker sized for the charger. Outdoor installs get weather-rated boxes per NEC 406.4 and the charger gets mounted at the manufacturer-specified height. For garage installs at rural Dequincy addresses we often run conduit from the main panel to a clean termination at the charger location.
For Dequincy addresses where the panel is full or the service is undersized we present options: a service upgrade to 200A or 400A, a sub-panel for the EV circuit, or a load management device (Wallbox, ChargePoint, DCC) that allows the charger to throttle when other large loads are running. Most installs take half a day to a full day, plus the time for any panel or service work. Permit pulls through Calcasieu Parish.
What we look at for this job
Permits and inspections
DeQuincy is in northern Calcasieu Parish, generally unincorporated for permit purposes, so electrical permits are issued by the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury Building Division. We confirm jurisdiction by address and handle the permit. Permit work runs under LA Lic #73821. You do not touch the paperwork.
What's covered
Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee on every install. If our work fails because of how we put it in, we come back and fix it at no charge. Documented in writing at handoff and stays with the home.

What Southwest Louisiana says about our work
Real reviews from real customers across Lake Charles, Sulphur, Moss Bluff, and the surrounding parishes.
Hayes Electrical, LLC treat you like family. When I called I had an immediate need and they made me a priority. They were very friendly and professional and communicated well. There was no guessing. Their office staff and the person who answers the phone was on top of it! If you're looking for great professional service then you need to call Hayes Electrical.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had Hayes Electric install an EV wall charger for my new electric vehicle and couldn't be happier. The whole process was clean, fast, and professional. Communication was excellent every step of the way, which really gave me peace of mind. Special thanks to Mackenzie McGuane for the outstanding work - everything was done right the first time and looks great. Highly recommend Hayes Electric if you're looking for quality and reliability!
Mackenzie and Hayden completed my job effectively and efficiently. They are very professional, polite and well mannered. Both were able to check on making sure the job was done correctly, while also making sure other things were working properly as well. I highly recommend this company and workers. Thanks Darius Clayton for your recommendation.
Common questions for EV Charger Installation in Dequincy
Can my 100A Dequincy home handle a Level 2 EV charger?
Sometimes, with a lower-amperage charger or a load management device. Often not, especially with central AC and electric range, dryer, and well pump in the picture. We run a NEC 220 load calc first and tell you what your real options are.
NEMA 14-50 or hardwired - which is better?
For permanent installs we usually recommend hardwired. NEMA 14-50 receptacles in outdoor or garage installs have a long history of overheating from undersized devices. Hardwired is cleaner, often required for 48A chargers, and is the manufacturer-preferred option for most brands.
Do you pull a permit for EV charger installs?
Yes. EV charger installs require a Calcasieu Parish permit. We pull it, schedule the inspection, and meet the inspector. Permitting is part of the flat-quote price.
