I’m in Houston and have a new 2025 Macan 4 on the way this month. I have a ranch 1.5 hours outside of Houston where I need someone to install a charger there. Does anyone have someone they recommend? Out of Houston or Austin?

If you are buying a new charger, then the company that you are buying from also provide installation service, as far as I'm aware. 🤔

Not necessarily, at least where I live.

For example, Qmerit (the largest EV charger installation referral service in the US) will connect you with qualified and vetted electricians, and while they will handle the permitting and wiring, they expect you to provide the charging equipment.

5 years ago I used Trim Electric, Inc. for installation in my condo in Houston. Still works well today.

The dealership does not provide installation services. They provided me with Qmerit info but that has proven to be unsatisfactory for dealing with our unique circumstances. I was told by my dealership salesman that any electrician can install it. The dealership is given me the charger as part of the package.

The dealership does not provide installation services. They provided me with Qmerit info but that has proven to be unsatisfactory for dealing with our unique circumstances. Their online form forces you to specify the model and the year in their dropdown. The first attempt only went to 2024 in their dropdown. The second time they left off Porsche as an option entirely in the dropdown. We already are wired for this for my Tesla and just need it switched out to the Macan charger. I spoke to a Qmerit person but they didn't seem to grasp my situation. I was then told by the dealership that any electrician can handle this. I'm going that route. Thanks for your help!
