    This is my first time using a charging station. It's easy to use and very explanatory. It has both 100kw and 350kw options.

    East Oakland

    Needed to install a charger for a new EV, and was told by two electricians that I required more…read morerobust service, that is, a new panel, that would cost anywhere from $6 to $8 thousand, which took some of the joy of not paying $5.50 a gallon. EV Charger Expert proposed installing a smart plug that would monitor demand, and should demand overtax the existing service, throttle back demand from the car charger. That cost $1550 plus a $600 smart plug. The work was done quickly and it worked for Night One. I'm happy.

    It has been close to two months since the installation and one month since the city inspection, so…read moreI feel ready to give a fair review. I needed to install my own Emporia Pro charger with a load balancer and wanted to get it done quickly and with a permit. I reached out to EV Charger Expert. I communicated with two people from the company: Kirill, the sales manager, and Erin, the electrician/installer. **The Good** Kirill is very prompt and responsive. He always answers the phone and is willing to discuss the details. He clearly knows the intricacies of EV charger installations, even in more complex situations. He was able to schedule the installation very quickly, and the work was completed on time. The city inspection was done one month later and passed without any issues. So, my primary goal was achieved: I had my charger installed, permitted, and running ASAP. **The Bad** The cost of the installation was fairly high. I paid $2,450 for installation, materials, and the permit. Since I provided my own charger, I believe the labor and other installation costs represented the majority of that amount. For this price, I expected a very high-quality job. Erin installed and set up everything within one day. Two relatively minor problems occurred. If the company had handled these issues better, I would have given them four or even five stars. **1. The load balancer antenna** My charger includes a load balancer with a small antenna. The antenna is supposed to stick out from the metal subpanel so that it can receive a Wi-Fi signal. After the installation, the antenna was hanging through a large round hole in the subpanel. It looked unfinished and, in my opinion, was both unattractive and potentially unsafe. I could not convince the installer to cover the opening, so I had to do it myself. I made a trip to Home Depot, spent about $10 on parts, and made a simple cover myself. The antenna is now secure and the opening is properly covered. Please see the before-and-after pictures. **2. Stripped subpanel screw** During the installation, one of the four screws holding the subpanel door was stripped. I considered this a safety issue. I notified both the installer and the sales manager by SMS that evening, as soon as I noticed it. The installer called me back two days later and, to put it mildly, was quite rude. He told me that it was not an emergency and that they would take care of it on the day of the inspection. On the day of the inspection, Kirill did not have the appropriate replacement hardware. I suggested using a tap and a slightly larger screw to repair the stripped hole, but he declined. Once again, I had to make a trip to a hardware store, purchase a set of taps and screws, and repair it myself. To be fair, Kirill reimbursed me $30 for the cost of the screws and taps. In total, I made several trips to a hardware store and spent several hours fixing issues that I believe should have been addressed by the installer. **Overall** The installation was completed quickly, on schedule, and passed the city inspection without any problems. Kirill was also very responsive throughout the process. However, given the high price, I expected better attention to detail and better handling of the two relatively minor issues that came up. Neither problem was particularly difficult or expensive to fix, but in both cases, I ultimately had to resolve the issue myself. For me, the installation achieved its main objective, but the quality of the finishing work and the way the problems were handled left something to be desired. For these reasons, I am giving EV Charger Expert three stars.

    EVgo Fast Charging Station - Out of order

    Great location for a charging station as its convenient to some restaurants, a coffee shop and a…read moregrocery store - - and its super close to where I live but every time I go the charger is down. The last two times I visited here I was at 3% - its not fun. They put this snail or turtle on the dash - and you get this message - something like - you don't have as much power. I once tried to merge onto the highway with this snail on the dash and my little rocket had less power than a 1984 240d - and if your not sure what that is - only thoughts and prayers can get you up to speed in those. Great for IG photos and for looking at on the driveway - but not that pleasant of a daily. I like the Raley's grocery store and there is a coffee shop inside that overlooks the little moat beteween Alameda and Oakland - its a fine place to hang for 45 minutes while it charges - that is if it worked. The last two times the broken charger was of course open and the other working one taken. I think there are only two chargers. Some can charge two cars at one time but I don't think these.... I'm not exactly sure though since it was down each time I went. There was a sign on the broken EV charger. Read something like they knew that it was down and they were fixing it. There are so many private EV chargers on the map - and when you are low with range anxiety and the snail its not a good place to be. That night I ended up going home and getting 15% over night - something that could be done here in 6 minutes if it worked. That 15% did get me the next day to a working charger a bit more away in the Alameda landing shopping center.
