240V EV Charger Installation -- Done Well and at a Reasonable Price in San Diego David was our installer and he was sharp, professional, neat, and tidy. He patiently answered all my rookie questions and helped me better understand our system. And every person I spoke to, texted, or emailed with at Faraday was pleasant, professional, and genuinely trying to help. Our condo presented a real puzzle -- multiple challenges stacked on top of each other: 1. A 100A unit limit (calculated by Faraday after examining our building's electrical panel), which capped the circuit at 40A max 2. Our circuit box is in the bedroom on the 2nd level; the charger needed to go on the 1st level 3. No direct access between the bedroom and garage 4. No adjacent open slots in the circuit box David assessed the situation and presented a clear, workable plan: rearrange circuits in the box, cut a few strategic holes in the ceiling and walls to route wire across the room, through the floor, and into the garage. What gave me confidence going in: Faraday had done the same kind of job for one of our neighbors here in the Kearny Mesa area back in 2021. They were kind enough to let me see how the project turned out. They gave it the thumbs up -- and there wasn't a trace of the installation process anywhere. Just a clean, finished result. David is in high demand and is a dedicated worker, so our schedule timing didn't initially align for his first visit -- that was our only hiccup. He came back for the installation about a week later and wrapped it up in roughly two hours. He was neat, tidy, and respectful of our home throughout. The holes he made were designed to be easy to patch and paint, and he left them clean and stable until I have time to get around to it. My wife offered him lunch while he was working; he said he'd rather finish the job first and take it with him -- which he did. (My kind of work ethic -- and honestly my vote too. ) TIP: If in San Diego, research the SDG&E Pricing Plans; we chose EV-TOU-5. We have not received a full bill yet, but we're hopeful charging during Super Off-Peak hours helps. Caveat: I'm no electrician; I may have mixed up Amps/Volts/Watts references :) read more

I scheduled Faraday through the ChargePoint website to install an EV charger in my home. I spoke with someone named Joe on the phone, sent them photos and videos of my electric panels and where the charger should go. Faraday responded with an emailed quote and they seemed eager to start the work... Then they never showed up. After wasting a day waiting for them, I called to ask why they never arrived. I received a bs answer and the promise of a follow up email the next day. I never received an email or any other communication from them explaining why they blew off the job. This company is unprofessional and a complete waste of time. read more

Contacted Faraday Electric through the Tesla recommendation website which connected me to their Texas office. Had a conversation with Victor, who told me what he needed (pictures of location for the ev charger and of my breaker box). Within an hour he sent me a quote and told me they have an opening the next day. Their tech, scheduled for a 2-hour window, apologized for being late. She realized that she had grabbed the wrong supplies for what I needed. I had no problem with it since my wife hadn't received her car yet. In all was happy with the work she did. read more

Updated Review: I'm updating my review because, although the initial installation of the Tesla Wall Charger was done well, the follow-up experience was disappointing. After just six months, the charger stopped working. When I called the company, they quoted me around $150 just to inspect it, and said it could cost another $200 or more to reinstall it. What they failed to mention is that the charger was still under Tesla's warranty. All I needed to do was contact Tesla via the 1-800 number or request service through the Tesla app. Tesla promptly sent me a full replacement unit that was incredibly simple to install--just a matter of popping off the faceplate and replacing it. I feel this company was not upfront with information and would not use them again due to the lack of honesty. read more

I've had great experiences with Faraday in Austin TX installing Tesla wall chargers. Most recently with our electrician, Austin.

Pros: they were able to install my 100amp EV charger. Charger works as it should. Installer was knowledgeable and courteous. Con: seems they are just a middle man that outsources other electric companies to do their work in San Antonio. The estimated cost for the service changed 3 different times and more than doubled by the time the work was done. They had to come multiple times to finish the work as they didn't have all the materials needed. They had the charger model and knew the required amp needed besides the fact we spoke about it at the beginning. Return to finish work went from a couple of weeks to about a month. Luckily they left the charger usable during that time. For the price the work was not as clean I would have expected. Sent pictures about the work and no attempt was made to make it right. Sadly I will not be advising others to use this company. read more

I'm a customer who check ratings before putting an order. And that's why I picked Faraday Electric when I had my Tesla charger installed. Obvious the rating is misleading this time. Or I should say, I cannot believe this company gets such a high rating while there're so many negtive feedbacks and 1 star rating. As said in many feedbacks, this company charges a high fee to get the city permit but the permit never shows up. And they won't give any update after months. Even if you have the lucky to get someone answser the call after many many tries, they will just say the process takes time and leave you in dark. read more

This business is unprofessional about the work. I was asked to take photos about my main panel and sub-panel, along with the parking location. After providing such photos, the team decides to install the Tesla charger on the sub-panel (which is the mistake). After the installation, we constantly have issues with the charging process. While discussing with my friends and neighbors, we realized that if this were installed on the main panel, nothing would break and things would be much smoother.  Realizing this, I contacted the business and they acknowledged this mistake, but required us to pay additional $350 for their mistake. I refused. read more

I had an EV wall charger installed. Work is good, but I was quoted $500 and they charged $900. I argued about the price, and they said it was because they used 40 feet of conduit and it took the electrician extra time. I measured and it was 20 feet of conduit and the electrician was done in less than an hour. After some tense back and forth (via text), Victor called me from their office and argued with me over the phone. Because I measured the conduit, he dropped the price to $850. The thing that irritated me was that the technician did not indicate how expensive their conduit was. I could have had them install the charger within a few feet of the electrical panel if I'd have known this bit of tubing was going to cost me $300. When I said that to Victor, he told me I should have read the contract. Overall, I'd say that the technician was polite and skilled, but the experience dealing with the company was quite negative. read more

I hired Faraday Electric to install a Tesla Wall Charger in my garage. The installation itself went fine, and I even paid extra for the permit processing as shown on their invoice. However, after the installation, they never followed up about the permit process or provided any updates. I've tried reaching out, but they haven't responded to my messages or calls. Extremely poor communication. I wouldn't recommend them unless they improve their customer follow-up and transparency regarding permits. read more

Not sure how this company has a 4.6-star rating... I contacted Faraday to get a quote on installing a Tesla Wall Charger in my garage. Within minutes of submitting pictures and information into their online application, I had a call from "Rudy" promising me they could come to my house the next day to install the charger and that they would even "waive" their normal pick up fee. I explained that I wanted the job permitted and told him that I had some reservations about reviews that I had been seeing in Yelp regarding lack of follow-through. Rudy explained that there had been a hiccup with one of their personnel that was key in the permitting process, but that it was resolved. Based on his assurances, I said we could move forward, but only after they had secured the permit from my local jurisdiction. I paid extra for them to process the permit. A couple weeks later, permit in hand, we scheduled the job. Their electrician arrived on time, did the installation, and the charger worked as expected. I provided feedback at that time, that I wasn't totally jazzed about how they routed the conduit from the electrical panel to the charger. Specifically, instead of running the conduit 6 inches higher on top of the open joists of my garage, the conduit passed right next to the rail of my garage door opener. The response made it sound like this was required, but having extensive contracting experience, I know that running conduit over the joists was not required by code and will only make replacing the garage door opener more difficult in the future. The real problem here is that they took my $$$ to permit the job, but never followed up on closing out the permit. Never scheduled an inspection and never responded to my communications after I had already paid. I guess their permit-scam is still ongoing and thankfully the local electrical inspector let me close out the permit without their participation. read more

I was promised a 3 year warranty while getting my quote; which was the deciding factor the made me choose them. Unfortunately once the work was completed they sent over a receipt that stated I only had a 1 year warranty. I emailed them on March 31st immediately to rectify the situation to which I didn't get a reply. I then reached out via text on April 4th and didn't get a response until about 3 days later saying that they would make the corrections and send it over. I still haven't received it and have reached out a few more times since with no reply. So if you are choosing based on warranty, be cautious as it doesn't seem like they plan to uphold the deal. read more

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. They will only install the EV charger and then you ask them for the permit they will disappear. They are also incapable of calculating the load for the panels etc. Do not use this company if you are looking to get the city permit for your charger. read more

1 star for very poor communication. The company took about 4-5 months (installed summer 2024) after initial contact to install a Tesla Gateway. The install was fine (I think) in terms of wiring however it didn't work and the company never bothered to troubleshoot. After a year of back/forth with Tesla support, Tesla concluded the gateway itself is faulty, which is not Faraday's fault. However, Tesla reached out multiple times to Faraday to send them a new one and Faraday never returned their calls. Tesla eventually gave up and I have tried calling, emailing, and reaching out through Yelp with no replies over the last month. I can only assume this company has gone out of business. read more

My situation is exactly the same with Katelyn G, Sheila K and Jose M. The company charged us money to file this permit but never responded to update us. It's been months. They will not pick up their phones or respond to any messages. What the heck is going on?!?! Understand that the city may take a while but this behavior of ghosting customers is completely unacceptable. Update: for everyone who has the same issue, try to call your city government first and see what's going on from their angle. I called and the city said the reason why they have not issued the permit is because faraday owes them a balance. So I've been following up with faraday for a week now. Still no response. Such shitty practice and customer service. Crazy. read more

Very impressed the quote documents based on the pics I sent. With the level of detail provided I knew exactly what was involved. Communication was very prompt and succinct. Pricing was fair for the work involved. I highly recommend Faraday Electric. read more

After much consideration, I have to reduce my rating from a 5 star to a 1 star. Faraday's contractor license is expired, and they are not able to issue permits to anyone. My entire tax return is now held up because I can't submit my permit number for the EV charger federal tax rebate. Do not use Faraday for anything. Their customer service is also absolute garbage, half the time you call any of their phone numbers, it gives you the message " The google voice subscriber you're trying to reach can't be contacted". These hacks didn't even complete their voicemail greeting, farless for my permits. I am now getting Yelp support and the BBB involved. Yelp should NOT be recommending companies that can't legally work in California. Don't use this Faraday under any circumstances. read more

I received a quote, and accepted, this was sex months ago, then they told me i need to have a county permit, which they will do provided i pay $250 for fees + $200 for theirfee, which is ok and i did pay it.

From the estimate to the final work done, Faraday Electric was wonderful. I was having an EV charger installed in my garage. Victor called to discuss the estimate, which is the most detailed estimate I have every received, and answer any questions I had. The day of the install the tech showed up on time, explained everything he was going to do and did a clean job. If you are going to have an EV charger installed, I would use Faraday Electric. read more

I found this on the Tesla website. It is good to shop around and find some quotes if you're not in a hurry to get it done. Faraday Electric was kind and professional through text/emails. I got a better quote from them so I scheduled an appointment. I did mention that I had the GEN 2 charger. The electrician showed up and thought it was going to be a GEN 3. I was given the impression that Gen 3 is easier to install than Gen 2. The installation did indeed take longer which is no problem because I was moving and cleaning. The job was done cleanly and organized. Although my face plate was accidentally broken by the electrician they were able to compensate for it. Very professional and reliable. I would definitely recommend them again. read more

4.999 stars. Faraday Electric submitted a competitive bid to replace our current wall charger from Clipper Creek to a Tesla Wall Charger that we purchased through Tesla. Their proposal had a mockup of the location of the charger and was thorough in the scope of work and they had next day availability (!) David showed up on time (actually early!) and completed the work in a fast and timely manner, taking care to not disrupt the other circuit to our garage that was connected to the 50A circuit for the wall charger. The work is beautiful and charger works perfect. Thank you! read more

I called + emailed around 22 competitors (I take my time), including Tesla Certified ones, non-certified ones, and even a few unlicensed electricians. Faraday gave the best quote by far- although I was wary about the low quote, the work proposal (13+ pages) they sent me prior to setting the appointment was extensively prepared/detail oriented. Our house is a tricky one, with an outdated panel in our backyard (as far as can it can possibly be from where we wanted the charger). Kevin was able to make it work by going through the crawlspace- he finished in less than 2.5 hrs without rousing our dogs too much, nor waking our newborn. Just look how clean it turned out. I didn't even mention the dead outlets in our yard installed by the previous homeowners, and Kevin pointed those out for us. Also, as I'm chasing rewards on different credit cards- Faraday was able to seamlessly accommodate my odd payment requests as well. No need to look elsewhere for licensed, Tesla Certified work, these guys are the best. read more

Super fast installation, with attention to detail. I especially liked the detailed project description they send you ahead of time with the quote, even showing a mockup photo of where the charger would be installed, based on the photos you give them. That actually helped clarify one important piece of the installation with them ahead of time. The technician was clearly very experienced, since the wall charger ran into an issue while connecting to wifi & self-configuring, and he exactly knew what to do to fix the issue. read more

We used Faraday Electric to install. They charged us several hundred dollars for permit alone, I could not get them to file it for months. Filed BBB complaint just to get them to do something. And even with the BBB complaint they would just file the permit and would not schedule inspection. Just don't bother if you want the job done right. Check their BBB site for info. read more

I give a 2 star because of how my appointment was handled. I cannot speak of their work because no one showed up or communicated very well so this is more about scheduling. I put in for a quote and received a response and set an appointment for a 1-3 window, by 2:50 no one had showed up or called. I texted the company and asked were they still coming a d I was told there was an issue at the previous job and they were trying to establish an eta. I didn't want to sit and wait to long past our agreed window so I asked if they would be there within the 3-4 time-frame and if not I need to reschedule, I got no response. I then call and no answer. I texted to reschedule again and no response. After that I texted to them not to reschedule because I decided to.go with another company. My issue was not they were late or could not make it that day it was the lack of communication that bothered me and made me not want to deal with this company at all. read more

Faraday Electric installed two Tesla wall chargers last September. The installation was working fine until recent rains, which leaked into the electrical panel sitting on an outside wall of my garage. The leak came from the unsealed cutout made by the installer of the Tesla wall charger (see attached photo). This leak has caused 3 of the circuit breakers inside the panel to malfunction. I reported the issue to Faraday Electric on Friday, and was told that the earliest an electrician can come is next Wednesday. I'm disappointed that Faraday Electric cannot resolve the issue for its customer in a more timely fashion. read more

Tesla Wall Charger installation 2 months ago, initial visit was fine and we were satisfied with the service, until last week when trying to charge had a "Charging Error - No Power" and Charging Equipment not ready. Reached back out to Faraday with our issue and they scheduled a service visit, cancelled day of only to reschedule for another day and then cancel again. We selected Faraday Electric because they were on the Yelp Guaranteed list as well as the Tesla Certified Installer list and, while we paid a little more than other contractors, we wanted the peace of mind of a reputable company.
