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.

Worked with "EVCharger Expert" to install a 240V outlet for an EV charger in my garage and a…read morededicated 20A outlet for an over-the-range microwave. Overall, the job was completed successfully, passed inspection, and avoided a costly panel upgrade. But there were also a few areas where the process could have been handled more proactively. What I appreciated: * Technical expertise & cost savings: My service panel is limited (90A), and other contractors immediately suggested an expensive underground service upgrade. Kirill performed load calculation and recommended using an Emporia Pro charger with dynamic load management. That solution allowed me to safely add both the EV charging outlet and the microwave circuit without upgrading the service panel. * Permits & documentation: They provided the required licensing, insurance documentation and handled the city permitting and inspection process. The final inspection passed without issue. * Responsiveness: Communication was generally clear via email regarding quotes, scheduling, and permit updates. Where I believe the process could improve: We encountered a major obstacle when it was discovered that the crawl space was blocked by a concrete foundation wall, preventing wire routing as originally planned. Initially, there wasn't a clear alternative proposed. I ended up suggesting routing the wiring through the ceiling instead. While the team evaluated and successfully implemented that solution, I would have preferred if alternative routing strategies had been proactively identified earlier in the process. I also want to acknowledge Erin's craftsmanship. When we ultimately routed the wiring through the ceiling, he carefully navigated around existing plumbing lines and made precise cuts to minimize disruption. The finish work was clean and well executed. In the end, the installation works well, passed inspection, and achieved the primary goal of adding EV charging without a major panel upgrade. I would recommend them for homeowners with limited electrical capacity, especially if dynamic load management is needed.

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.

I believe your company has a responsibility to implement basic safety and organizational measures at your stations. I strongly urge you to: Employ attendants to oversee operations at busy stations Install security cameras and post clear signage indicating the area is under surveillance Add visible signage and permanent cones or markings to designate the correct waiting queue Customers should not have to risk their safety to access the services your company provides--especially when these stations are located in high-traffic areas without adequate oversight. I hope you will take this issue seriously and prioritize customer safety by making the necessary changes as soon as possible.

Usually the EV chargers are the closest available parking - that is one of the perks of driving an EV. Not sure why they are so far away here - must have had something to do with the electricity source. Chargers are always open - which I like. It is a little dark in this part of the parking lot but there are tons of security guards here at this WF. EVs have come such a long way - if you haven't had a chance to test drive the newest and see how fast they are able to charge try them out. This is so much nicer than charging at home in an EV charger that is 220. For one thing it charges so slowly and for a second thing I'd rather not have all this charging going on in my garage where I live while I sleep. Much rather it charge in a safe public outdoor space.
