Belmont sits in one of the highest EV-adoption markets in the country, with high EV penetration and growing fast. Hillside suburb with mix of flat and sloped lots (conduit routing can be complex). Oracle employees and tech workers. Many 100A panels in older hillside homes. Quiet residential city with efficient building department. The local utility, PG&E, offers EV-specific time-of-use rates that cut overnight charging costs roughly in half — most ChargeWizards customers in Belmont pay about $0.30–$0.40/kWh during off-peak hours, or roughly $1.20 per gallon-equivalent for an EV.
ChargeWizards has installed panel upgrade (100a to 200a) in homes across Belmont — from single-family homes and townhouses with 100A panels to newer construction with 200A service. Every install includes a free pre-quote panel assessment (so we never quote a panel upgrade you don't need), the city permit, dedicated 240V circuit, mounting, commissioning with the charger app, and final inspection coordination. Our owner is on every job — no subcontractors, no rotating crews. CSLB C-10 #1134931, fully licensed and insured.
