What drives EV charger cost in Burlingame?
Burlingame's older Craftsman and Spanish Colonial homes (1920s–60s) come with two cost factors most cities don't: tighter electrical panels (100A or 150A common) and a dense tree canopy that often requires overhead routing instead of straight ground runs. Both are normal here — we plan for them, the install looks intentional, and the cost stays in line with comparable Peninsula projects.
Panel reality in Burlingame
100A and 150A panels are common in Burlingame — DPM is the default approach, panel upgrades are the exception.
