What a ChargeWizards Condo Install Includes
One firm price. We handle the law, the HOA, the panel, and the install.
California Civil Code §4745
California state law forbids HOAs from prohibiting EV charger installation in an owner's exclusive-use stall. Reasonable conditions (insurance, qualified installer, sub-meter) are allowed — outright denial is not. We know the statute and apply it correctly.
HOA paperwork — done for you
We complete the HOA architectural request, attach the load calculation, single-line diagram, scope of work, our license, and insurance certificates. Boards are used to seeing this packet from us — approvals come faster.
DPM avoids panel upgrades
Shared house panels are tight on capacity. Dynamic Power Management lets us add EV charging without a panel upgrade — the savings often determine whether the project happens at all.
Individual sub-metering
We install a dedicated sub-meter so you only pay for the energy you use. No house-meter disputes, no monthly assessments — your charging is on your bill.
Permit + inspection
We pull the electrical permit (San Francisco DBI included), file the load calc, coordinate inspection, and close out the permit. You don’t talk to the city.
Conduit to your stall
Clean, code-compliant EMT or LFMC routing from the source panel through common areas to your assigned stall. Architecturally sensitive — the board sees it before we install.
Your HOA Cannot Say No. Here's Why.
California Civil Code §4745 declares that any HOA governing document provision “effectively prohibiting or unreasonably restricting” the installation of an EV charging station in an owner's exclusive-use area is void and unenforceable.
The HOA may impose reasonable conditions — for example: licensed C-10 installer, $1M liability coverage, individual sub-metering, restoration on sale. A flat denial is not lawful. We've filed §4745 packets across SF, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties and we know which conditions courts have called “reasonable.”
Practically: you don't need to fight the board. You need a packet that satisfies the reasonable conditions in one shot. That's what we deliver.
Recent project
San Francisco condo: HOA denial → energized in 5 weeks
A recent SF condo client was initially denied by their board. We filed the §4745 packet, addressed load and aesthetic concerns, installed DPM (avoiding a $5K house-panel upgrade), and added a dedicated sub-meter so charging stays on the unit owner's bill. Total project: $2,950 firm. Approved and energized within 5 weeks.
