Permits in Foster City go through the City of Foster City Building Division, which typically processes EV charger applications in 5โ€“14 business days. We submit the load calculation per NEC 220.87, panel schedule, and one-line diagram with every application โ€” getting most installs approved on the first review. We schedule the final inspection on your behalf and you don't need to be home for it.

Foster City sits in one of the highest EV-adoption markets in the country, with high EV penetration and growing fast. Master-planned city built on San Francisco Bay landfill. Newer construction than neighboring cities. Many condos and townhouses (HOA permissions needed). Visa HQ nearby. Very clean, well-maintained city. Relatively straightforward permit process. The local utility, PG&E, offers EV-specific time-of-use rates that cut overnight charging costs roughly in half โ€” most ChargeWizards customers in Foster City pay about $0.30โ€“$0.40/kWh during off-peak hours, or roughly $1.20 per gallon-equivalent for an EV.

ChargeWizards has installed trenching & conduit installation in homes across Foster City โ€” from single-family homes and condos 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 โ€” no subcontractors, no rotating crews. CSLB C-10 #1134931, fully licensed and insured.
