What drives EV charger cost in Mountain View?

Mountain View has some of the highest EV ownership in the country — and a corresponding mix of straightforward and complex installs. Castro Street area bungalows have the older 100A panels (DPM territory), newer Shoreline townhomes and condos have modern panels but often HOA approval requirements. We handle both, including landlord/tenant negotiations under California AB 2565 for the city's rental housing.
