Mountain View — home to Google — has some of the highest EV ownership rates anywhere in the United States. The housing mix ranges from post-war bungalows near Castro Street (100-amp panels, careful DPM assessment needed) to newer townhome and condo developments near Shoreline. One consideration unique to Mountain View: the city has a higher proportion of rental housing than neighboring cities. California AB 2565 gives tenants the right to install EV charging in their assigned parking — and ChargeWizards has navigated multiple landlord-tenant and HOA approval processes here. The City of Mountain View Building Division processes most EV permits in 7–14 business days.
Permits in Mountain View go through the City of Mountain View Building Division, which typically processes EV charger applications in 5–14 business days. We submit the load calculation per NEC 220.87, panel schedule, and one-line diagram with every application — 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.
