Permits in San Bruno go through the City of San Bruno 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.
San Bruno sits in one of the highest EV-adoption markets in the country, with medium EV penetration and growing fast. Post-war bedroom community adjacent to SFO. YouTube HQ located here. Mix of older working-class homes with 100A panels and newer developments. Flight path overhead. The local utility, PG&E, offers EV-specific time-of-use rates that cut overnight charging costs roughly in half — most ChargeWizards customers in San Bruno pay about $0.30–$0.40/kWh during off-peak hours, or roughly $1.20 per gallon-equivalent for an EV.
ChargeWizards has installed panel upgrade (100a to 200a) in homes across San Bruno — 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 — no subcontractors, no rotating crews. CSLB C-10 #1134931, fully licensed and insured.
