Typical Marina District Install
Tuck-under garage runs typically don't need any panel upgrade — a 60A breaker dropped from the existing panel powers a 48A Wall Connector with room to spare.
We start every Marina District job with photos of your panel and a 30-day pull of your CleanPowerSF or PG&E interval data. That lets us run an NEC 220.87 demand calculation before we ever quote panel work — so you only pay for an upgrade if you genuinely need one.
Why Tesla Certified Matters Here
San Francisco’s salt air, fog, and dense building stock make installation quality consequential. A Tesla Certified Installer commissions the unit through Tesla Pros, which logs firmware version, breaker configuration, and DPM CT placement. That commissioning record stays on file with Tesla for the life of the unit and protects your 4-year residential hardware warranty.
Tesla Certified Installer
ChargeWizards is Tesla Certified (CSLB #1134931), which means we source DPM equipment directly from Tesla — including the Neurio energy meter with proprietary firmware that isn't available through retail channels. Not all installers can offer DPM.
Permits & Inspections in San Francisco
Every Marina District EV charger install requires a San Francisco Department of Building Inspection (SF DBI) electrical permit. Under SB 1236, residential EV charger permits in California are capped at roughly $93–$150 and require expedited review (typically 1–3 business days online). We file the permit on your behalf, schedule the inspection, and meet the SF DBI inspector at your property. You don’t deal with the permit office.
See our Bay Area permit guide for the full SF DBI process.
Rebates for Marina District Residents
CleanPowerSF EVCSF rebate up to $5,000 for income-qualified residents; federal Section 30C credit applies to eligible census tracts.
San Francisco residents receive electricity from CleanPowerSF (the city’s CCA) by default; PG&E continues to deliver the power but is not your generation provider. The residential charger rebate program for SF is EVCSF (CleanPowerSF), not PG&E. PG&E’s residential offering for EV owners is the EV2-A time-of-use rate plan, which can save $400–$800/year on charging — that is a rate plan, not a rebate.
