ChargeWizards has installed ev charger for condos & hoas in homes across Santa Clara 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.

Real install: A San Francisco condo customer needed a 130 ft conduit run from the building's electrical room to parking stall #85. ChargeWizards drafted the HOA application, shepherded it through the board, pulled the DBI permit, ran the conduit cleanly along the garage ceiling, installed a dedicated sub-meter, and secured a $5,000 utility rebate that offset most of the install cost. The unit owner now charges overnight at off-peak rates without sharing electricity with neighbors.
