Permits in South San Francisco go through the City of South San Francisco Building Division (DBI). DBI's electrical division reviews every EV charging install — typical timelines run 3–8 weeks depending on whether the building is a single-family Victorian, a TIC, or a condo with shared electrical. ChargeWizards handles the entire DBI submission, including the load calculation per NEC 220.87, the panel schedule, and the inspection request. As a Tesla Certified Installer (CSLB #1134931), we know which inspectors expect what.

South San Francisco sits in one of the highest EV-adoption markets in the country, with medium EV penetration and growing fast. Biotech corridor (Genentech). Mix of older working-class neighborhoods and newer biotech employee condos. Many 100A panels. Industrial city vibe with residential areas. PG&E's residential charger rebate available. The local utility, PG&E, offers EV-specific time-of-use rates that cut overnight charging costs roughly in half — most ChargeWizards customers in South San Francisco pay about $0.30–$0.40/kWh during off-peak hours, or roughly $1.20 per gallon-equivalent for an EV.
