ABOUT BUSINESS OWNER


Dear customers!
Thank you for contacting EvchargerExpert.
Our mission is to help people to install any EV charger and to get Grants and Tax rebates after installations.
Every EV charger installation depends on your electrical service and we need to see these details. Some service maybe full or overload. Remember the EV charger installation is very important like an A/C or  Solar installation and has a lot of NEC requirements. Our engineer will check every detail but for that please  send us your contact information (name, address, email, phone), the pictures with your main panel and sub-panels (main breaker, A/C, Oven, Dryer and etc.) and some simple sketch with an approximately distance between your panels and the charger/outlet installation.
Our email is [email protected]
After that we will send you our quote.

Thank you.
Kirill M. EvchargerExpert.

Had an amazing experience with EV Charger Expert. Within minutes I was contacted with a very detailed document to receive a quote. When I agreed to the quote, it took less than a week to come out and actually install it! Erin was great and explained the whole process to me and made sure the charger worked as expected after he was done. A week later they came back with the city inspector and we got the permit. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking to install a charger.

I recently hired EV Charger Expert to install my Tesla Wall Connector and handle the permit process and inspection. I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with their expertise and professionalism in the field of EV charger installations.

What sets EV Charger Expert apart is their exclusive focus on installing EV chargers. This specialization is evident in their meticulous attention to detail and knowledge of the specific requirements involved. From start to finish, they provided a seamless experience.

EV Charger Expert's estimates included everything from the drawings and permitting to working with the inspector. They did not treat the permit process as an optional add-on, which gave me peace of mind. Safety was my top priority, considering the installation of a new high-voltage device, and I was willing to pay a reasonable price for quality work done by professionals.

Throughout the project, both the owner, Kirill, and the electrician, Erin, were patient and informative. They took the time to address my questions and concerns, ensuring I was fully informed at every stage, from the initial estimate to the final inspection.

Thanks to EV Charger Expert, I now have a perfectly installed Tesla Wall Connector, permitted and inspected by the city. I can sleep better at night, knowing the job was done right. If you're in need of an EV charger installation, I highly recommend EV Charger Expert for their exceptional service and commitment to customer satisfaction.

I over-research, so if you want a way-too-detailed review from someone who contacted 18 electricians for quotes and information, this is that kind of review. (But if you want a shortened version, just read this next sentence: EVChargerExpert is the best electrician in the East Bay to install an EV charger.)

In October 2022, in anticipation of my 2023 Tesla Model Y being delivered, I messaged literally every electrician on Yelp who states they will install EV chargers in the San Leandro area. Of those, I received a mixed-bag of responses: 1 doesn't actually service my area; 2 made appointments but didn't show up (not cool); and 6 stopped responding at some point during the process (that was rather unprofessional).

In San Leandro, permits are legally required when installing an EV charger. Of course, if you don't get a permit, there's likely the chance the city may never find out. However, for safety and legality, I wanted an electrician who would do the entire permit process for me. 2 electricians told me they would not help with obtaining permits, so I decided not to use their services. And on that note, I'd like to say that 2 other electricians provided incorrect information: 1 said that permits aren't required, and 1 said that I can't get a permit until I have the car keys in hand (I contacted the City of San Leandro and the representative stated, This is the first time I hear this. The city does not verify a vehicle has been purchased before issuing an ev charger permit).

So one by one, I eliminated electricians in my process to find the best one. The next up on the chopping board were those with unreasonably high quotes, including two with high installation quotes that did not include permits: 1 asked for $1,685 and another asked for $1,550.  Two others asked for $2,100 and $1,990 with permits included, which weren't too bad, but were still on the expensive end.

Finally, we arrive at EVChargerExpert. I communicated with Kirill primarily via Yelp's messaging system. He was very flexible with the scheduling, despite it being obvious his company has a lot of customers. Everything was stated upfront in writing, including the exact cost of $1,445 (no additional fees or taxes whatsoever) and what the installation would entail. I asked Kirill what would happen if the permit fees end up higher than he expects, and he said the price he charges me would not change. (Spoiler alert: The permit fees were unexpectedly high, but Kirill was a man of his words and he did not ask for more money.) Furthermore, there is a 1-year warranty on the installation; of the 18 electricians, only 2 of them offered warranties.

On installation day, Erin arrived at my house to check out the area. Because of how my garage is set up, he actually needed additional materials, and it was raining very hard that morning, so he requested to return to do the job. (He would have done it in the rain, but I said I don't mind waiting for the sake of his safety, which he appreciated.) He returned that afternoon after the rain subsided and after he bought additional materials - I was not charged for these materials. The installation itself went smoothly and lasted approximately an hour. Erin is an easy-going and knowledgeable person who answered my dumb questions, which was super nice of him.

A few weeks later, Kirill and the city inspector checked out the installation for approximately 10 minutes, I received a permit, and that was the end of this saga. I have since been charging my Tesla Model Y for nearly a month without issues whatsoever.

I highly recommend EVChargerExpert and am very happy I went with them for the installation of a Tesla Wall Connector. I like Kirill and Erin and this company so much that I wanted to use them for other electrician services, but their sole focus at this time is EV charger installations, at which they are pros.

Working with both Kirill and Erin during the installation was easy and better than I could have expected. We had a difficult installation with the electrical panel being more than 100ft from the detached garage in which the charger was to be installed. Erin was very accommodating in discussing options, opportunities, and a solution that would get it done without a significant impact to the budget. He even worked through the rain and wind to get it done on time as promised! Kirill was fantastic to work with as well on scheduling and completing the permit process. I would absolutely recommend these guys and will use them again when the opportunity arises.

Great install of a Tesla wall charger in my home.  Kirill was super fast to respond to my initial request, and the technician who performed the install did an amazing job and was very professional.  The permit sign-off went smoothly and without incident.  I'd highly recommend EVCharger Expert to anyone.

I got the ev charger installed along with the load balancer. It was easy to communicate. Job was nicely done and they got the inspection also completed. I would highly recommend their services.

Price quoted was very reasonable compared to what some of the other vendors were quoting.

Kirill is a straightforward, easygoing, and respectable person.  The time he took to help answer all the questions I asked was thorough and informative.  He explained everything that was addressed without hesitation.  The process of sending him an estimated diagram of where the charger will be installed and sending pictures of the electrical panel was seamless.
As for Erin, he installed the sub panel, copper wires, and the EV charger.  He had a cleaner and more direct route to run the wires versus the route that I initially drew up.  With that being said, I am very pleased with how the installation went.
Overall, it was a pleasure getting to know Kirill and Erin.  Both provide excellent customer service and are professional with their work.
Thank you again!

Easy process with Kirill who takes the time to help us get what we requested. He wanted to make sure we passed inspection and I really wanted a nema 14-50 installed. At first glance, my older model electrical box looked maxed out. After the seasoned technician Erin came out to look, he was able to move many wires around safely and fit a 50amp gfci breaker switch on there! They setup our city inspection for Daly City, came out in a couple of weeks, and we passed! Real professionals and placed the plug right where we wanted it.

I highly recommend their work. They do not cut corners or push you into something that you don't want done. Remember that these guys are Certified electrician and not just EV installers that charge a little less, but lack the electrician license. Great guys at EVCHARGER!

I hired EVChargerExpert to install a charger in my garage.  A number of electrical issues in my rental home were uncovered during the first visit; resulting in a new quote.  Both Kirill and Erin worked quickly to offer solutions to the issues.  Erin did a fantastic job on the electrical work.  The project was completed the same week it was planned.  I highly recommend EVChargerExpert.

I had a great expereince with EVChargerExpert, both Kirill and Erin are knowledgeable and professional. Kirill was very responsive to my initial inquiry and subsequent questions, and handled all of the permitting behind the scenes - something refreshing to me as I usually have to be very involved in the process. Erin is a good electrician and a very hard worker, considering the scope of this project with underground wiring (see the second photo). The site was left clean each day after they left and the final installation looks great!

To obtain an estimate from this company, I was asked to provide detailed pictures and drawings of my electrical panel, etc.  The quote I received was for $3,194.00 for a super simple install that looked trivial even for me to complete (the quote did not include the charger which I had already bought by then).  To install my new L2 charger, I then hired a licensed electrician via HomeAdvisor, mostly to comply with the code and to save my time. And had the same job completed in 40 minutes for $350.

The wire only can deliver maximum 100 amp to the house and we used up almost all of it on the paper. I need to add a NEMA 14-50 in the garage for newly purchased Tesla. I quoted with multi companies, EVChargerExpert is the only company to use the power management unit to solve the power consumption quota issue. The project started in August, Kirill patiently helped me in applying permit from city through emails. Back and forth several times for the permit, then my vacation, Erin finally came to my house to install the NEMA14-50 with PMU in November. Erin did excellent job on the installation and explained how the system works to me clearly. I had a urgent meeting coincidentally with his time to shut off house power for hooking up the PMU to the main box, he patiently waited for me to finish my meeting, then continue his work. I had a small requirement to change the installation a little bit, Erin came back to my house on the another day for the change.  
I appreciate and highly recommend their work, as another review indicated, they are very professional and do not cut corners. And their price is also very competitive.

This a long overdue review...late last year my wife and I bought a Honda Clarity and with my job moving to Dublin from Oakland, I knew that I needed a faster way to charge the car.

I sent the photos of my electrical panel and breakers and had a quote in a short time.

I had already purchased a charger and Erin came out and did a clean, professional installation.  Kirill came out and met with the city inspector to get the permit signed off.

I highly recommend EVChargerExpert if you need an EV charging station installed!

this was a super easy process. kirill was fast to respond to all my questions and quoted us a reasonable price. when i was ready to pull the trigger, they scheduled the installation in a timely manner and got the city inspector to come by a week later. the installer erin was super nice, came by any way to look at our house even though it was raining. he didn't plan to install it in the rain but the moment it stopped raining he got it done very quickly and the work was exactly how we asked. very happy working with EV charger expert.

Kirill and Erin were excellent in performing an EV charger install for us, from start to finish with the inspection.

Very efficient and accurate with their original estimate. Even though there were some complications due to us having to change our installation location and very accommodating.

they worked through it did an excellent hardwired install using a smart technology using a voltage regulator unit so we wouldn't have to involve the power company and excess fees associated with a large project for our Ev vehicle installation.

They were thorough and professional in their work and left the garage clean after they were done and made sure we knew where the breakers were and described the work done at the start and the end to us to make sure how to maintain and understand how it functions.

They arrived on time and finished the 5hrs as estimated and followed up with the city inspector a few weeks later to finish the job on time.

I had a great experience with Kirill and his partner Erin. They were able to schedule the installation very quickly and even though it was a big job that had some complicating factors (condo, new electric panel required, etc) - they got the work done in one day and had all the permitting completed within days.

Everyone as extremely responsive and helped me understand what my options were. The work had to be done to a high standard since this was work done at a condo with approval needed by the HOA and they met the bar.

Highly recommend them - especially for more complex installations.

Excellent!! If you are evaluating electrician /co to install an EV Charger look no further!

My experience was great -In every aspect! Kirill ( owner) is very responsive, incredibly knowledgeable, and helped me understand various programs available to help defray some of my costs!!  His quote includes everything.  Assessing electrical coming to my house, installing physical charger, getting the permit from the city, providing load balance documents to the city, scheduling inspector, meeting inspector ( waiting for inspector!) to sign off.

Erin did the installation - he was terrific.  Very knowledgeable, professional, on time... even made sure to review with me how to turn off all electrical, gas, water to my house IF there was ever the need to do so.
I can't say enough good things .

( ALL other co's I talked to NEVER quoted with permit work!  When I asked they indicated that's optional and would all depend on the city, how long they waited for inspector, etc)

Thank you Kirill and Erin!
( oh yea, and they have everything on line, too! And of course they are licensed)

tl;dr;
Top-notch installation,  very responsive and knowledgeable owner.

I actually shopped around quite a bit before choosing EVCharger Expert. The installation for my condo unit was not that straightforward (it required a controller + connection from the main panel).

EVCharger Expert stood out from the rest. Kirill was very knowledgeable from the beginning and offered an optimal proposal to the unique requirements of my condo unit. Kirill responded to all my inquiries within minutes (text, email), and was always a few steps ahead of me when it comes to preparing the documents (permit and drawings). The entire process seemed so effortless.

Erin and Justin who did the installation were very professional. Looking at how they executed together, it was very clear that they have been doing this many many times. Controller installation from the main panel? No problem. Concrete wall? No problem. Recommending the best charger location? No problem. It was a flawless execution and I am very happy with the results.

I'd recommend EVCharger Expert to anyone who is looking for high quality installation and service.

Their quote to simply move an existing NEMA10-30 outlet 15 ft was more expensive than what others quoted for a full install with 20-30 ft cabling. Quite ridiculous.

Update after business owner's response: You can see the response from the company yourself below. I am a fair guy and give objective reviews. I have a pretty balanced record of positive and negative reviews for contractors I work with. Apparently, a free consult via email (which almost all contractors provide) constitutes an obligation for me to remain silent about pricing. Feel free to get your own quotes and decide for yourself if more than $1000 to move a NEMA 10-30 plug 15 ft is a reasonable number.

Kirill and his team were great. They were honest about what it was going to cost and the issues I had to deal with due to prior electrical installations and when they came onsite, they helped me save money too. They were punctual, polite, and professional. Not the cheapest option but worth it for the peace of mind. All they do is EV charger installations and they do it right.

Kirill responded to my request for a quote for installing an EV charger immediately, and quickly worked with me to find out whether it worked for our building. Due to our old building and parking situation, he wasn't able to install a charger, but he very kindly stayed after working hours to explain what our other options for charging were, and how to safely to do them ourselves. He even followed up with pictures via email of the things he mentioned during our conversation! No charge for this consultation, either, he just very generously shared this information. Even though we can't use his services ourselves, I want to recommend him to others who can. His responsiveness, generosity, honesty, and expertise make him a gem. Thank you, Kirill! Business owners like you add so much to our community.

I needed an EV CHARGER placed in my garage. I live in a complex where my main panel is in front of the house. The front of my house is the courtyard. So I had to run a line from the front of my house all the way to the back of the house where the garage is located. I had 3 other electricians come to my house to ask them how to do this. They all could not figure out how to run a line over my house, or around my house, or through my house. Erin was the only guy who came up with a way to run a line. He requested that I get a drywall guy to come and figure out the best way to run a line through my house to save on materials. They did a great job on my house and new 240v Charger.

Contacted this company to install a Tesla charger in my house based on all the positive Yelp reviews, and they did not disappoint. Initial communication with Kirill was detailed, professional, and timely. The installer Erin came out on time and installed the charger on the outside of my house in under 2 hours, and he completely cleaned up any debris after completion. He thoroughly went over the installation and any follow up services that the company does in case issues arise down the road.

They took care of all the permitting requirements and were even able to schedule the inspection without me needing to be there (since it was an outdoor installation).

Extremely easy to work with, and greatly simplified what could have been a somewhat complicated process.  Would not hesitate to recommend EVChargerExpert to anyone needing professional, efficient, and high quality charger installation.

Erin and Kirill were great, and I highly recommend them. Of the 3 businesses I contacted, Kirill was the only one who came around in person to see the job before giving a quote. They were competitive on price - I suspect the others price in plenty of margin, since they were just doing the quote from pictures. Erin was very responsive and knowledgable when I had queries, and in adjusting the quote as a result. They were also very flexible about coming up with a solution for the awkward location of my electrical panel.

Erin made a very neat installation and we're very happy with it. He went above and beyond in positioning it so we didn't have to repaint the area. I also checked out all the behind the scenes work and it was very tidy and organized - always a good sign. Great guys and I'd be very happy to work with them again for any electrical work.

Kirill and his team are the best for any EV charger installation. We had almost lost any hope about installing a charger in our building where we rent because of permitting and the high cost and complication that other electricians had quoted us. We reached out to Kirill and he was super fast answering, came to do an inspection and told us that it was a pretty straightforward installation and that he would take care of permits and HOA communication. I cannot tell you how pleasant and easy he made this process. We had our charger installed in one day by one of his technicians that was a pleasure to work and kept us updated throughout the process. If we ever have to do another EV installation, we'd definitely go back with EV Charger Expert - don't look anywhere else and give Kirill a call!

Fantastic experience with EVChargerExpert installing our Porsche Taycan EV charger. After connecting via Yelp, I submitted information about the project via email and received a quote which included city permits. We scheduled a site visit then installation. Our garage is a separate building from our home and the project entailed installing a new sub panel, running the line through a crawl space then underground to the garage and installing a NEMA 14-50 outlet, as well as mounting the charging unit. Communication and quality of service were excellent. Thank you Kirill and Aaron!

After suffering through a few weeks of using just a regular wall plug to charge my new EV (and, like most of us, I'm not even driving much right now!), I decided it was worth it to get a level 2 charger installed.  I found EVChargerExpert on Yelp, and I liked that installing chargers is their specialty, and they had a lot of great reviews.  The reviews were spot on, and they were great!

I had multiple conversations with Kirill, who handles the business and scheduling end, and he helped me to figure out which charger made the most sense for my situation.  I'm in a condo and have only a 100 amp panel, so I had limitations to what I could put in, but we wound up going with the ClipperCreek HCS-40 along with a load management system to ensure that I'm not overwhelming the panel or impacting what's available to our place.  So far it's working great, getting the full amperage (37-38 miles per hour vs. the paltry 4-5 miles per hour with the regular outlet) and not causing any issues.  Instead of having to charge as soon as I'm home, I can wait to start until midnight and still be full by morning.  Kirill also made sure to point out all of the potential incentives for going EV.  

The install was done by Erin, and he did great work.  The setup of the meters made it challenging, but he figured it out, and the install looks great.  He was friendly and professional and followed all of the COVID protocols, and despite a long day (along with the meter setup, he had to run through a storage room before getting to my garage) he stayed to make sure that it was working properly and answer all of my questions.

Overall, I'm happy with the work they did, and a lot of the range anxiety that I had is gone.  Now I can put a lot of miles on the car and be back out again the next day instead of waiting 30 hours to get back to full charge!

Yes, hire EVChargerExpert. From scoping to implementation, this company is efficient and very pleasant to work with. They are prompt and communicate well.

Before they even came to our house, they asked the right questions about the job, developed a bid quickly then confirmed the estimate with a house visit.  In addition, their bid was half the cost of bids we received from other companies and it included permit costs. They completed the job on time and on budget and the work easily passed the city's inspection. I would hire them again, no hesitation.

Long story short - the guys at EVChargerExpert blew my expectations through the roof from beginning to end when they installed my Tesla wall charger.  Kirill was dead on in terms of getting the information and pictures he needed to give me a quote and Erin brought the technical skills to not only install the charger but have it look better than anything I could have imagined as I needed an installation that required just as much art skills as science skills.  Not only did EVChargerExpert beat out all of the other contractors I contacted in terms of price, they also excelled in terms of communication and professionalism.  Long story below if you even need it.

After speaking with three other installers (and having two come by the house) Erin showed up and had a super professional can-do attitude with a vast amount of knowledge about electric vehicles and chargers that I wish I had tapped into before putting in hours and hours of my own research.  Initially, I had him give me two quotes for installation of a NEMA 14-50 socket: one if it was installed right next to my garage, and the other if I had it installed at the end of my driveway (which was my preferred place).  

By the time Erin came by I was on the fence about just installing a socket versus putting in a proper car charger so he talked to me about the pros and cons of installing the NEMA 14-50 socket versus installing a Tesla or a JuiceBox wall charger and, in the end, I went with the Tesla charger.  Since I wanted something that would work esthetically with my house I was hesitant about having a box installed so far down the driveway, so Erin came by and explained what he proposed to do, which is exactly what put me very at ease in terms of hiring him.  Once he came to do the work Erin only needed access to the space and about four hours later he texted me to let me know the job was completed.

When I looked at the work he did it looked so much better than I imagined.  The work even included finishing and sealing all of the places he had to drill through to get the charger in the location I wanted (something the other electricians did not include in their quote and told me I would have to hire another person to do).  Erin then walked me through using the charger and explained how to troubleshoot if there were any problems with it in the future, especially since we have blackouts in my area.  Now that I have been using my charger I am so happy I paid a little more to get the charger where I really wanted it.  It has already made life a lot easier.

I know during these SIP days and times money may be tight as we all wait to see what will happen with our economy but I will say if you have been mulling over getting something like this done RUN - don't walk - to these guys because they are available and do spectacular work.  Thankfully, electricians are considered essential services for now.

Kirill and Erin were just fantastic to work with. I read the reviews of EVChargerExpert before getting our charger installed and almost couldn't believe how positive everyone was. But it's absolutely 100% true! Kirill was super prompt and helpful in answering all my questions (and I asked *a lot* of questions), and Erin did a fantastic job on the installation -- it's all very neat and tidy. They were also able to accommodate last minute changes to the installation, and dealt with getting inspections, etc done. They were amazing!

Highly, highly recommend them if you're getting a charger installed!

Very professional business from initial request for information all the way through passing the final (city of Berkeley) inspection.  I initially contacted them via email and heard back within the day.  They helped me figure out what kind of charging station I needed and scheduled my appointment efficiently.  The guys showed up on time and took care of all aspects of the installation.  Kirill followed up for the final inspection.  Overall, very happy with the service and the cost was competitive with others I considered.  Would recommend to others without reservation.

Fantastic crew! I needed a Tesla charger installed. I got a fixed quote based on a few photos and layout sketch and was explained everything related to permits and possible issues with capacity. They arranged permits with the city, scheduled installation, got everything installed in a few hours, then came out for the city inspector visit.

Strongly recommend, fantastic service!

Erin installed my Tesla EV outlet promptly and did so in very professional manner. We had a slight hiccup with the SF permit, which he was able to address seamlessly and schedule a follow-up time for the inspector to come out.  He was a pleasure to work with and explained the SF requirements and how he would address them.  I would highly recommend EVChargerExpert to anyone looking to install an EV charger.

Highly professional and hard working team!  I had a wonderful experience working with Kirill and Erin to get a NEMA14-50 outlet installed in my condo parking space.  A neighbor and I were both looking to install and EVChargerExpert gave us a generous discount for multiple installations.  We had hunted around for months and gotten quotes from other companies; EVChargerExpert had the lowest price and was the only company who offered direct connection to our PG&E Smart meter so that our energy consumption would be directly linked to our monthly PG&E bill.  For condo situations, most other places we checked had a system of paying their company for our energy use, then they would compensate our HOA each month for the energy consumed, since it would draw common area electricity. EvChargerExperts took care of all the necessary city permits for installation and ran wiring from our electrical room to our respective parking spaces. The NEMA 14-50 outlet came with a box around it that has a hole for a lock so that only you have access to it. My neighbor's space was next to the electrical room so he paid less than I did -about $2200. His installation was not difficult and was completed in less than a day. My space was over 200 ft. away, clear across the garage, so my cost was just under $3800. My installation was very challenging due to preexisting material on the ceiling that they had to scrape off and all the pipes, so it took a little longer than a day. Erin and another worker tried their best to get it all done in a day, putting in ten hours of work, but it was past dinner time and I encouraged them to go home and rest. So Erin came back the next day for a couple hours and finished up. The final payment was for the quoted amount and I gave Erin a check that day. He was very nice about answering any questions and checking to make sure everything was in working order before he left. He even offered to help me install any wall mounts, but I didn't have any. Erin was very polite, friendly,  and a hard worker.  A couple days later, Kirill came for the electrical inspection with the city inspector, made sure that I had everything I needed and gave me copies of the city electrical permit.  Before he left, Kirill and I had a fun chat about chargers and EVs. It is obvious that much hard work went into establishing a high quality business and both my neighbor and I said their work was worth every penny.  Kirill also seemed to care about helping us save money by sending us info on grants and rebates. I got the $800 PG&E rebate. If you are looking for a company that cares about the quality of their work and will give you a great experience, EV ChargerExpert is the company for you.  I know that I can always go to them in the future should I have any questions or needs, and it is a nice feeling when you feel a genuine bond with a company because they really care.  I did a lot of research before going with EVChargerExpert so I can save you time: just go with them!

Everything they said they would do - they did. The day of install went smoothly. From set up to clean up... and follow up with city permits - everything was exactly what customer service should be. Thank you Kirill, Aaron and the entire EVCharger team. Job well done!!

Kirill and Erin know the electric vehicle landscape inside and out.

From the start, Erin talked us through tricky cable routing and charger positioning, guiding raw guesses from us into a coherent plan. Their bid was very reasonable, and the turnaround time to get started was phenomenal.

Erin also cheerfully dealt with several unexpected circumstances with calm and poise, and laid down a beautiful install. Kirill came out for the inspection, and while waiting chatted through an extraordinary knowledge of the industry. Both Erin and Kirill made sure we were aware of all the rebates and incentives available, and left us with a great install and a great working knowledge of the ecosystem.

Kirrill and Erin were total pros. They handled the permitting, scheduling, and installation with ease. A lot of the other EV installers either won't return your call, or don't do a complete job with permitting. These guys handled the full operation and were responsive the whole way.

5 stars, perfect install of my Tesla wall charger. Thanks guys.

Krill and Erin did a fabulous job with my Level 2 charger installation.  Prompt reply to my inquiry, they worked with me to determine the right solution. The installation was quick and easy. Erin was very clear about what I could expect and delivered as promised. Took good care to be safe. Everything from start to finish was done in about a week.  Very happy with my new charger and with my experience with EVChargerExpert. Highly recommend.

We had an easy no hassle professional experience with Kirill and his team. I received several quotes from different companies and Kirill's was the only one to include the cost of the permit in the quote. His pricing is also very competitive. Installation was easy and done professionally. The permit process was completely taken care of by Kirill, I just needed to be present for the inspection about 1 week later. Highly recommend!

I found EVChargerExpert on Yelp to install a Tesla Wall Connector to charge my EV. I have an older home with an electrical panel that is maxed out. EVChargerExpert was able to install a Load Management Controller so that I can charge my EV with Tesla Wall Connector without a more costly upgrade of my existing electrical panel. Kirill was very responsive. He provided an itemized quote and detailed installation process within one day after I gave him the photos and information of my electrical panels. Everything to be done was explained clearly and in detail.

Erin came out to do the installation. He was very professional and friendly. He did a very meticulous installation. The Tesla Wall Connector is located on the opposite end of the garage from the electrical panel. Erin was able to lay the conduit pipes pretty much all hidden behind  a beam and tucked in the corners of the garage. It was a very clean installation. They also took care of the permit and inspection process.

I would definitely recommend EVChargerExpert if you need to install a charging solution for your EV.

THE BEST OF THE BEST!
Got our Tesla 3 delivered a month sooner than expected so in a rush to get a home charger installed.  We got bids from 5 different companies to do this job (including vendors Tesla recommended). Kirill with EVChargerExpert not only responded to our bid request immediately but did the most thorough onsite inspection to formulate the best cost effective plan to deal with our max'd out electrical panel.  His team's EV charger and electrical expertise was incredibly impressive and they responded to any questions we had along the way within minutes.  Not only was their bid the most reasonable, it was the only one that included all necessary inspections and they were able to complete our installation the fastest as well.  Communication throughout this process was incredibly thorough, pleasant and concise.  

Erin needed five hours to install our charger and DCC regulator.  During that time he made sure to coordinate with us before turning off our electricity to the house to connect the EV unit, met our need of where we wanted the unit placed and brought in all 3 of our garbage cans from the street just so he could clean everything up when he was done.  Then Erin insisted we test out our new charger, while he was here to make sure everything was in perfect working order before he left.  Erin took the time to gave us tips on how to extend the battery life in our car.  

Kirill sent us links to make sure we knew about all the rebates we were entitled to. This morning Kirill met with the city inspector here to get our work approved and permits signed.  The inspector was impressed with the quality of their work too.  This company truly cares about making their customers happy and goes above and beyond any chance they get.

We've hired numerous contractors to do various work on our house over the years but we have to say that EVChargerExpert team EXCEEDED our expectations in every possible way!  Kirill and Erin were a complete joy to deal with and EVChargerExpert is the best company we've ever hired.  They took care of everything expertly for us so this process was a breeze.  We couldn't be happier with the finished results.  We give EVChargerExpert the highest possible recommendation for all of your EV charging installation needs!

Recently got a Tesla Model 3 and we were panicking about getting a home charger installed. After looking around, Kirill reached out and said he could help us out within a few days (we were close to delivery date so we were happy to hear that!).
Disclaimer: I know nothing about charging or what's best, but Kirill was able to answer my questions and concerns. He was so patient even though we were going back and forth...sometimes even late at night, sorry Kirill!

He recommended that I go with a NEMA 14-50 after I sent him pictures of my breaker and panel, and because I live in a townhouse community it probably was best to get the NEMA outlet. We were sticklers about getting the Tesla Wall Charger so Kirill drafted up a quote quickly, though his recommendation was still a NEMA (cheaper and easy to install), we took his advice upon seeing the price difference (over $400).

When Erin came to install he noticed that we were already set up for EV charging, just needed the outlet! He called up Kirill and we were told that instead of paying $1k, we would just pay around $400! That totally made our day and Erin was done within 2 hours (he went and got the supplies and then got to work).

He did a clean job and now we can charge at home! Thanks EV Charging!

You can stop your search right here!! From my first search on Yelp I kept circling back to EVChargerExpert not only based on the reviews but also on the interactions with Kirill.  He replied to my request within an hour or so by getting details (with photos) of existing service and then providing a detailed estimate.  When I received my JuiceBox Kirill immediately set up an appointment for installation.  On the day of, Erin came to our home and carefully took a look at the job with various recommendations for location.  When he encountered a problem with the existing service he pointed out the problem as well as a recommended solution.  Throughout the day Erin kept me up to date as to the project's progress.  His work was very neat (I worried when I could hear the banging all for nothing).  Other businesses did not get back to me so be careful in your search.  As I say, your search can stop right here.

If you want your vehicle charger installed the right way there is no better choice than EVChargerExpert. This company is fantastic and their work is top notch. Some of the other companies never mentioned the need for a permit, but Kirill from EVChargerExpert did and secured the permit from the city within a day. You'll pay a little extra for the permit to make the install legal, but it is worth the peace of mind to know it was done right. You don't want to go cheap when it comes to the safety of your home and family. Kirill is professional and a nice guy as well. I'm a very happy customer.

EVCharger Expert was 1 of 3 companies that my mid-size SF condo building considered to install EV chargers in individually owned parking spots (8 out of 40+ owners wanted to install a charger in their spot). The work was spread across 2 separate levels of the shared garage and all the spots were a decent distance from the building's electrical room. Kirill's team ran wires in conduit piping from each parking spot to the relevant owner's electrical meter, along with individual load management controllers to regulate the electricity usage since none of our individual condo electricity panels had enough capacity to handle an EV charger. This installation method allowed us to avoid installing shared chargers, which would be hard to manage and cost-prohibitive in terms of tracking and billing for individual usage.

EVCharger Expert's quote made the most sense with respect to cost. In addition, EVCharger Expert was the most flexible in terms of working with 8 different owners, who had different preferences on installation set-up (e.g., hardwired chargers vs. an outlet for a portable charger) and charger models. Kirill answered questions from individual owners and revised quotes multiple times when owners changed their minds about installation details.

EVCharger Expert hired a specialized sub-contractor to do the core drilling work needed to efficiently get the wires to the lower level of the garage. Erin did a great job with the main installation work. He and Kirill left the electrical room and broader garage in a very clean state, and the owners have been pleased with their work. I would hire EVCharger Expert again for similar work.

Super happy with the professionalism and work by the EV Charger Experts team for installing my NEMA 15-40 outlet right where I asked, up to code. I bought my house a couple years ago and the attic space is extremely small or blocked right where they needed access to my main panel. They stepped back, came at it from a different angle, and got the difficult job done at the price promised.

I was super happy with their communication throughout the whole process. They explained my options and suggested some ways to save money without undermining the quality of the job. They took care of the permits for me with the city and dealt with the city inspection after the job. If you are in the greater Bay Area, you really should use these guys.

These guys are the best. Lovely people, super knowledgeable, reliable, punctual. Great business run by great people. I've called them twice now to help diagnose a problem with my charger (which they didn't install but were happy to help anyway). First time turned out I had a melted breaker, second time a failed component in the charger itself. Both times, they were methodical, thorough and generous with their time. If I ever need to install another charger, they'll be my first call for sure.

Kirill and Erin are an absolute godsend! I purchased a Tesla Model Y back in March, and was thinking I could get by utilizing Superchargers and 110V outlets. I was definitely wrong. I finally decided on getting a Level 2 charger installed in my assigned parking space in our condominium complex to make my life a bit more easy. I took the time to poke around and get quotes from a few reliable electricians and EV charger installers. I came across EVChargerExpert and do not regret it. They were by far the cheapest quoted price, by several thousand dollars. Kirill reached out and gave a very accurate estimate, and explained the entire process. The next week, Erin came and did such an amazing job over a span of two days to finish the project. The project was clean, professional, and they both had GREAT customer service. They explained the entire process from beginning to end. Fast forward approximately 3 weeks. Kirill reached out and scheduled and appointment for the inspector to come out to review the work done. Obviously it was a pass! I didn't even need to be home for the projects. They understood that we were busy, and couldn't stay around. Erin was punctual, gave his opinions, but did not upswell anything! If I need another Level 2 charger installed. You bet you a** that I will be calling EVChargerExpert!

If you are looking for technician of EV charger installation, this is the right place. I would highly recommend EVChargerExpert!

Erin and Kirill helped me to install my EV charger about 6 months ago. They provided excellent customer service and are absolutely knowledgeable.

My case was a little bit more complicated since I live in a Townhouse. The parking spot is in a indoor parking garage which is also consider a common area. That means I have to get approval from my HOA. Erin gave me helpful advise on how to get it done. Therefore, I have to say Erin's knowledge is beyond a technician/electrician. He also reply my message and email quickly. The price is also fair.

Everything is working just fine so far. I really appreciate their help.

Overall I am very happy with the results and highly recommend this company for EV charger installation.

I have requested quotes from 10 elctricians and unfortunately nothing matched EVCharger Expert (they weren't actually on my list). Kirill was referred to be my neighbor (I live in an apartment complex and I had to deal with HOA B***S*!T). Since I was so desperate to have a charger installed, I just went with it. And boy, I was glad that I listened to my neighbor and went with their service. Response time is phenomenal (even late at night). Kirill will give you all the information needed to make things go smoothly and he will charge you a very fair price (SERIOUSLY FAIR). Once booking is done, he's main guy Erin is a top notch tech. He will explain the procedure and will update you on the things he does. Over all, I am very happy and very much satisfied with their service. I highly recommend them to do any electrical installation and for sure will receommend them to all our neighbors since they are now following suit on buying electric cars too.

Thank you so much Kirill and Erin. I will give you 10 STARS but YELP.com would only let me do 5. You will definetely be hearing back from me again in the future. Thanks again.

Fast efficient responsive and reasonably priced. What more do you want from a contractor?  Communication was great. Got the estimate through texting and sending photos. Everything pre appointment handled this way. Got a quote online. Signed it online. Scheduled the work which done quickly and efficiently. Got the final invoice online. Only hiccup was scheduling the city inspectors to sign off on the permit (not Contractors fault).  But Kirill came back two weeks later and waited in my driveway two hours until the inspectors arrived and signed off the permit. Thanks!

(The inspector commented to us that they had come up with a cool solution.)  They are licensed engineers and electricians and advised us on the best option for our charging equipment, as well as on the placement of the line and amperage of the electric outlet and lines.

When my wife told me she found EVChargerExpert to install an outlet for our new Tesla, I told her it was marketing trickery. I was sure we'd be duped into paying a premium because they were marketing their business as EV Charging specialists. We just need a regular electrician that'll charge regular prices to install an appliance outlet, I said.

Well I was wrong. These guys are actually priced slightly lower than the other quotes I got from regular electricians.

The process from initial contact was easy, thorough, and efficient. Erin was punctual, incredibly pleasant, and his work was clean and quick.  When we had an issue a few hours later (completely my fault) with one of the breaker circuits, Erin was quick to pick up the phone and help out. It's clear that customer service and pride of work is top priority for these guys so it's incredible they don't charge more than they do.

Excellent, experienced experts who have installed an extraordinary number of EV chargers.  They helped with design and help with choice of charger and then made it easy with taking care of the permitting process.  I am very, very satisfied with the installation.

Kirill and Erin did a fantastic job. They were punctual, quick, clear in their communications, and flexible. I made several mistakes during the process and they were extremely gracious and polite working around them. I would call them again without hesitation.

This team knows exactly what they're doing and they were a pleasure to work with. I requested a quote on Yelp and got a reply in minutes. Kirill walked me through gathering all the information he needed (mostly photos of all the panels) and showed up a couple days later for an on-site evaluation. He talked me through the little decisions that made the job a lot easier and explained the entire permitting process (which he took care of for me). Erin arrived within a week for the installation, got it done in an hour, and taught me a few things about my home electrical service while he was there. They're both solid, knowledgeable, and super responsive. Highly recommend them to anyone who needs a charger installed.

Kirill and his team are simply great. They handled each aspects of the process very professionally and most importantly for me.. super fast. I wasn't expecting that it would have been so easy to install a residential Ev Charger. I am very glad I found this company. Thank guys!

Kirill and Erin thanks for the great install job and more. We definitely hit a few hiccups her and there but you two addressed it very professionally. Had a Tesla Wall connecter installed for the home in a  very strict San Francisco city where you need to get inspection done as well. They did a good job during install, I only wish they told me that the first visit was just a consultation to see and not to actually install. I had to take a day off work then rush back to work. During install everything was great, lots of wiring involved and work looked great. Even installed a motion sensor light for me during the process too as I had the box sitting around. We had some issues with inspection not from their install but from our in general house wiring and they did a great job giving me a quote to fix that and was really fast doing that too. They both were there every step of the way. I even had a breaker blow out for the charger and they came out within a day to get it addressed. Faulty part but install was not the issue. Overall I can tell both Kirill and Erin do care for their customers. They'll even make the drive during traffic hour and odd times to take care of me. Once I need another charger installed for my next home I will reach out to you again. Thank you both of you.

They made everything fast and easy. Got the quote online, signed online, then they set up an appointment right away. I think Erin came out the next morning. He was very punctual, professional, completed the work in the time window allotted.  Gave a nice how to afterwards to make sure I had some background with the Tesla charger.  Left the work area very clean afterwards. Kirill arranged for the city permit, and the inspection appt. Came to meet the inspector, emailed me a copy of the permit the same evening. They really took care of everything.  And Kirill was sure to send me links for any rebates I qualified for, which was really above and beyond. Would highly recommend! (I also gathered 4 quotes, and their pricing was competitive)

These guys are wonderful. They installed a Tesla Charger to our deeded parking space in our condo. They work diligently with HOA to get approval for the work. They are punctual and very professional. I would highly recommend this company especially if you live in a condo or apartment. They can do the work where other electricians that I have called said that it is impossible.

We contacted EVCharger Expert to have them install a 240-volt outdoor charger at the top of our driveway, located approximately 45 feet from our electric circuit box. They responded to our request within 24 hours, Erin came to our house to inspect our location shortly thereafter, and he provided us with a detailed, written estimate within a day. Because this was an outdoor installation, they also recommended a contractor who could dig an 18 deep trench for the electric conduit (who we paid separately at a reasonable price).

The guys (Erin and Kirill) worked with the city of Berkeley to obtain a work permit and scheduled the installation work within a couple of weeks. Because we requested that the trench follow the contour of an existing pathway, it was not dug in a straight line from the circuit box to the charger site. So Erin (who performed the installation) had to be creative in his use of some bendable conduits within the trench. Not only was he a good problem-solver, but we found him to be responsive (patiently answering a lot questions), efficient, communicative, friendly, respectful, and hard-working (the project was completed in a day). While planning out the project, he considered aesthetics as well as convenience, and the end result was an attractive ChargePoint EV station. When we discovered a couple of days later that our dishwasher was not working, Erin returned to diagnose the problem and replace a breaker at no charge. Finally, the guys were able to schedule the final inspection within days of completing he job.

We would recommend working with Erin and Kirill to anyone who wants to install an EV charger at their house, for all the reasons described above. They are highly professional and easy to work with, and what more can you ask of skilled service providers?

I didn't actually work with them, just asked for a quotation ... but Kirill spent a lot of time on the phone educating me and saying he didn't recommend spending the money (because our house is old and it would be very difficult and costly). Based on that limited experience I did get the sense they are knowledgeable and high integrity.

Kirill and Erin were wonderful. The service was professional, detailed and prompt. They were responsive to questions and were spot on with their advice. I could not have asked for better service. They installed a charger in the time they estimated, took care of the inspection and their customer service is second to none. Thank you!

Working with EV Charger Expert was an excellent experience. I got the permit myself, but Kirill handled all the paperwork's arcane electrical questions very quickly and completely. He also has been extremely responsive to all of my many questions, helping me understand the process, what needed to be done for our situation and why. Likewise, our installation, handled by Erin, was equally smooth -- despite a very tight installation space and some other constraints. He was diligent, courteous, neat and thorough. I understand EV Charger Expert's stellar reviews; they deserve them. Highly recommend!

the owner (kirill) personally stopped by our house for ~30 minutes to take some measurements and offer us a (free) estimate with respect to the cost and level of work the project entailed.

we found the quote to be both competitive and thorough, with kirill graciously answering any questions that we had regarding the installation and offering us various alternatives to shape the job around both our aesthetic and financial needs.

we pulled the trigger on the quote, and when the installation day came around, kirill's colleague (erin) arrived on time and was able to complete the project in a matter of hours.

prior to the scheduled installation, kirill preemptively scheduled a permit inspection to be done by the city (knowing the city was delayed a few weeks due the the number of inspections it had backlogged).  this allowed for the project to be completed / reviewed by us / approved by the city within a ~week of the installation date.

after a job well done, kirill reminded me to fill out a pg&e rebate ($500) for our clean energy vehicle, which i just submitted.

all in all, a great overall experience - very knowledgeable (and friendly) staff, i would not hesitate to recommend kirill and erin for anyone looking for a similar project.

EVChargerExpert has done an excellent job to install an EV charger for me. When I requested installation quote around internet, it was very busy time of the year. Not every electrician company responds to your request, or could do an installation for you quickly. Kirill responded me in couple hours. He provided me every detail, answered all my questions, and most importantly, quoted me the most reasonable price. Once we confirmed contract, he sent Erin to finish the installation in two days.

Erin is a professional and very friendly electrician. He concerns for his customers and try to visit me during my most convenient time. He installed NEMA 14-50 outlet for me very well and quickly. He also educated me some useful home electricity knowledge and tips of charging my car.

In the end, it was a perfect decision to have EVChargerExpert to install my EV charger outlet. I definitely recommend it!

We enjoyed working with Kirill and Erin at EVCharger Expert.  They got the job done quickly, for a fair price, and the work was great.  I initially had a problem reading my main panel (the label was missing) and Kirill came out to our property at no charge to look and get the information he needed.  Our old sub-panel wasn't grounded properly, but Erin was able to fit us in several days after he installed the charger and make sure the sub-panel was safely grounded.  It was great to have them come do work and leave our house safer than when they found it.  Very highly recommend.

Kirill and Erin are excellent in all respects.  Yesterday, Erin installed my Tesla Wall Connector in our garage.  He is a skilled electrician and did an absolutely masterful job on the installation at a very fair and reasonable price.  Prior to selecting EVChargerExpert, I solicited estimates from numerous other supposed ev charger experts. One of these supposed experts advised that I needed a brand new main electrical panel installed at a cost of over $5000, another wanted to run the connection from a sub panel on the second floor to the garage on first at a cost of over $3000, and yet another advised that I should replace the oven so they could use that circuit for the wall connector. As Kirill advised, and Erin showed me yesterday, none of that excessive additional work was necessary.  If you need an EV Charger installed, look no further and retain EVCharger Experts.

I reached out to 5 Bay Area EV installer companies and EVChargeExpert was the best! Professional, great job and stand by their install. The install was over 100 ft and in an apartment building. Many installers wouldn't take on the job or had crazy solutions.

I'm recommending EVChargeExpert to everyone who goes electric!

We met Erin from EVChargerExpert at a DriveElectric event in San Mateo, and they were knowledgeable and easy to work with through the entire process of doing a site visit to generate a quote, helping with charger selection and doing a very professional job of the install with no fuss.  They communicated well during the planning process so we knew what current rating we could expect to get, and did great work at a fair price.  

I would not hesitate to use them again.

My husband upgraded from a Chevy Spark to a Tesla. While we had an electric charger they were not compatible.  I reached out to several popular installers on yelp. Kirill from EV charger was quick to respond and ask pertinent questions. Erin then came to our home for a free consultation and evaluated our system. He made sure all circuits and panels were working well and then gave us our options. After being here at least 30 minutes he figured out a solution with an adapter that would cost us nothing. He could have sold us on many options , what do we know? Instead he  showed us a way to not use him! So honest! He was sweet, patient and friendly. I would highly recommend them for your EV installation. They were friendly, honest, knowledgeable and above-board.

I highly recommend EVChargerExpert to anyone who wants to have the wall connectors installed at their house.  After seeing Erin doing 2 installations in my neighborhood, I asked him to do one for me as well.  In term of price, their quotes were on par with the rest of the businesses on Yelp, and in some cases even cheaper as they didn't recommend me to buy unnecessary items or install extra panels.  I was not an electrician so naturally I was skeptical and nervous when it came to electricity.  But they allayed my fear by telling me that they always drew permits for their work and would meet with the inspector onsite once the job was done.  The job was done today and it looked great.  Erin would clean up the site, and show me how the charger worked and how to get rebate from PGE.  Kirill already scheduled an inspection for next week.  I don't have any reason to expect the job to fail inspection. But if it does, I will come back and update this review.

I had an outstanding experience with Kirill and Erin. Out of the blue, I received an email from Tesla telling me my Model 3 would be ready in a week. I panicked becauseI had already scheduled my install with EV Charger about a month later than that. I immediately called Kirill and asked if he could move up the install of my NEMA 15-40 charger sooner. Within an hour, he emailed me back telling me he'd moved up my install to the day after I took delivery of my Tesla. Worked out perfectly!  These guys are so professional. Erin did the actual install and showed me how to charge the car. He left no mess or debris behind. Kirill came out and talked with the SF city inspector and got the work signed off.  They answer emails quickly.  They communicate extremely well and never leave you hanging. They also really know their business, especially in SF with a lot of old houses and electrical systems.
I was so lucky to find these guys. You shouldn't think twice if you have a new EV--these guys are best in business.

Kirill and Erin were excellent. Coordinated with Kirill to schedule a NEMA 14-50 install within a week after initial contact. Erin came to do the install the morning I was getting my EV and he was done in 2 hrs! (Including time it took for him to get the right supplies!) Erin was responsive and helped with all questions I had after the install and they scheduled the final inspection to be done within a couple days. The entire process was easy and quick. These guys know what they're doing and id highly recommend them.

Worst customer service. I am not sure how they got good reviews. Asked for a quote for a straightforward electrical job that should around $3K. They asked for pictures of the equipment that needs services and details which I provided. He responded saying they can do the job and one of the theirs techs will contact me. Crickets..... I followed up with them recently and got a response saying that now they don't provide that service. What a waste of time.

Very courteous communication, super-fast scheduling and solid service at a reasonable price. They uninstalled our charger (we're moving to Minnesota) and set the wiring up so that the people who just bought our house will have a simple time installing a charger of their own. We'll definitely be recommending them to the new homeowners.

After driving the available options, we chose a Chevy Bolt, which we absolutely love. We researched and ordered a Siemens charger, then began looking for an installer.  We picked the right one. EVChargerExpert was terrific. Kirill was extremely responsive and clear. Scheduling was prompt. All the details were flawlessly executed, from permitting through installation (Erin, the electrician was great) and inspection. We are delighted to give them an outstanding recommendation.

Kirill was very fast in his response at every stage of the process.  He obviously knows his stuff and is very informative.  Erin listened to my preference for where the nozzle was fixed to the house so as not to protrude into view, and he found a way to do that.  They did a great job and I will recommend them to anyone looking to have an EV charger installed.

This company is impressive - from its thoroughness to its follow up to its honesty.  I recently purchased a Tesla and wanted to explore charging options.  EVChargeExpert asked for information upfront in order to provide a quote.  The directions on providing the needed information was clear and it was a straightforward process to upload the photos.  Within hours, I received a detailed quote from the company's owner.  In addition, I asked some questions and he responded promptly, agreeing that there was another option for charging my vehicle that was less expensive for me.  This option resulted in no profit for his company, yet he didn't hesitate to suggest I try it.  In this day and age, concern for the customer is rare.  Meanwhile, an installation company recommended on the Tesla website is pushing me to select their installation option AND I have yet to receive their quote - even though I contacted them before I contacted EVChargeExpert.  Again, this is a very impressive company.

I called based on the positive Yelp reviews and was not disappointed. These guys are the real deal -- total pros from start to finish. After submitting a few photos on paper, Kirill came to measure and discuss our options. He did not upsell us the Tesla Wall charger and helped us figure out a somewhat complicated installation of a NEMA 14-50 that would allow us to plug in our car outside of the garage without backing into the driveway. Erin came the next day on time and did a beautiful job installing the the outlet inside the garage, taking about 4 hours. However, it turned out that the Tesla mobile charging cable (which comes in only one short size) was still a tight fit and required lots of maneuvering of the car to get the charger in. So Erin spent another 2.5 hours buying supplies and remounting the NEMA 14-50 outside the garage so that it now fits easily! These guys also take care of all of the permit issues, which in Piedmont is a total PITA. Thanks EVChargerExpert!

I was very impressed with this two-man team from my initial inquiry through final inspection of the installed charging system, the first one in our condo building. Kirill, the Engineer, assessed our situation and needs and configured a system incorporating a load management controller at a price better than others I had received without that technology. (Others didn't even know about it or propose it as an option when it was perfect for our application.) These guys are on top of all the latest technologies and products because this is all they do. They really are experts, as the name says.  Kirill provided everything needed to satisfy both our HOA's and City's requirements. Erin, the hands-on electrician, was also very professional and very helpful in answering my questions not only about our system but about future options with the building based on the design of our electrical room and incoming power availability. Erin did a quality job with the installation and thoroughly cleaned up everything when he finished. The installation and City inspection were completed in a timely fashion with no issues. Communication and follow up were timely and accurate throughout the entire process.  Besides being experts in this specialized field, they are professional, priced right, and nice guys too. I highly recommend EVChargerExpert based on this experience.
