Installation was quick and easy, and the price reasonable. Several years later we had an issue with the breaker itself failing. One of their crew came to our house the morning I reported it and he immediately fixed it. No charge. The absence of issues is not the measure of great service. Stuff happens. It's the response that makes the difference. This one was right on target. Really appreciated!

My new EV came with a $500 EVgo credit. It's hard to use that credit around Berkeley: On the one…read morehand, it's clear that there are tons of drivers with credits like mine. On the other, the availability of public chargers is insufficient to meet the demand. As an experiment, I drove over to Whole Foods even though both chargers were shown as Busy on the EVgo app. I lucked out because the car at JANE was close to finishing. The driver backed out just as I was set to pull in, and I began my session with JANE. JANE worked as advertised even though I never got their pronouns (it/it?). I charged for almost a full hour and upped my range only by around 150 miles. This was a disappointment because I've been wondering whether it's possible to drive long distances, stopping off periodically for a fast charge. I was hoping for a full charge from close to zero in something like 30 minutes. It turns out that a 50kW charger is not what I need. After my charge, I got a survey from EVgo that asked about my time with JANE: "Thanks for plugging in at Whole Foods Berkeley - Telegraph with Jane. We want to make sure you have a great charging experience, so we're hoping you'll share your thoughts about your last charge with us." Usually I ignore surveys, but I made sure to fill out this one -- to let EVgo know that I am not a happy customer. I groaned when I saw the photos that EVgo uploaded to this Yelp page. The mountains in the background don't look like Berkeley. The happy humans in the photos don't remind me of the frustrated EV drivers that I saw lurking around Whole Foods. We definitely need more and better infrastructure.

Needed to install a charger for a new EV, and was told by two electricians that I required more…read morerobust service, that is, a new panel, that would cost anywhere from $6 to $8 thousand, which took some of the joy of not paying $5.50 a gallon. EV Charger Expert proposed installing a smart plug that would monitor demand, and should demand overtax the existing service, throttle back demand from the car charger. That cost $1550 plus a $600 smart plug. The work was done quickly and it worked for Night One. I'm happy.

Worked with "EVCharger Expert" to install a 240V outlet for an EV charger in my garage and a…read morededicated 20A outlet for an over-the-range microwave. Overall, the job was completed successfully, passed inspection, and avoided a costly panel upgrade. But there were also a few areas where the process could have been handled more proactively. What I appreciated: * Technical expertise & cost savings: My service panel is limited (90A), and other contractors immediately suggested an expensive underground service upgrade. Kirill performed load calculation and recommended using an Emporia Pro charger with dynamic load management. That solution allowed me to safely add both the EV charging outlet and the microwave circuit without upgrading the service panel. * Permits & documentation: They provided the required licensing, insurance documentation and handled the city permitting and inspection process. The final inspection passed without issue. * Responsiveness: Communication was generally clear via email regarding quotes, scheduling, and permit updates. Where I believe the process could improve: We encountered a major obstacle when it was discovered that the crawl space was blocked by a concrete foundation wall, preventing wire routing as originally planned. Initially, there wasn't a clear alternative proposed. I ended up suggesting routing the wiring through the ceiling instead. While the team evaluated and successfully implemented that solution, I would have preferred if alternative routing strategies had been proactively identified earlier in the process. I also want to acknowledge Erin's craftsmanship. When we ultimately routed the wiring through the ceiling, he carefully navigated around existing plumbing lines and made precise cuts to minimize disruption. The finish work was clean and well executed. In the end, the installation works well, passed inspection, and achieved the primary goal of adding EV charging without a major panel upgrade. I would recommend them for homeowners with limited electrical capacity, especially if dynamic load management is needed.

They had a vehicle in the showroom, however it was locked. When we asked if we could check out the inside, he told us that that one was not available for purchase and they just needed one to sit inside the showroom. My opinion that's not very smart to have a product that you can't show. When we asked if they had any that they could show us, he said the best he could do is we'd have to schedule a test drive. I'm already in town, I don't live in Berkeley, so makes no sense for me to have to go home and drive back on a different day. Horrible customer service, and I will not be even considering this product. If you are in the market for a vinbas, I highly recommend you choose another dealer than the Berkeley one.

They found the problem in the antic, some wires seemed to be poorly installed by previous electricians and almost caused a fire- so dangerous. They showed me the box and damaged wires- no one would ever know things could get so bad in an attic. They re-wired some things and installed new lighting fixtures and outlets- we were overdue. The Ogreena team was on time, very courteous, and explained the installation process clearly. They were also very respectful of my home, cleaning up after themselves. The new lights look fantastic, and they're super bright. The new outlets give me peace of mind, and hold a strong connection- we learned a lot about electrical safety and what to look out for. I would highly recommend them for any electrical work.
