Feels like a fight at El Cerrito 99 Ranch to find a spot. Marina Bay is a mess (no trash can nearby), and half the chargers feel broken. Also, I usually have to wait for spots. I appreciate Fitzgerald shopping center charging. While hopping, I can usually find a spot immediately, and there isn't trash everywhere.

It's FINALLY open! 10 charging stations is amazing. Since no one still really knows about it, at…read moreleast finally being open, all 10 were available when I pulled up. The entrance is right before the light of the freeway entrance (San Pablo Ave & John Muir Fwy) and right after the Safeway parking lot entrance. To enter sucks, you still have to wait in the freeway/Safeway traffic before you can access the entrance. To exit, I will either have to take the freeway or cross over lanes to U turn. Morning and late afternoon traffic is brutal over here so... Just saw a car pull up from the Safeway direction, so it is possible to enter/exit through the Safeway parking lot. Still not pretty but definitely easier than the street. Everything about this place is the same as any other Electrify charging station... charging speeds, rates, etc. I hope these chargers will be well maintained without out of order stations as often as other locations. Just happy it's finally open with WAY MORE charging stations than that at Lucky. Not sure how long the no wait will last especially since there is no place to park while you wait for the next available charger. That may change once construction is done over here. We will see...

This is my third time using this station. It is easily accessible, conveniently open 24 hours, EV…read morestations are serviced well and typically available for use. My first time using the station was a breeze. I had no clue what I was doing, following the on screen directions simplified the process and made it easy to navigate. My second time using the station had an issue occur, the screen froze on my payment. I contacted customer service (contact information located at each station) and was able to connect with a real person instantly. She restarted the station, ensured me my card was released from any charges and I was able to use the station. I made the mistake on entering my payment first prior to connecting the EV pump to the vehicle. Oops! The directions on the screen specify this very clearly. YOU MUST PLUG THE CHARGER INTO YOUR VEHICLE FIRST THEN ENTER YOUR PAYMENT INFO ON THE SCREEN. The charging station is illuminated the entire use of the EV pump, detailing how much time remaining until you reach 80% and 100% charge, showing you where your current charge % is, how much your card has been charged so far, how long you have been at the station and the rate of energy being delivered to your vehicle. As a guest, you have the option to enter your phone number to receive a detailed text receipt detailing your transaction. The details are easy to view from your vehicle. I used the pump for 83 min, went from 37% to 90% and was charged $15.91 total using the Ultra Fast pump.

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.

I started ordering pizzas from here during Covid and we continued after because of how delicious and different the food is. They have delicious garlic bread as well. The service is amazing. I love the fact they allow omissions and substitutions on their orders. I hate cilantro and they were so kind as to remake my pizza when I didn't realize that it came with it. So very appreciative of that. Plenty of seating if you'd like to eat there. Family owned. Parking can be a little hectic, but it is worth it to be able to eat a delicious slice of pizza.

They have assigned seating now which was one of the things I was asking for. The other thing was reclining seats which they don't have still. However; the seats are new but still do not recline but they are comfy. The only downside is there's still not a lot of leg room which makes it difficult for seniors. The staff is way more friendly and considerate. The bathrooms are clean. The popcorn is still good. Since this theatre is in our home town I was hoping to make this our new go-to theatre but I'm not sure about the seats and the leg room yet. Good job on the improvement.
