    EV Charger Expert - Charger installed

    EV Charger Expert

    East Oakland

    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.

    It has been close to two months since the installation and one month since the city inspection, so…read moreI feel ready to give a fair review. I needed to install my own Emporia Pro charger with a load balancer and wanted to get it done quickly and with a permit. I reached out to EV Charger Expert. I communicated with two people from the company: Kirill, the sales manager, and Erin, the electrician/installer. **The Good** Kirill is very prompt and responsive. He always answers the phone and is willing to discuss the details. He clearly knows the intricacies of EV charger installations, even in more complex situations. He was able to schedule the installation very quickly, and the work was completed on time. The city inspection was done one month later and passed without any issues. So, my primary goal was achieved: I had my charger installed, permitted, and running ASAP. **The Bad** The cost of the installation was fairly high. I paid $2,450 for installation, materials, and the permit. Since I provided my own charger, I believe the labor and other installation costs represented the majority of that amount. For this price, I expected a very high-quality job. Erin installed and set up everything within one day. Two relatively minor problems occurred. If the company had handled these issues better, I would have given them four or even five stars. **1. The load balancer antenna** My charger includes a load balancer with a small antenna. The antenna is supposed to stick out from the metal subpanel so that it can receive a Wi-Fi signal. After the installation, the antenna was hanging through a large round hole in the subpanel. It looked unfinished and, in my opinion, was both unattractive and potentially unsafe. I could not convince the installer to cover the opening, so I had to do it myself. I made a trip to Home Depot, spent about $10 on parts, and made a simple cover myself. The antenna is now secure and the opening is properly covered. Please see the before-and-after pictures. **2. Stripped subpanel screw** During the installation, one of the four screws holding the subpanel door was stripped. I considered this a safety issue. I notified both the installer and the sales manager by SMS that evening, as soon as I noticed it. The installer called me back two days later and, to put it mildly, was quite rude. He told me that it was not an emergency and that they would take care of it on the day of the inspection. On the day of the inspection, Kirill did not have the appropriate replacement hardware. I suggested using a tap and a slightly larger screw to repair the stripped hole, but he declined. Once again, I had to make a trip to a hardware store, purchase a set of taps and screws, and repair it myself. To be fair, Kirill reimbursed me $30 for the cost of the screws and taps. In total, I made several trips to a hardware store and spent several hours fixing issues that I believe should have been addressed by the installer. **Overall** The installation was completed quickly, on schedule, and passed the city inspection without any problems. Kirill was also very responsive throughout the process. However, given the high price, I expected better attention to detail and better handling of the two relatively minor issues that came up. Neither problem was particularly difficult or expensive to fix, but in both cases, I ultimately had to resolve the issue myself. For me, the installation achieved its main objective, but the quality of the finishing work and the way the problems were handled left something to be desired. For these reasons, I am giving EV Charger Expert three stars.

    I recently had an issue where my entire key set (key fob for apartment, mailbox key, and car keys)…read moreall fell down the trash chute. It was literally as I was about to head out so I couldn't even get back into my apartment. Good thing I had spare car keys and I was able to get my key fob replaced right away! Concierge was very helpful in that area! I also needed to replace my mailbox key and that also required a separate work order but Jeff the property manager of Atlas assisted me right away! He was able tuse his master key so I get my packages out of the mailbox! I am very appreciative of his help! Thank you to all the Atlas staff that help us with mishaps such as these!

    Hi, I tried to find Atlas Garage which is the parking garage owned by Atlas Apartments. I used this…read moreAtlas Parking garage last night on 13th Street in Oakland and they very specifically quoted it is $50 overnight. I thought this was very expensive for an average and not very nice area of Oakland. I put my car in the garage about 9 pm last night. The garage itself was clean and fine no problems. However when I checked out about 9 am this morning the bill was $71 and I called the attendant. The attendant explained that the $50 charge is only if you park your car at midnight and leave the next morning. He admitted that everyone complains but the management wont do anything about it. He said he sympathized with my position but said that no one in management will do anything about it. So we both smiled and I drove off. He was a good person. I don't like deceptive deals like this. They said $50 overnight. They did not detail any other considerations or time constraints or that there would be other fees. Sure $21 won't break me either but it is the principle. I would not rent apartments from any company that had deceptive practices like this and that didn't think they should do anything to fix it. I told the attendant I would never use this parking garage again. And he said he understood. Is that their business model to bilk their first time customer and to make sure that customer will never come back again and will certainly give them a bad review on Yelp? How bright are they? Jerks.

    Friday nights at OMCA is the place to be! It takes place in the summer starting from March to…read moreNovember every Friday night from 5 PM-10 PM. The museum offers half priced tickets that evening and its such a great deal! There is underground structured parking for $7, but also street parking as well. The museum offers 3 levels with influences on the history of California and specifically important times in Oakland. The bottom floor houses the nature and conservancy, which offers larger than life animal depictions. The second floor was my favorite since it showcases history through the years and it was like walking down memory lane. It'll be fascinating to see what they come up with in the years passed the 2000s and how we'll be remembered as a generation. The top floor is the art exhibit and installation, which provide a variety of artists and influences. On the bottom platform of the museum and the corridor leading to the outside is where the real fun begins! You're welcomed with live music and people from all walks of life jiving together on the dance floor. As the night went on more and more people were dancing and it was such a lively group! There's also a large line of food trucks from Off the Grid and there's such a variety of selections to choose from. I was really surprised and overwhelmed with all the great options, it was so difficult to just choose one! You really could quench your appetite with the endless possibilities! We had settled for a fusion of Korean, Mexican, and Indian! I was really excited because I'd never experienced that combination before and it was some of my favorite foods combined in one dish! There are also beers and wines available for purchase as well. I definitely had the best Friday there and I'll be back soon!

    I really wanted to enjoy the food at Friday Nights at the Museum because I love the music, special…read moreperformances, and overall atmosphere. However, the food selection just doesn't do it for me. So many of the options seem to be fusion dishes, and I'd love to see more straightforward, classic choices. I ordered nachos I can't remember the vendorand they felt like everything but chips and cheese. Some parts were warm, others were cold, and they just weren't enjoyable. I've also encountered some vendors who weren't very friendly. I enjoy the event itself, but I'd love to see more variety, including vendors serving familiar favorites without all the extra twists.
