I recently had a Tesla EV charger installed and had a great experience. Christian and Gio were easy to work with, kept me informed throughout the process, and were very transparent from start to finish. The final price ended up being a little higher than the original quote because they needed more cable than expected, but it was still much cheaper than the other companies I contacted. I was also really happy that they were able to come out the very next day after we finalized everything and get the charger installed. Overall, great quality work at a fair price. Would definitely recommend them.
Horrible services. Changed my wall charger installation appointment from 8am to 2pm for no reason. I Waited the whole day till 4pm still no show. Nobody contacted me for a late notice at all. Had to call back and find out what's going on. Being told: scheduling issue. My kid is still waiting for me at school to be picked uNever recommended this company's service.
240V EV Charger Installation -- Done Well and at a Reasonable Price in San Diego David was our installer and he was sharp, professional, neat, and tidy. He patiently answered all my rookie questions and helped me better understand our system. And every person I spoke to, texted, or emailed with at Faraday was pleasant, professional, and genuinely trying to help. Our condo presented a real puzzle -- multiple challenges stacked on top of each other: 1. A 100A unit limit (calculated by Faraday after examining our building's electrical panel), which capped the circuit at 40A max 2. Our circuit box is in the bedroom on the 2nd level; the charger needed to go on the 1st level 3. No direct access between the bedroom and garage 4. No adjacent open slots in the circuit box David assessed the situation and presented a clear, workable plan: rearrange circuits in the box, cut a few strategic holes in the ceiling and walls to route wire across the room, through the floor, and into the garage. What gave me confidence going in: Faraday had done the same kind of job for one of our neighbors here in the Kearny Mesa area back in 2021. They were kind enough to let me see how the project turned out. They gave it the thumbs up -- and there wasn't a trace of the installation process anywhere. Just a clean, finished result. David is in high demand and is a dedicated worker, so our schedule timing didn't initially align for his first visit -- that was our only hiccup. He came back for the installation about a week later and wrapped it up in roughly two hours. He was neat, tidy, and respectful of our home throughout. The holes he made were designed to be easy to patch and paint, and he left them clean and stable until I have time to get around to it. My wife offered him lunch while he was working; he said he'd rather finish the job first and take it with him -- which he did. (My kind of work ethic -- and honestly my vote too. ) TIP: If in San Diego, research the SDG&E Pricing Plans; we chose EV-TOU-5. We have not received a full bill yet, but we're hopeful charging during Super Off-Peak hours helps. Caveat: I'm no electrician; I may have mixed up Amps/Volts/Watts references :)
Contacted Faraday Electric through the Tesla recommendation website which connected me to their Texas office. Had a conversation with Victor, who told me what he needed (pictures of location for the ev charger and of my breaker box). Within an hour he sent me a quote and told me they have an opening the next day. Their tech, scheduled for a 2-hour window, apologized for being late. She realized that she had grabbed the wrong supplies for what I needed. I had no problem with it since my wife hadn't received her car yet. In all was happy with the work she did.
Updated Review: I'm updating my review because, although the initial installation of the Tesla Wall Charger was done well, the follow-up experience was disappointing. After just six months, the charger stopped working. When I called the company, they quoted me around $150 just to inspect it, and said it could cost another $200 or more to reinstall it. What they failed to mention is that the charger was still under Tesla's warranty. All I needed to do was contact Tesla via the 1-800 number or request service through the Tesla app. Tesla promptly sent me a full replacement unit that was incredibly simple to install--just a matter of popping off the faceplate and replacing it. I feel this company was not upfront with information and would not use them again due to the lack of honesty.
Pros: they were able to install my 100amp EV charger. Charger works as it should. Installer was knowledgeable and courteous. Con: seems they are just a middle man that outsources other electric companies to do their work in San Antonio. The estimated cost for the service changed 3 different times and more than doubled by the time the work was done. They had to come multiple times to finish the work as they didn't have all the materials needed. They had the charger model and knew the required amp needed besides the fact we spoke about it at the beginning. Return to finish work went from a couple of weeks to about a month. Luckily they left the charger usable during that time. For the price the work was not as clean I would have expected. Sent pictures about the work and no attempt was made to make it right. Sadly I will not be advising others to use this company.
This business is unprofessional about the work. I was asked to take photos about my main panel and sub-panel, along with the parking location. After providing such photos, the team decides to install the Tesla charger on the sub-panel (which is the mistake). After the installation, we constantly have issues with the charging process. While discussing with my friends and neighbors, we realized that if this were installed on the main panel, nothing would break and things would be much smoother. Realizing this, I contacted the business and they acknowledged this mistake, but required us to pay additional $350 for their mistake. I refused.
Not sure how this company has a 4.6-star rating... I contacted Faraday to get a quote on installing a Tesla Wall Charger in my garage. Within minutes of submitting pictures and information into their online application, I had a call from "Rudy" promising me they could come to my house the next day to install the charger and that they would even "waive" their normal pick up fee. I explained that I wanted the job permitted and told him that I had some reservations about reviews that I had been seeing in Yelp regarding lack of follow-through. Rudy explained that there had been a hiccup with one of their personnel that was key in the permitting process, but that it was resolved. Based on his assurances, I said we could move forward, but only after they had secured the permit from my local jurisdiction. I paid extra for them to process the permit. A couple weeks later, permit in hand, we scheduled the job. Their electrician arrived on time, did the installation, and the charger worked as expected. I provided feedback at that time, that I wasn't totally jazzed about how they routed the conduit from the electrical panel to the charger. Specifically, instead of running the conduit 6 inches higher on top of the open joists of my garage, the conduit passed right next to the rail of my garage door opener. The response made it sound like this was required, but having extensive contracting experience, I know that running conduit over the joists was not required by code and will only make replacing the garage door opener more difficult in the future. The real problem here is that they took my $$$ to permit the job, but never followed up on closing out the permit. Never scheduled an inspection and never responded to my communications after I had already paid. I guess their permit-scam is still ongoing and thankfully the local electrical inspector let me close out the permit without their participation.
Faraday Electric did a great job installing my new Tesla Universal wall connector in my Juno Beach Florida townhouse garage. The installer Luis was friendly, fast, efficient and his work was very concise. Happy to have found a Tesla certified installer that was available just in time and delivered as promised. Five Stars

From the estimate to the final work done, Faraday Electric was wonderful. I was having an EV charger installed in my garage. Victor called to discuss the estimate, which is the most detailed estimate I have every received, and answer any questions I had. The day of the install the tech showed up on time, explained everything he was going to do and did a clean job. If you are going to have an EV charger installed, I would use Faraday Electric. read more

The electrician has name Carlos is helping install the EV Charger today! I am living in the HOA community so I need extra documents to get their approval. If someone living in the HOA community house as me please have your approval before make appointment with them, I had canceled appointment and got charge $150 . But anyway, they did the great work on that. I am OCD person and I approve Mr Carlos work! He arrived on time (I don't want to said that he arrived Early than I thought)! Thank you so much! Also highly recommend Faraday Electric with the great quality and service. This installed cost me $375. No need to shop around at this time, if you living in OC just contact them! read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY THERE CSLB is EXPIRED- if you want a permit they will not be able to issue you one. Paid for one and still waiting.... hired them in September 2024 almost February of 2025 and nothing. The lack of communication is horrific the customer service is not great. I'm so done.... I call the State to verified info you are welcome to do as well. Here is the number - 1800 321 CSLB (2752) or visit their website www.cslb.ca.gov all you need is their license # 1046805 read more

I called + emailed around 22 competitors (I take my time), including Tesla Certified ones, non-certified ones, and even a few unlicensed electricians. Faraday gave the best quote by far- although I was wary about the low quote, the work proposal (13+ pages) they sent me prior to setting the appointment was extensively prepared/detail oriented. Our house is a tricky one, with an outdated panel in our backyard (as far as can it can possibly be from where we wanted the charger). Kevin was able to make it work by going through the crawlspace- he finished in less than 2.5 hrs without rousing our dogs too much, nor waking our newborn. Just look how clean it turned out. I didn't even mention the dead outlets in our yard installed by the previous homeowners, and Kevin pointed those out for us. Also, as I'm chasing rewards on different credit cards- Faraday was able to seamlessly accommodate my odd payment requests as well. No need to look elsewhere for licensed, Tesla Certified work, these guys are the best. read more

Shopped around for quotes and finally landed with Faraday Electric to install my Tesla wall charger. Requested a quote and received a fast response, spoke with Erick initially and he went above and beyond answering any question I had. After finalizing everything I spoke with Karol and it was nothing but professionalism from the top down. Very happy with the installation and company, will use them for any future needs. read more
A+++ for Faraday Electric! I recently reached out to several electricians to get a quote to get a Tesla Wall Connector installed on our driveway. I found these companies via the Tesla website. Some companies never called me back and others took several days to give me a quote. Donald from Faraday Electric answered the phone right away and asked me to text him some pictures of the house and the electrical panel. From there, he sent me a very detailed quote with the scope of work all outlined in a PDF within an hour of speaking on the phone. On top of that, he called me to follow up on his quote and told me they could send someone out the next business day to get it installed! I didn't agree right away because (1) my Tesla wall connector was still being shipped and (2) I wanted to hear back from some other electricians to compare pricing. After informing him of this, he said they could still send someone tomorrow to do all the prep work first (~45 min) and then they would send someone out again once the wall connector arrived (~15 min). He also said if I agreed to move forward with the appointment, they could reduce the quote by $100. This was enough to push me over the edge to schedule the next day appointment. The next day, Kevin, the electrician, came on time and started getting to work! Luckily, while he was at the house, UPS delivered my wall connector so he was able to get it all done right then and there! He completed the whole job in about an hour. I am just so impressed with how Faraday got everything done so quickly. I opted to pay more for them to get a permit for me through the city. So now I am just waiting for that to get done. They said it takes anywhere from 6-8 weeks to get the permit. For now, I highly recommend this company to get an EV charger installed! They are reasonably priced, VERY responsive, and do a great job! What more could you want?! read more
