EV charger installation in San Jose, California

San Jose housing and electrical panels

The variety here is wider than anywhere else we work. Eichlers in Willow Glen and Palo Alto-adjacent tracts have notoriously tight electrical rooms and radiant slab heating, which complicates conduit routing. Newer Berryessa and North San Jose builds typically have 200-amp service and dedicated EV-ready conduit already stubbed to the garage — in those, install time can drop under three hours.

What we see locally

North San Jose has heavy commercial and multi-tenant office density, and workplace charging is where we do most of our commercial work in the city. The recurring pattern is a property manager who needs eight to twelve ports but has no spare service capacity. Dynamic load sharing on a shared feeder almost always resolves that at a third of the cost of new service.

Permits and inspection in San Jose

Permits run through the San Jose Building Division. Residential EV charger permits are commonly handled online, though plan check on commercial multi-port projects takes longer and is worth starting early. We handle submission and inspection.

What we install in San Jose

All three of our units are available here, and the right one depends on how long the vehicles sit parked rather than on the property type:

  • AX-Home 40 — 9.6 kW Level 2 for houses and townhouses. Roughly 30 miles of range per hour, which fills any commuter EV overnight. $1,400–$3,200 installed.
  • AX-Fleet 80 — dual-port 19.2 kW for workplaces, apartment parking and light fleet depots, with load sharing and per-driver billing.
  • AX-Rapid 180 — 180 kW DC fast charging for retail and public sites, with CCS1 and NACS cables. Quoted per site; utility timelines dominate the schedule.

Areas of San Jose we cover

We work throughout San Jose, including Willow Glen, Almaden Valley, Berryessa, Evergreen, North San Jose, Cambrian Park, Rose Garden and Santa Teresa.

Rebates: San Jose is in PG&E territory, so utility make-ready programmes may apply to commercial and multifamily projects. Note that the federal 30C tax credit expired on 30 June 2026 — see our current incentives page for what is genuinely still available.
