EV Charger Installation in San Diego
San Diego sits in SDG&E territory — a different utility from the PG&E and SCE programs that cover most of California — so the local picture is its own thing. A licensed electrician runs the dedicated 240V circuit, pulls the city building permit (San Diego's EV permit averages around $246, a bit more in coastal zones), and books the final inspection under Title 24. Most San Diego installs land between roughly $850 and $1,800, with a panel upgrade adding $2,800–$4,200 when needed.
