Evo Energy runs a tight ship on the technical side. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found zero complaints about workmanship, with 17 reviewers specifically calling out the quality of their electrical work. One Oakland homeowner watched their installer not only mount a Level 2 charger correctly the first time but then spend extra minutes on Amazon helping find the right adapter for a Chevy Bolt that didn't ship with one. The installations themselves are clean and fast, often finished same-day. Where things occasionally wobble is coordination. A handful of customers mentioned unanswered voicemails or permit follow-up they had to chase down themselves, though when the company does respond, they schedule quickly and fix the issue. One reviewer noted a three-week delay through a subcontracting arrangement with QMerit, then praised the project manager once communication opened back up. If you're the type who sends one email and waits, this could frustrate you. If you're willing to follow up once, you'll likely get an installer who knows their stuff and leaves your garage looking sharp.
If you need a Level 2 charger installed and you don't mind nudging the company if they go quiet, Evo delivers clean work at competitive prices. Just keep your phone handy for follow-up.
Virginia L. hired Evo Energy to put a Level 2 charger on her Oakland ranch-style home and found the on-site team expertly professional, patient, and knowledgeable. The installer completed a neat, attractive installation correctly on the first visit and finished very quickly. The only snag came with the paperwork: Evo didn’t follow through on getting the permit signed by the City of Oakland, so she scheduled the inspection herself to move things along. Evo then scrambled to get an electrician to her house on short notice so the city inspector could sign off, and the permit was ultimately approved. What lingered as the most memorable part of the job was how the installer went above and beyond to help her connect a Chevy Bolt that hadn’t come with a Level 2 unit. The installer sat with her searching online for the right adapter, helped identify a safe (though pricier) Level 2 charger, and guided the purchase so the car would actually work with the new station. In short: a tidy, fast installation and a technician who did the extra legwork to make the charger usable — with only a minor administrative hiccup that the company corrected when pressed.
Nick K. chose Evo Energy after their bid came in significantly lower than other offers for a solar panel installation that also required moving the main electrical panel. He experienced smooth scheduling and clear communication from start to finish, and found project manager Esgar truly stood out — responsive, efficient, punctual, and courteous throughout the work. The installation proceeded without drama, and Nick ended up extremely pleased with both the price and the way the project was managed. What lingered most for him was how much easier the process felt thanks to Esgar’s hands-on coordination, making the lower bid translate into real value.
Josh S. tried repeatedly to reach Ron to discuss electrical work but found only silence. He couldn't get any replies to email or phone, so he never had the chance to judge Ron's workmanship. The whole interaction boiled down to a one-star rating driven entirely by an absence of communication—unanswered messages and no callbacks left him with no answers and no confidence.

Bryan P. waited about three weeks with no clear answer, then Ronald finally got back to him, explained what had caused the hold-up and moved quickly to get the job scheduled. The crew has started the installation, and he plans to update the review after it’s completed. He traced the slowdown to the subcontracting chain: Evo Energy is working under QMerit, which is the contractor Chevy uses for its offer, and that handoff contributed to the confusion and delay. The memorable detail: once someone explained the source of the problem, the company acted fast — but buyers using the Chevy-linked program should be prepared for potential multi-week pauses because of the QMerit subcontracting step.
Kate K. bought an electric car and hired Evo to install a dedicated wall connector at her home. She shopped eight electricians in the area and discovered Evo was the most affordable while also being easy to work with and consistently professional. She singled out Marcos, Eric, Ronald and Brian for handling the job smoothly and keeping communication straightforward. After comparing multiple bids, what stuck with her was that a local crew delivered a cost-effective, no-fuss installation she trusted.
Wendy W. hired the crew to install solar panels and an electric charger for her car at her home. She ended up with a solid, well-executed installation of both the array and the EV charger, and singled out Ron and his crew for their work. The standout detail is that the team handled the combined solar-plus-charger job smoothly — a clean one-stop install that won her full confidence.
Silvana 7 had Ronald install an EV charger for her Cadillac Lyric at home. She came away most impressed by the precision of his work — he handled the job professionally and demonstrated clear knowledge about the equipment. She plans to hire him again for future EV work and left with confidence that the charger was set up correctly and to her expectations.
Marcy G. hired the company to install an EV charger in her garage and ended up with a neat, straightforward job. She found the technicians professional, efficient, and easy to work with. Rather than leaving the inspection to her, the crew returned to complete it, which wrapped the project up cleanly. What stuck with her was the follow-through — they handled the inspection so she didn’t have to chase anyone down.

Rodney hired the company to install an EV charger at his home after they came out to prepare an on-site estimate and quoted a price that was lower than the two other bids he received. He found the crew easy to work with: they completed the installation for the quoted amount, the job went smoothly, and they returned for the inspection. The charger is working perfectly, and what stayed with him was that they honored the lower quote and followed through to the inspection, leaving no surprises.
Matt hired System Innovation to install a Tesla wall charger at his home and found the whole process worry-free. Their crew handled everything from the initial estimate to the final hookup, and they took charge of coordinating with the city so the proper permits and inspection times were in place. He appreciated how quickly they answered questions and how comfortable they were with the technical details, and their final price was notably lower than several other quotes he had received. He walked away with a correctly permitted, professionally installed charger and a bill that felt like a smart value.
