The Verdict
Evo Energy handles the basics well but stumbles on follow-through. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found a clear pattern: the actual installations (both solar and EV chargers) consistently earn praise, with 17 reviewers highlighting workmanship and zero complaints about the final product. One Oakland homeowner mentioned the installer stayed late to help hunt down the right adapter on Amazon when their Chevy Bolt arrived without a Level 2 cable. But the company subcontracts through QMerit on some jobs, and that handoff creates communication gaps. Three reviewers described waiting weeks for updates or never hearing back at all after leaving voicemails. When the project manager does engage (one reviewer singled out Esgar for being
I f you ' re okay chasing down status updates yourself , Evo delivers solid installations at competitive prices . But if you need proactive project communication , you ' ll want an installer who owns the entire customer experience .
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
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.
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.
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.

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.
