If your chargers bill by the kilowatt-hour (most do), California requires them to be tested and certified before they can legally operate.

Most on-site certifications take 2-4 hours depending on the number and type of chargers. We'll provide a specific timeline during your assessment.
What's the cost?
Pricing varies based on charger type, quantity, and location. We provide transparent quotes after assessing your site.
Can you certify chargers remotely?
Most certifications require on-site testing. However, we can provide remote consultations and support for documentation and compliance planning.
