#178 of 678 scored in California by Solar.com Installer Score

How does Charged Up Evs compare where you live? Rankings are local; an installer that leads one city can trail in the next. See how they rank in your city →

Why this differs from star ratings: most five-star reviews say “great company” and stop, and star averages reward that. These category scores only count reviews with concrete evidence, weighted by recency and the reviewer’s track record. A company can hold a strong star average while specific categories score lower; that gap is usually where the real story is. Categories with more complaints than praise are the questions worth asking any bidder, not necessarily dealbreakers.

Where Charged Up Evs builds

County-by-county activity from CPUC records through May 2026.

What this data covers: *Counts on this page, including the totals up top, come from investor-owned-utility interconnection records (SCE, SDG&E, PG&E). Work in municipal-utility territory, such as LADWP or city utilities, and outside California does not appear here, so this company's true totals are higher than shown. Unlike the county rankings, this profile also shows counties below the 250-install ranking floor.

Charged Up Evs reviews: what customers say

An independent synthesis of published customer feedback across Google and Yelp, updated September 23, 2026. Green marks praise, amber mixed experiences, red complaints.

Sales & proposal integrity

Sales Integrity7.6/10

Reviewers describe a sales process that is generally clear and low-pressure, with installers taking time to explain options and project scope. Several comments also mention help with rebate-related paperwork and expectations up front.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear, low-pressure guidance. Reviewers say the owner explained options carefully and, in some cases, without a sales pitch. The sales conversations were described as informative rather than pushy. Representative review excerpt: "Mike Pesicka, owner of the company, surveyed our property and electrical power situation, carefully explained our options (no sales pitch), obtained the required permit and seamlessly got the work done."

Helpful rebate and install explanations. Reviewers report that the team broke down charging needs and explained the path from install through rebate submission. That kind of walkthrough appears repeatedly in the feedback. Representative review excerpt: "Mike took time to break down my charging needs and helped me understand everything from install to rebate submission."

Practical project fit. Some reviewers say the company handled both simple and more complex electrification projects well. These comments suggest the proposal stage was aligned with the work that followed. Representative review excerpt: "If you have an easy or complex electrification project, Charged Up EVs will likely float toward the top of your contractor options."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency7.2/10

Feedback on pricing and financing is mostly favorable, especially around helping customers understand rebate timing and paperwork. Reviewers also say the company was able to keep work within the estimated price in at least one case.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Rebate guidance was useful. Reviewers say the team helped them sort through rebate programs and timing, including what would be needed to submit applications. That support appears to have reduced confusion around final cost expectations. Representative review excerpt: "Mike helped me weigh the pros and cons of 3CE’s battery rebate program which would mean going to NEM3 or paying out of pocket and staying on NEM2."

Estimated pricing held steady. One reviewer reports that even after extra effort on the invoice and rebate setup, the work still came in at the estimated price. The same comment describes the price as reasonable. Representative review excerpt: "All that extra work and he was still able to do the job for his estimated price, which was quite reasonable."

Post-project rebate help. Reviewers also mention assistance after completion with obtaining rebates from local energy providers. That suggests the company stayed involved after the main install when rebate timing mattered. Representative review excerpt: "Even after completion of the project, he helped me out in obtaining my rebates from the local Energy Company."

Communication & coordination

Communication8.3/10

Reviewers consistently describe responsive communication and helpful coordination before, during, and after the job. Updates, handoffs, and follow-through are a recurring strength in the feedback corpus.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Responsive and helpful. Reviewers say the team was responsive, cordial, and helpful with advice throughout the project. This is one of the most repeated themes in the communication feedback. Representative review excerpt: "He was responsive, helpful, cordial, and gave me good advice before and during the project."

Clear wrap-up information. Some reviewers mention receiving a thorough follow-up email with the information needed for rebate applications after the job ended. That suggests organized handoff and post-project communication. Representative review excerpt: "And not only that, but when the project was wrapped up he sent a very thorough email with all the information we would need to apply for rebates."

Showed up and kept customers informed. Reviewers also report that the crew arrived as expected and minimized disruption while the work was underway. Those comments point to reliable coordination on site. Representative review excerpt: "Mike and his guys showed up as expected, did the work with minimal intrusion, and gave me tips on how to use the charger."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.6/10

Timeline feedback is positive overall, with reviewers saying the crew showed up when expected and moved projects through permitting and completion smoothly. Comments also reference permit handling and finishing the work without major delays.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Arrived when expected. Reviewers say the crew showed up as scheduled and completed the work with minimal intrusion. That points to solid day-of-job reliability. Representative review excerpt: "Mike and his guys showed up as expected, did the work with minimal intrusion, and gave me tips on how to use the charger."

Handled permitting smoothly. Some reviewers note that the company obtained required permits and completed the installation without complications. The permitting step appears to be part of the team’s standard coordination. Representative review excerpt: "Mike Pesicka, owner of the company, surveyed our property and electrical power situation, carefully explained our options (no sales pitch), obtained the required permit and seamlessly got the work done."

Finished cleanly and on pace. Feedback also mentions quick installs and a smooth wrap-up, including follow-up materials after completion. Those notes suggest the timeline was managed well from installation through closeout. Representative review excerpt: "And not only that, but when the project was wrapped up he sent a very thorough email with all the information we would need to apply for rebates."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship8.6/10

Reviewers give strong marks to the installation quality, professionalism, and cleanup. The feedback also suggests the crew was organized and able to address small issues as part of the job.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Professional crew behavior. Reviewers describe the crew as knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. That tone comes up consistently in the workmanship comments. Representative review excerpt: "Mike and his crew were knowledgeable, courteous and professional."

Clean installation work. Several comments say the install was clean and efficiently handled. Reviewers appear to associate the company with organized site work and minimal mess. Representative review excerpt: "He and his crew are awesome and made short work of a clean install."

Addressed extra issues. Some reviewers report that the team fixed a few other issues along the way while completing the main install. That suggests a practical, hands-on approach at the job site. Representative review excerpt: "He and his team did an outstanding job, were professional, and fixed a few other issues I had along the way."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support5.8/10

This category is more limited in volume than the others, but the available reviews are still positive. Reviewers mention troubleshooting help after the job, support when an inspector raised concerns, and assistance identifying a charger issue.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Troubleshooting after install. One reviewer says the company came out quickly and helped troubleshoot issues after the main project. That points to some post-install support when problems came up. Representative review excerpt: "I couldnt find anyone else to help but he came out to my place quickly and was able to troubleshoot some of the issues I was having."

Help with inspection follow-up. Reviewers report that the company appealed inspection issues and presented calculations to support the installation. In those accounts, the project moved forward after additional review. Representative review excerpt: "The inspector initially denied the permit, but Mike appealed to the City permit director, presented all the calculations and justifications for the safety of the installation, and the permit was..."

Diagnosed a faulty charger. A reviewer says the electrician helped identify that a charging issue came from a faulty charger. This suggests post-install diagnostics were available in at least some cases. Representative review excerpt: "My electrician couldn’t figure out what was wrong so I called Mike who agreed with my electrician that it was a faulty charger."

Bottom line: Across 96 substantive reviews, CHARGED UP EVS earns a 8.2/10 Solar.com installer score, with the strongest feedback centered on workmanship, communication, and clear proposal handling. Pricing and timeline feedback are also generally favorable, while long-term support and performance have fewer reviews and a lower score, making that the least-developed area in the corpus.

Important context: this chart shows investor-owned-utility records only. Companies that shift work toward municipal-utility territory (LADWP and city power departments) or other states will show declining bars here even while building steadily elsewhere, and 2025-26 records also lag real installation dates. Treat this as a partial window, not the company's full trajectory.

How we built this data

Methodology: Counts are residential PV interconnections in investor-owned-utility territory (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E) per CPUC Rule 21 public records through May 2026. Postal and name variants are merged. Municipal utility territory such as LADWP, Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Anaheim, and Riverside Public Utilities is not included in those CPUC counts. Counts show recorded installations, not quality ratings. Reported costs are self-reported on owned-system interconnections. No installer can pay for placement.

Who we are: Solar.com is a solar marketplace — we connect homeowners with installers and earn a fee when projects move forward. These rankings and scores are computed from public installation records and published customer reviews. No installer can pay for placement, and no installer — including those we work with — can pay to change a score.
