I hired an electric company to put in a car charger. In order to participate in the EV pricing program it needed a 2nd meter, which needed a permit. The actual installation was a few hours. The permitting process went back and forth between city inspectors starting in September and didn’t get approved late January. The company didn’t fight anything, always did what they recommended and it still kept coming back with more “issues” and adjustments. The company said they’d never take a charger install job again in the city. It was ridiculous.
