How does PG&E have the authority to regulate the instalation of EV charging? Do you mean they won't install a higher amp service panel like 200A instead of 150A?

If that's the case, it's not that crazy or unusual. While you used to be able to pay to upgrade your service panel, if everyone on the same block or segment of the grid all wants the higher service panel then it will require upgrades to the existing electrical lines and sub stations.

It makes a lot of sense to limit installing larger service panels to customers who will actual use it rather than haphazardly over provision the grid. But you can still easily charge an EV at 50A on a standard 150A or even 100A panel.

Either way, charging an EV on a 150A panel can still be pretty easy depending on what else is there. People think you need a 60A circuit to charge an EV, but even charging at 12A at 240V will give you well over 100 miles of charge overnight. My charger uses 32A and finishes charging my normal days in a little over an hour.
