A group of small business owners in San Jose are complaining that PG&E completely short-circuited their businesses and cost them tens of thousands of dollars.
PG&E cut power to The Market Place shopping center just north of downtown San Jose in order to install charging stations for electric vehicles.“We have to pretty much empty everything out of this restaurant because it’s a long day to be without power — 12 hours,” says Amit Rajgarhia, district manager for Dish N Dash chain of restaurants.
“A blown up transformer, we could understand that. We would never ever complain. The letter from PG&E said it was for safety reasons, but obviously there’s more to it than that. It’s about installing a charger for Tesla. So, my employees are like ‘Why am I getting shafted for someone’s Tesla charging?'” he said.
“My employees were frustrated because even one day without pay is going to affect them,” says Carlos Rosas on behalf of the 30 employees he manages for Dish N Dash.
