Installing Commercial EV Chargers: What Businesses Need to Know
As electric vehicle adoption continues to grow, more businesses are investing in commercial EV charging stations to support fleet vehicles, employees, and customers. Installing EV chargers isn’t just about mounting equipment on a wall—it requires thoughtful planning, electrical expertise, and coordination across utilities, equipment vendors, and site conditions.
That’s where experienced commercial and industrial electricians make the difference.
What’s Involved in Commercial EV Charger Installation?
Unlike residential chargers, commercial EV charger installations often involve higher power levels, multiple units, and integration with existing electrical infrastructure. Key considerations include:
Electrical capacity & load calculations
Many facilities require panel upgrades, transformer coordination, or new service to support Level 2 or DC fast chargers.
Utility coordination & permitting
EV charger projects frequently involve utility approvals, demand considerations, and local permitting requirements.
Charger type & use case
Fleet depots, workplaces, multifamily properties, and public parking all have different charging needs, duty cycles, and power requirements.
Future scalability
Designing systems that allow additional chargers to be added later can save significant cost down the road.
