Commercial EV Charger Installation

Turn your property into an EV-ready destination. King Electric & Solar designs and installs commercial EV charging stations for businesses, workplaces, apartments, HOAs and fleets across Auburn, Placer County and the greater Sacramento region. From a pair of Level 2 stations for your staff to networked, payment-enabled charging plazas, we handle the electrical infrastructure, permitting, utility coordination and incentives end to end.

Commercial EV Charging in Auburn & the Sacramento Region

EV adoption in Northern California is accelerating, and drivers increasingly choose where to shop, work and live based on charging access. Installing commercial EV charging attracts and retains tenants, customers and employees, supports fleet electrification mandates, and can generate revenue — while qualifying for substantial state and federal incentives. As licensed electrical contractors, we deliver the whole project: the service capacity behind the chargers, the chargers themselves, and the permits and inspections that make it all legitimate. For other business electrical needs, see our commercial services.

Who We Install For

  • Workplaces & offices: Employee and visitor charging that makes your business a destination — a top-searched perk for workplace EV charging.
  • Retail, hospitality & restaurants: Keep customers on-site longer; hotels and shopping centers see real dwell-time value.
  • Apartments & multifamily: Shared and assigned-stall charging that tenants now expect — with submetering and billing options.
  • HOAs & communities: Compliant common-area charging, navigated through HOA rules and California right-to-charge law.
  • Fleets: Depot and return-to-base charging sized for vans, trucks and service vehicles, with the load management fleets require.
  • Municipal & public: Public-access stations for cities, parks and transit sites.

Charging Levels & Equipment

We install the right hardware for your use case — networked stations from the major commercial manufacturers, configured for your goals:

  • Level 2 (240V) networked stations: The workhorse of workplace, multifamily and retail charging — dual-port pedestals and wall-mounts with access control, usage tracking and pay-per-use billing.
  • Level 3 / DC fast charging: High-power stations that charge in minutes for high-turnover retail, corridor and fleet sites.
  • Smart load management: Multiple ports sharing available capacity so you add stations without an oversized service upgrade.
  • Networking, access & payment: We commission the stations on their software platform and set up RFID, app access, reimbursement or paid billing.

Electrical Infrastructure & Service Upgrades

Most commercial charging projects live or die on the electrical capacity behind them — this is where a licensed electrical contractor matters more than a charger reseller:

  • Load studies: We measure your existing demand and determine how much charging your service can support today.
  • Service & panel upgrades: When you need more capacity, we handle service and panel upgrades, new subpanels and distribution.
  • Utility coordination: We work with PG&E on service changes, new transformers and make-ready infrastructure.
  • Trenching, conduit & mounting: Underground runs across parking areas, bollards and concrete bases, built to commercial code.
  • Solar & storage pairing: Offset charging costs and demand charges by pairing stations with solar and battery storage.

Rebates & Incentives Can Cover a Large Share of the Cost

Commercial and multifamily charging is among the most heavily incentivized electrical work in California right now. Depending on your site and timing, programs may include:

  • CALeVIP and other state programs targeting workplace, multifamily and public charging.
  • Utility programs such as PG&E’s EV infrastructure and make-ready offerings that can cover much of the “to-the-charger” cost.
  • Federal 30C tax credit for EV charging equipment — up to 30% in eligible areas.

Programs and funding rounds change constantly. We help identify what currently applies to your address and design the project to qualify.

Our Commercial Installation Process

  • Site assessment & goals: Number of ports, vehicle types, who pays, and growth plans.
  • Load study & design: Capacity analysis, equipment selection and a stamped electrical design where required.
  • Incentives & permitting: We assemble incentive applications and pull permits with the City of Auburn, Placer County or your jurisdiction.
  • Utility coordination: Service upgrades and make-ready handled with the utility.
  • Installation: Trenching, conduit, distribution, mounting and station installation by licensed electricians.
  • Activation & training: Network commissioning, payment setup and staff walkthrough.
  • Maintenance & warranty: Ongoing service plans to keep every port online.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much does commercial EV charger installation cost? It ranges widely with port count, charging level and how much electrical capacity and trenching the site needs. We provide a fixed-scope proposal after a site assessment — and factor in incentives that often offset a large share.
  • Level 2 or DC fast charging for my property? Workplaces, apartments and destinations where vehicles park for hours are usually best served by networked Level 2. High-turnover retail, corridors and fleets often justify DC fast charging. We’ll model both for your site.
  • Can tenants or customers be billed for charging? Yes — networked stations support pay-per-use, RFID access, reimbursement and submetering. We configure the model you want.
  • Will my electrical service handle EV chargers? That’s exactly what our load study determines. Many sites start with smart load management to avoid an oversized upgrade; others need a service upgrade, which we handle.
  • Do you handle the rebates and permits? Yes. We manage incentive applications, permitting and utility coordination as part of the project.
  • Do commercial stations have to be ADA accessible? Yes — commercial installations must meet accessibility requirements for van and standard accessible stalls, and we design layouts to comply.
