Commercial EV Charger Installation | Businesses & Multifamily Across DFW
EV charging for workplaces, retail centers, apartment communities, and fleets, from father-and-son master electricians serving the DFW Metroplex since 2009. Texas-licensed electrical contractor, TECL #33192.
Drivers Are Asking for Charging. The Question Is What Your Building Can Handle.
Tenants ask about it on lease renewals. Employees ask about it in the parking lot. Shoppers look for it on their maps. Adding EV charging can help you keep tenants, attract customers, and support a fleet, but only if the installation fits your electrical service and your budget.
The charger itself is usually the easy part. The real questions are how much capacity your panel and utility service have, how far the chargers sit from the power source, and how many vehicles need to charge at once. Get those wrong and you either overspend on capacity you don't need or end up with chargers that trip breakers.
Epic Electrical handles commercial electrical work across DFW. For EV charging, that means a load calculation before anyone picks a charger count, honest options for phasing the project, and a written quote with no hidden costs.

Who We Install Commercial EV Charging For
Apartment & Multifamily Communities
Residents who drive EVs need somewhere to charge overnight. We help property owners and managers decide between shared amenity chargers and assigned-space charging, and plan the electrical so you can add more stations as demand grows.
Workplaces & Office Buildings
Workplace charging is a benefit employees notice. Because cars sit all day, Level 2 chargers usually cover the need, and load management can let more chargers share the capacity you already have.
Retail Centers, Restaurants & Hotels
Charging keeps customers on site longer and puts your business on the map in drivers' charging apps. We help you decide how many stations make sense and where they'll be most visible and easiest to reach.
Fleets & Service Vehicles
If your business is moving work trucks or vans to electric, we plan charging around your duty cycle: how many vehicles, how many miles a day, and how long they sit overnight. That decides whether Level 2 is enough or you need faster charging.
Churches, Schools & Community Buildings
Large parking lots with daytime or event-driven use can be a good fit for a small bank of chargers. We'll size the installation to how the lot is actually used.
Level 2 vs. DC Fast Charging
Most commercial installations come down to two choices. The right one depends on how long vehicles stay parked and how much electrical capacity your site has.
| Factor | Level 2 Charging | DC Fast Charging |
|---|---|---|
| Best fit | Workplaces, apartments, hotels, and any site where cars park for hours | Quick stops along busy routes, and fleets that need fast turnaround |
| Power | 208V or 240V circuits, similar to other commercial loads | Typically three-phase service with much higher capacity |
| Charge time | Several hours for a substantial charge | A large share of a charge in well under an hour, depending on the vehicle |
| Electrical impact | Often fits existing service, especially with load management | Frequently requires new service or a utility upgrade |
| Relative cost | Lower equipment and installation cost per port | Significantly higher equipment and installation cost |
⚠️ Start with a load calculation, not a charger count. Your panel and utility service set the limit on how many chargers you can run at once. We calculate the capacity you actually have before you commit to equipment, then show you how load management or a phased plan can get more ports out of it.
What Goes Into a Commercial EV Charging Installation
Every Project Plan Covers:
- A load calculation on your existing panel and service
- Charger locations, distance from power, and trenching or conduit routes
- Load management options that let more chargers share existing capacity
- Coordination with the utility (Oncor in most of DFW) if new service is needed
- Parking layout and accessibility considerations your designer or the city may require
- Room in the plan to add chargers later without starting over

How a Commercial EV Project Works With Epic Electrical
1. Site Walk & Load Calculation
We look at your parking area, your panel, and your service, and talk through who will be charging and how often. You get a straight answer on what your site can support today.
2. Written Quote With Options
You get a written quote that spells out the scope. If a phased approach or load management would save money, we'll lay out those options side by side.
3. Permits, Inspection & Utility Coordination
We pull and manage the electrical permit, handle the electrical inspection, and coordinate with the utility when service changes are involved.
4. Installation With Minimal Disruption
We plan trenching, boring, and shutoffs around your tenants, employees, or customers so the lot stays usable during the work.
5. Everything Works as It Should
Before we leave, we test every charger, walk you through what was installed, and label the panel so your team knows what feeds each station.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial EV Charging
How many EV chargers can my building support?
It depends on the capacity of your panel and utility service and how much of it is already in use. We start with a load calculation. Load management systems can let more chargers share the same capacity by dividing power between vehicles that are plugged in at the same time.
Should we install Level 2 or DC fast chargers?
If vehicles park for several hours, such as at apartments, offices, or hotels, Level 2 usually covers the need at a much lower cost. DC fast charging fits quick-stop locations and fleets that need fast turnaround, but it typically requires three-phase service and often a utility upgrade.
Do we need a new electrical service for EV chargers?
Not always. Many Level 2 installations fit within existing capacity, especially with load management. Larger installations and DC fast chargers often do need added capacity, and we coordinate with the utility, which is Oncor in most of DFW, when they do.
Can you install EV chargers at an apartment complex?
Yes. We help multifamily owners plan shared or assigned-space charging, run power to garages or surface lots, and lay out the electrical so more stations can be added as more residents drive EVs.
How long does a commercial EV charger installation take?
A few Level 2 chargers near an existing panel can often be installed quickly once the permit is issued. Projects that need trenching, new service, or utility work take longer. We give you a realistic schedule with your quote.
Do you install home EV chargers too?
Yes. For homeowners, see our residential EV charger installation page.
