TESLA CERTIFIED INSTALLER – CANYON LAKE CA

Commercial EV Charging Station Installer

Pacific Coast Generation designs, permits, and installs commercial EV charging stations that are built to code, eligible for incentives, and ready for the vehicles your customers and employees are driving today.

California Leads The Way In Electric Vehicle Adoption

California leads the country in EV adoption, and your commercial property needs to reflect that. Whether you’re a property manager looking to add a tenant amenity, a business owner trying to attract customers, or a fleet operator who needs vehicles charged and ready by morning, the demand for commercial EV charging infrastructure is only going in one direction.

Pacific Coast Generation is a licensed C-10 electrical contractor serving commercial clients across Riverside, Orange, San Bernardino, and San Diego Counties. We design and install commercial EV charging stations for every property type, and we handle everything from the initial site assessment through permitting, installation, utility coordination, and final inspection.

No project managers to juggle. No subcontractors showing up unannounced. One licensed team, start to finish.

How Much Does Installing a Commercial EV Charging Station Cost?

Commercial EV charging installation costs vary widely based on the scope of the project. General ranges:

  • Level 2 charger installation (single unit, straightforward electrical access): $2,000-$6,000 per station
  • Level 2 charger installation (new conduit runs, panel upgrades): $5,000-$15,000+ per station
  • DC Fast Charger installation: $20,000-$100,000+, depending on charger capacity and service upgrade requirements
  • Multi-station projects benefit from economies of scale in conduit and panel work


California incentive programs can offset 30-80% of eligible project costs for qualifying applicants. The right starting point is a site assessment. We can’t give you a meaningful number without seeing your property and electrical service.

Which Type of Commercial EV Charger Do You Need?

Level 2 Charging (AC) Most Commercial Applications

Level 2 chargers (240V AC) are the workhorse of commercial EV infrastructure. They charge at 15-80 miles of range per hour, depending on the charger amperage and the vehicle. For parking lots, workplaces, MDUs, and hospitality, where vehicles are parked for 2+ hours, Level 2 is the right fit. They’re cost-effective to install, widely compatible with all EVs on the market, and easy to manage through networked charging management software.

DC Fast Charging (DCFC) High-Throughput Applications

DC fast chargers deliver 80-300+ miles of range per hour and can bring most EVs from 20% to 80% in 20-40 minutes. They’re the right choice for gas station replacements, highway-adjacent retail, and high-dwell-time facilities where turnover is critical. DCFC infrastructure requires significant electrical capacity upgrades and a higher upfront investment, but for the right application, the ROI is there. We’ll walk you through whether DCFC makes sense for your property.

California Incentives And Rebates

Commercial EV Charging Incentives in California

California has more active incentive programs for commercial EV charging than anywhere else in the country. Depending on your property type, location, and utility provider, you may qualify for:

EVSE Incentives From SCE and SDG&E

Southern California Edison (SCE) and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) both offer rebate programs for commercial Level 2 and DC fast charger installations. SCE’s Charge Ready program and SDG&E’s Power Your Drive program have supported thousands of commercial installations across our service area. Program availability and rebate amounts change, so we’ll identify what’s currently active for your utility account during your site assessment.

California Energy Commission (CEC) Grants

The CEC administers funding programs specifically for fleet electrification, public charging infrastructure, and multifamily charging access. These are competitive grant programs, but worth pursuing for larger installations.

Federal Tax Credits (Section 30C)

The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (Section 30C) provides a federal tax credit of up to 30% of the cost of commercial EV charging equipment and installation (up to $100,000 per item). This credit has been extended and expanded. It’s best to consult your tax advisor to understand what your property qualifies for.

CARB And HVIP Programs

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) have specific programs for fleet electrification infrastructure. If you’re transitioning a commercial fleet, these programs may significantly reduce your charging infrastructure cost.

HOW THE INSTALLATION PROCESS WORKS

Our Commercial Installation Process

STEP 1

Site Assessment

We visit your property, assess your existing electrical service, evaluate the parking layout, and discuss your operational requirements, like how many vehicles, what charge windows, and whether you need managed charging or open access. This gives us everything we need to design the right system.

STEP 2

System Design and Proposal

We produce a detailed system design: number and placement of chargers, conduit routing, panel capacity, any service upgrade requirements, and a full cost breakdown. We’ll also identify all incentive programs your project qualifies for.

STEP 3

Permitting and Utility Coordination

We submit all required permits to your AHJ and coordinate with your utility provider for any service upgrades or interconnection requirements. Timeline varies by jurisdiction, so we’ll give you a realistic schedule during the proposal phase.

STEP 4

Installation

Our licensed C-10 electricians handle the full scope of work: electrical panel work, conduit installation, charger mounting, commissioning, and network setup. We work around your business operations to minimize disruption.

STEP 5

Final Inspection, Testing, and Handoff

We walk your facilities team through system operation, provide documentation for your permit file, and make sure you know how to use any charging management software. We’re available for support long after the project closes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pacific Coast Generation

How many EV chargers do I need for my property?

It depends on your parking capacity, expected EV adoption rate among customers or employees, and available electrical service. A general starting point: plan for 5-10% of parking stalls as EV-capable in the near term, with conduit stubbed in for future expansion. We’ll size the system during your site assessment.

For most commercial applications, yes. Networked chargers allow you to control access, set pricing, collect usage data, and monitor uptime remotely. They’re also required for participation in most rebate programs. We’ll recommend the right network platform for your use case.

Timeline depends on permit processing time (typically 2-6 weeks for AHJ approval), utility coordination if a service upgrade is required (4-12 weeks), and installation (typically 1-5 days for most commercial projects). We’ll give you a realistic project schedule during the proposal phase.

Level 2 commercial charger installations typically range from $2,000 to $15,000 per station, depending on electrical access and scope. DC fast charger projects start around $20,000. California incentive programs can offset a substantial portion of eligible costs. A site assessment is the only way to get an accurate number.

Yes. Networked charger platforms allow you to set per-kWh or per-hour pricing, collect payment via credit card or app, and receive revenue reports. Some property owners offer free charging as an amenity; others monetize it to offset operating costs. We’ll walk you through the options.

Yes. We hold a California C-10 Electrical Contractor license and have been performing electrical work since 2007, both residential and commercial. All commercial EV installations are fully permitted and inspected. We do not use subcontractors.
