EV Charging & Commercial Electrical Done Right.
Level 2 and DC fast EV charger installation, panel and switchgear upgrades, and code-compliant commercial electrical for businesses, fleets, and multi-unit properties across Southern California.
What We Do
EV Charging Stations
Residential and commercial EV charging installations, including Level 2 and DC fast charging, designed for capacity and inspection approval.
Panel & Service Upgrades
Main panel, service, and switchgear upgrades to support solar, EV charging, and increased load demands without future rework.
Commercial Electrical
Tenant improvements, lighting retrofits, and three-phase power installations for operational facilities.
Repairs & Retrofits
Troubleshooting, rewiring, and corrections for failed inspections or aging electrical systems.
Level 2 and DC Fast Charging, Sized to Your Electrical Service
Most EV charging projects don't fail at the charger. They fail at the electrical service behind it: panels with no spare capacity, conductors sized for yesterday's loads, and quotes written before anyone opened the switchgear. We start where the project actually lives — your electrical infrastructure.
Level 2 Charging
The workhorse for workplaces, apartment communities, hotels, and retail centers. Level 2 stations run on 208/240-volt power and charge a vehicle over several hours — the right fit anywhere cars sit for a while. With smart load management, many properties can add multiple Level 2 ports before a service upgrade is ever required.
DC Fast Charging
480-volt three-phase equipment that charges in minutes instead of hours — built for fleet depots, dealerships, and high-traffic sites. DC fast charging draws serious power: it usually means utility coordination, and if it isn't designed around your rate schedule it can push demand charges up sharply. Demand charges already account for 30-70% of many commercial electric bills, so we engineer charging infrastructure to keep yours in check.
Fleet Electrification
Electrifying a fleet is an infrastructure project first and a vehicle order second. We plan circuit capacity and charger counts around your duty cycles, phase the buildout so you aren't paying for capacity you won't use for years, and manage utility service upgrades at each site. Dealerships face the same math — our guide to solar for car dealerships covers how charging and on-site generation work together.
Load Calculations First
Every EV charging quote we issue starts with a load calculation, not a spec sheet. We verify panel capacity, spare breaker space, conductor sizing, and transformer headroom before recommending hardware — so the installation passes inspection the first time and leaves room for the ports you'll add later. Retail centers pairing chargers with rooftop solar can offset much of the new load; our retail solar solutions page shows how the two fit together.
Panel, Service & Switchgear Upgrades
An aging panel or maxed-out service is the most common blocker we find on EV charging and solar projects — and the most expensive thing to discover mid-project. We upgrade electrical infrastructure as a standalone scope or as the first phase of a larger electrification plan.
Main Panel Upgrades
More ampacity for EV charging, building electrification, and new tenant loads — sized for the next decade of demand, not just the current permit. We document existing conditions, run the load calculation, and size the new service so you upgrade once.
Switchgear Replacement
We replace and retrofit aging commercial switchgear and distribution equipment that has outlived its service life — on your schedule, before it fails during your busiest season. Planned outages, coordinated cutovers, full inspection sign-off.
Utility Service Coordination
New or upgraded service means applications, site walks, and scheduling with your utility. We handle that process across SCE, SDG&E, PG&E, LADWP, IID, and Anaheim Public Utilities territories, so you're not the one chasing the service planner.
Three-Phase Power
Three-phase installations and conversions for operational facilities adding equipment, expanding production, or preparing for DC fast charging. Designed and built by in-house C-10 crews with the paperwork handled end to end.
New Construction & High-Load Facilities
AI data centers and EV adoption are putting real pressure on the grid — and ratepayers fund the infrastructure buildout that follows. Facilities that get their own power infrastructure right today stay ahead of it. We design and build electrical distribution for loads that outgrow generic contractors.
Data Centers & Server Rooms
High-density power distribution designed for continuous load. We build the electrical backbone for facilities where downtime isn't an option.
Cold Storage & Manufacturing
Refrigeration compressors, motor loads, process equipment, and forklift charging demand infrastructure engineered for what your operation actually draws — hour by hour, not nameplate totals.
New Construction & TI
Design-build electrical from plans through final inspection: lighting, distribution, three-phase power, and solar-ready service for commercial buildings and tenant improvements.
Pair high-load infrastructure with commercial solar and battery storage and you control more of your cost per kilowatt-hour instead of renting it from the utility.
Solar-Ready Electrical Work
If solar is anywhere in your plans, the electrical decisions you make now determine what that project costs later. A panel upgrade done without solar in mind can force a second upgrade in two years. One designed for it costs little more and eliminates the rework entirely.
When you're ready to build, the same in-house crews handle the solar scope. Start with our commercial solar overview, see how a full EPC engagement works, or compare ownership against a solar PPA. Already have a system? Our O&M services keep it producing.
EV Charging and Solar Fail When Electrical Work Is Done Wrong
EV charging and solar systems fail not because of equipment, but due to improper electrical design, installation, and commissioning. We are electricians first, which means systems built to pass inspection, perform reliably, and scale over time.
Why an In-House C-10 Crew Matters
Most solar and EV charging companies subcontract the electrical work — the part that decides whether the system passes inspection and performs for decades. Keen is the electrical contractor. Installations are performed by in-house C-10 crews staffed with state-certified Journeymen and Apprentices; vetted partners come in only for specialized scopes, and Keen owns quality control either way. One contractor, one point of accountability, no finger-pointing between trades.
We're licensed, bonded, and carry workers' comp and general liability insurance, and we run prevailing wage and DIR-compliant crews when a project calls for it. If your project touches AB 2143 territory, read our breakdown of how prevailing wage triggers affect project costs before you sign anything.
