EV Charging Installation

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.

Infrastructure

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.

High-Load Power

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.

Think Ahead

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.

Breaker space and busbar capacity reserved for a future solar interconnection, so the array lands on your existing service instead of triggering another upgrade.
Service sizing that accounts for planned arrays and battery storage. As a Tesla Energy Certified Installer for Powerwall 3 and Megapack, we treat storage-ready design as part of the same conversation.
Metering and interconnection paths confirmed with your utility before you commit capital, not after the equipment is on order.

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.

Why It Matters

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.

FAQ

EV Charging & Electrical Questions

Do I need a panel upgrade to install EV chargers? +
Not always. A load calculation on your existing service tells us how many chargers your panel supports as-is, and smart load management often adds ports without touching the service. When an upgrade is genuinely needed, we handle the panel work, the permits, and the utility coordination in one scope — no second contractor required.
What is the difference between Level 2 and DC fast charging for a business? +
Level 2 runs on 208/240-volt power and charges vehicles over several hours — the right choice for workplaces, apartments, hotels, and retail where cars dwell. DC fast charging is 480-volt three-phase equipment that charges in minutes but draws far more power, so it usually involves utility coordination and careful design around demand charges. We install both and will tell you plainly which one your site and rate schedule actually support.
Can you handle fleet electrification across multiple sites? +
Yes. We design fleet charging around your duty cycles and phase the buildout so capacity arrives when the vehicles do, not years before. As a C-10 contractor working across SCE, SDG&E, PG&E, LADWP, IID, and Anaheim Public Utilities territories, we manage the utility process at every site under one contract.
Do you subcontract your electrical work? +
Electrical work is performed by our in-house C-10 crews, staffed with state-certified Journeymen and Apprentices. Vetted partners handle only specialized scopes, and Keen owns quality control either way. You get one contractor and one point of accountability from design through final inspection.
Can you make my building solar-ready before I commit to solar? +
Yes. Panel and service upgrades sized with solar in mind — breaker space, busbar capacity, a confirmed interconnection path — cost little extra now and avoid a second upgrade later. When you're ready, our commercial solar team builds on the same infrastructure.
