Charging Infrastructure for Sunnyvale Employers and Property Owners
Workplace charging has stopped being a perk and started being an expectation, particularly in a city where a large share of the parking lot is electric by lunchtime. Commercial and workplace EV charging station installation in Sunnyvale is a different discipline from residential work. The service is three-phase, the loads are larger, the stations are networked, and the project touches the property manager, the city and often the utility. Sunnyvale EV Charger Installation handles that whole sequence, from the initial load study through trenching, conduit, station mounting, network commissioning and final inspection. Projects here range from two stalls behind a small office off Mathilda to a striped row of stations in a business park near 237. The engineering answer changes with scale, but the process does not.

What a Commercial Charging Project Includes
What a commercial charging project covers from site walk to energized stations.
Site walk and electrical capacity studyWe assess the existing service, available capacity, and the distance from the switchgear to the parking area, which is usually what drives the budget.
Station count and phasing planBuilding all the stalls at once is rarely the cheapest path. We often recommend conduit and capacity for the full build now and hardware in phases.
Networked and payment-enabled hardwareStations that report usage, restrict access by credential, and bill users or cost-center back to a department, configured on the platform you choose.
Load management and demand-charge controlCommercial rate structures punish peak demand, so we configure power sharing and scheduling so a bank of stations does not spike your bill.
Trenching, boring and conduitGetting power across a parking lot means saw-cutting, trenching or boring, then restoring the surface. We handle that scope rather than subcontracting it away from the electrical plan.
Bollards, wheel stops and stripingPhysical protection for the equipment and clear marking of the stalls, which the city and your insurer both care about.
ADA-compliant stall layoutAt least one accessible stall with correct access aisle and reach ranges, laid out to current requirements.
Utility coordination for service increasesWhere the project needs more service than the building has, we work the PG&E process alongside the city permit rather than sequentially.
Network commissioning and admin handoffEvery station is commissioned onto the network, the account is set up, and your facilities team gets a walkthrough of the dashboard.
City of Sunnyvale permits and inspectionsElectrical and, where applicable, encroachment or surface-work permits, filed and attended by us.
How it works
Site Walk, Design and Permits, Build and Handoff
Step one
Site walk and feasibility
We measure the run, read the switchgear, check available capacity and identify the trenching path. You get a realistic picture of scope before any design work is billed.
Step two
Design, budget and permits
We produce the layout, the load study and a written project figure, then file the electrical permit and any surface-work permits the city requires. Utility coordination starts here if the service needs to grow.
Step three
Build, commission, hand off
Trenching and conduit first, then feeders, stations, bollards and striping. Every station is commissioned onto the network and tested, the city inspects, and your team gets the admin walkthrough.
Why Choose Us for Commercial Charging
We plan for the stations you will need later
Trenching a parking lot twice is the most expensive mistake in this category. Running conduit and capacity for the full build during the first dig costs a fraction of coming back in three years.
Demand charges get engineered out
A commercial bill can be dominated by peak demand, and eight stations all pulling at once at 9am will find that peak. Load management and scheduling are part of the design, not an afterthought.
One contractor for the whole scope
Electrical, trenching, protection, striping, network commissioning and permits come from the same team. Property managers do not end up refereeing between three trades with different schedules.
Put Charging in Your Sunnyvale Parking Lot
Start with a site walk and you will know the realistic scope, the trenching path and the budget range before committing to anything. We work around your tenants and your operating hours.
