EV Charging Retrofitting: Powering Your Property’s Next Step

As electric vehicles (EVs) become increasingly mainstream, upgrading your building to accommodate EV charging stations is no longer a nice-to-have convenience—it’s a necessity. However, retrofitting an existing structure to support Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) comes with its own set of challenges. At ASF Electric, we specialize in managing the complexities of EV charging retrofitting, ensuring safe, efficient, and cost-effective installations for your facility.

Why Retrofit for EV Charging?

The demand for electric vehicle charging infrastructure is growing rapidly. By 2030, millions of EVs are expected to be on the roads, making the availability of reliable, accessible charging stations critical. Retrofitting your building for EV charging is an investment that helps future-proof your property, meets the needs of today’s drivers, and demonstrates a commitment to sustainability. However, retrofitting isn’t without its hurdles. Incorporating EVSE into existing structures can be a complicated process, requiring careful consideration of safety, functionality, cost, and regulations. Here’s why retrofitting is vital and how we can help:

1. Cost management: Retrofitting existing buildings can be costly, especially when it comes to upgrading electrical systems to accommodate high-draw EV charging stations. Our team at ASF Electric works with you to find cost-effective solutions, including phased upgrades, creative space planning, and leveraging utility programs to manage expenses.
2. Power capacity limitations: Many buildings do not have the spare electrical capacity to support multiple high-draw EV chargers. We’ll work with you to assess your facility’s electrical infrastructure and identify efficient upgrades, ensuring you get the right capacity without overspending.
3. Space optimization: Space in parking areas can be limited, especially in older buildings. Our experts will help you find the best solution, whether it’s using existing infrastructure for mounting chargers, implementing valet charging, or optimizing parking layout for designated EV spots.
4. Navigating permits and regulations: EVSE installation requires navigating complex local codes and regulations. ASF Electric is well-versed in the permitting process and ensures your project is fully compliant with all legal requirements, making the installation process smoother and more efficient.
5. ADA accessibility: Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is essential. We ensure that EV charging stations are placed for easy access, with accommodations for drivers with disabilities, while maintaining convenient spots for all users.
