Electric vehicles are becoming the standard in Western Washington, with EV sales significantly outpacing the national average. Providing reliable, IBEW-installed EV charging is no longer a perk—it’s a necessary infrastructure upgrade that enhances property value, attracts customers, and future-proofs your business operations.
Our team of IBEW Local 46 electricians provides comprehensive commercial EV charging solutions throughout the greater Puget Sound area. Whether you need installation of a supplied charger, want a new system, or require a service upgrade, Artisan Electric has you covered with engineered resilience for your electrification needs.
Installing high-capacity commercial chargers demands a higher level of electrical expertise, safety, and infrastructure planning. Our approach ensures you meet demand efficiently and compliantly.
All commercial charging installations are performed exclusively by licensed, union-certified IBEW Local 46 electricians. This is critical for complex commercial projects.
Code Compliance & Safety: Adherence to strict NEC® standards for high-load commercial electrical systems.
Unmatched Reliability: Our team is trained to handle large-scale panel integration, sophisticated load management, and network configuration.
Commercial charging often requires substantial electrical service upgrades to support the large, sustained power draw of Level 2 or DC Fast Chargers.
As a full-service electrical contractor, we handle all panel upgrades, new wiring, and dedicated circuit installations in-house. This single point of accountability simplifies project management and guarantees system compatibility.
Our commercial EV charging experts help you select the optimal charging level based on your operational needs, the vehicle dwell time at your location, and your budget:
| Charger Type | Ideal Commercial Use Case | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Level 2 (208V/240V AC) | Employee Parking, Multifamily Residences, Hotels, Fleet Depots (for overnight charging). | Lower installation and operating costs; ideal for long dwell times (4-8 hours). |
| DC Fast Charging (DCFC) | Public Corridors, Retail with Quick Turnarounds, Taxi/Ride-Share Hubs. | Essential for rapid charging (20–60 minutes); attracts high-traffic public use. |
We install a wide variety of popular charging products—including Tesla, Wallbox, and ChargePoint—ensuring seamless integration with your fleet management software or customer payment platform.
The total cost of your installation can be sharply reduced by leveraging targeted utility programs and union incentives. We help you navigate and secure all available funding.
