Commercial EV charging in Ontario
A commercial charging plan combines electrical design, parking operations, software, and maintenance. Start with vehicle dwell times and a site assessment.
The right power. In the right place.
Workplaces, retail properties, hospitality businesses, rental buildings, and fleets need different charging experiences.
- Who will charge, and how long will they park?
- How will users access and pay for charging?
- What capacity is available now, and what expansion is planned?
Level 2 or DC fast charging?
Level 2 can suit longer parking sessions. Vehicle and equipment limits determine delivered power.
DC fast charging sends direct current to the vehicle. It can require more substantial utility and site infrastructure.

Let’s start with the site.
A useful audit brief includes parking capacity, desired charging stalls, vehicle needs, and expansion plans.
Support should be defined in writing.
No response-time or uptime commitment is published before the actual maintenance agreement is supplied.
Can we charge drivers for electricity?
Payment and access depend on the chosen equipment, network provider, site rules, and applicable requirements. Confirm pricing, transaction fees, tax treatment, and support responsibilities.
How do we estimate payback?
Use realistic utilisation and delivered energy assumptions. Include electricity, network fees, maintenance, payment processing, and demand charges. Our calculator is an illustrative starting point.
Can we expand later?
A phased design may reserve pathways and capacity for later stalls. Confirm civil works, utility constraints, and networking before installing the first phase.
Plan for today. Leave room for tomorrow.
