EV Chargers for Houston Area Buildings
EV charging stopped being optional two years ago — tenants, fleet managers, retail visitors, and workplace employees all expect it. Solivance Electric designs and installs commercial Level 2 (7.2–19.2 kW) and Level 3 DC fast chargers across Greater Houston. Every build starts with a real capacity check against the existing service — not a hope that the panel can take another 100A. When capacity is tight, we ship dynamic load-management builds that share a circuit without nuisance-tripping during peak demand. Multi-tenant and fleet deployments get per-stall submetering and OCPP-compatible backend selection. When the plan is to add more stalls in year two, we run the make-ready conduit and pull boxes now — so the next install is a pull, not another trench.
Load-managed Level 2 for fleets, offices, and multi-tenant lots. DC fast chargers for retail and fleet yards. Make-ready conduit so the next stall is a pull, not a dig.
What's included
- Level 2 (7.2–19.2 kW) and Level 3 DCFC installs
- Fleet, multi-unit, and workplace deployments
- Dynamic load management and per-stall submetering
- Make-ready infrastructure to add stalls later without re-trenching
“I submitted an inquiry to get pricing on a Level 2 EV charger install in my garage. I got a message from Solivance Electric about 5 minutes later asking if they could come by within the hour for an estimate, and could do the install as soon as the next day. Quick, efficient, and professional for the estimate. They ran the dedicated 240V circuit clean and walked me through the charger setup. 10/10. Will absolutely use Solivance Electric again for any electrical work.”
How it works
We meter the existing service with clamp-on recorders where the historical data is thin, and size the EV load against the real headroom — not the panel nameplate.
OCPP-compatible Level 2 or Level 3 units. ChargePoint, Enel X, EVgo, Blink — whichever your billing/backend path needs. Dynamic load management when capacity is tight.
Underground conduit to every stall, stub-ups at future-stall locations, pull boxes where the run is long. Concrete bollards and wheel-stop layout per ADA and the property owner.
Pricing
A single Level 2 charger on existing panel capacity runs $2,800–$6,500 installed (mount, conduit, wire, commissioning). Multi-stall Level 2 builds with load management and submetering run $4,500–$8,500 per stall at scale. A single DC fast charger (50 kW) with service-entrance work and utility coordination runs $55,000–$120,000. A 150 kW DCFC with transformer-level work can push $250,000+.
Timeline
A single Level 2 charger is a one-day install once material is on site. Multi-stall Level 2 (8–20 stalls) typically runs 1–2 weeks including trenching and panel work. A DC fast charger typically runs 6–12 weeks once permits, utility work, and transformer delivery are factored in — plan ahead.
Code & permits
EV charging equipment is installed under NEC Article 625, with load calculations per NEC 220 and the 2023 continuous-load factor on chargers. Dynamic load management systems must be documented per NEC 625.42. For DC fast chargers, CenterPoint Energy coordination covers transformer sizing, service-entrance upgrades, and sometimes a new primary service drop. Harris County Permits or the local AHJ reviews the install.
