Demand-Charge Reduction
Solar generation offsets daytime charging demand while battery storage dispatches during peak charging periods—helping flatten facility demand spikes and reduce monthly demand charges.
Why EV charging
Four reasons EV charging supports long-term facility value.
Commercial EV charging infrastructure supports fleet electrification, tenant expectations, and long-term property modernization — while positioning facilities for the next phase of transportation and energy transition.
Fleet Electrification
Support electric fleet and operational vehicle charging.
EV infrastructure helps facilities prepare for fleet vehicles, service operations, and future transportation electrification.
Property Modernization
Add modern infrastructure modern tenants and employees expect.
Commercial charging stations improve property competitiveness and support workplace and visitor convenience.
Incentive Funding
Reduce project costs through available incentive programs.
Federal and provincial funding can significantly offset EV charging infrastructure investments.
Future Capacity
Build electrical infrastructure designed for expansion.
Charging systems can be planned around future fleet growth, load management, and site capacity requirements.
Prepare your facility for electrification
Green Integrations designs and manages commercial EV charging projects including infrastructure planning, utility coordination, electrical design, incentives, and turnkey installation for commercial and industrial facilities across Canada.
The process
From electrical assessment to operational fleet.
Commercial EV infrastructure is an electrical project first — site capacity, panel headroom, and load management are determined before a charger model is specified.
Electrical & Fleet Assessment
Assess
Existing electrical capacity, panel headroom, and available load are assessed alongside current and projected fleet size. Charger level (Level 1, 2, or DC fast) is confirmed based on vehicle dwell time, charge speed requirements, and electrical capacity.

EV charger levels
The right charger for your application.
The right level depends on how long vehicles are parked, how much charge they need per session, and what the facility’s electrical infrastructure can support.
L1120V AC
Level 1
Power output
1.4 – 1.9 kW
Range added
~8–12 km/hr
Best suited for
Vehicles parked 8–12+ hours overnight. Personal vehicles with low daily mileage.
Commercial context
Rarely specified for commercial installations. No electrical panel upgrade typically required. Limited to very low charge volume applications.
★ Most common
L2208–240V AC
Level 2
Power output
3.3 – 19.2 kW
7–22 kW typical
Range added
~50–80 km/hr
commercial config
Best suited for
Employee parking, fleet vehicles, retail, warehousing, hospitality. Vehicles parked 2–8 hours.
Commercial context
Standard commercial installation. Networked with load management. Qualifies for federal Clean Technology ITC. Electrical upgrade may be required for larger deployments.
L3400–1,000V DC
Level 3 · DC Fast
Power output
50 – 350+ kW
Range added
~100–350 km
per 30 minutes
Best suited for
High-throughput public charging, transit depots, commercial fleets needing fast turnaround.
Commercial context
Significant electrical infrastructure required — typically a dedicated transformer. Higher capital cost. Best justified for high-utilisation or mandatory fast-charge applications.
Our take
For most commercial and industrial facilities in Canada, Level 2 is the right starting point. It provides adequate charging speed for typical fleet and employee dwell times, qualifies for federal incentives, and does not require the electrical infrastructure investment of DC fast charging. Level 3 is specified where the application demands it — not as a default upgrade.
Applications
EV charging infrastructure for commercial properties.
Commercial EV charging applies across property types — from residential and office to retail, logistics, and fleet operations. The right scope depends on dwell time, vehicle mix, and electrical capacity.
Condominiums
Residential buildings with structured parking require charging infrastructure planned around suite count, electrical service capacity, and strata or ownership governance requirements.
Warehouses & Logistics
Distribution and fulfilment facilities operate continuous loading schedules and increasing electric fleet requirements. Charging infrastructure is planned around operating hours, load management, and available electrical capacity.
Retail Centers
Retail properties with customer parking benefit from Level 2 charging stations that support longer dwell times. Infrastructure is planned around parking turnover, service capacity, and co-location with on-site solar where applicable.
Office Buildings
Office and mixed-use properties require charging infrastructure for employees, tenants, and visitors — planned around daytime occupancy patterns, parking allocation, and building electrical capacity.
Parking Facilities
Stand-alone and structure-integrated parking facilities require charging systems scaled to stall count, turnover rate, and utility service constraints — with load management to control demand charges.
Fleet Depots
Commercial and service vehicle depots require dedicated charging infrastructure planned around fleet size, overnight charge windows, vehicle mix, and connection to on-site solar or battery storage where applicable.
Not sure where your facility fits? That's usually the right place to start a conversation. A 20-minute call is enough to map your charging requirements against the right scope of work.
