Our Installation Process
Site Assessment and Planning
We start by visiting the location to check the electrical capacity and space near the gate entry. We measure distances for wiring and consider safety rules for traffic flow and placement.
Next, we review existing electrical panels to ensure they can support the charger load. If upgrades are needed, we include this in our plan. We also choose the right charger type and location for easy use. Our aim is to avoid blocking vehicle paths or gate operation.
Permitting and Compliance
We handle all permits required by local authorities to install the charging stations. Our team knows the regulations for electrical work and safety standards to follow.
We prepare and submit permit applications, making sure to include site plans and technical details. Our experience helps speed up approval. We also ensure the installation meets codes like the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local building rules. Compliance reduces the risk of fines or delays.
Installation
Installation usually takes 2 to 4 days depending on complexity. First, we mark and prepare the site by digging trenches if underground wiring is needed. Next, we install the electrical panel or upgrade it for charger use. Then we run cables and mount the charging station at the gate entry.
Finally, we test the system to confirm it works safely and efficiently. We train users on how to operate the charger before finishing the job.
Security and Access Control Integration
We design our electric vehicle charging stations to work smoothly with gate entry systems. This ensures only authorized users can access both the gates and the chargers.
Our systems use key cards, PIN codes, or mobile app controls to grant entry. These tools help us keep track of who uses the charging stations and when.
We also include real-time monitoring to detect any unusual activity. This helps prevent unauthorized access or tampering with the equipment.
To make management easier, we provide centralized control panels. These panels let property managers control gate access and charging permissions from one place.

We offer electric vehicle charging station installations that fit both residential and commercial gate entries. This makes it easier for homeowners and business owners to provide convenient charging options.
For residences, having a charging station by the gate means easy access. Residents can plug in their EVs right when they arrive. This saves time and effort compared to searching for public chargers.
For commercial properties, charging stations bring added value. They attract tenants and customers who drive electric vehicles. It shows the property is modern and eco-friendly, which can improve reputation.
