What Does an EV Charging Consultant Do?

An EV charging consultant helps property owners determine the best way to deploy EV charging at their site. This includes assessing project feasibility, evaluating electrical capacity, recommending the right charging infrastructure, navigating utility and permitting requirements, and developing a financially viable deployment strategy.

Unlike traditional consultants who stop at planning, Ampaway can also fund, install, operate, and maintain your EV charging infrastructure through a long-term partnership, providing support from the initial assessment through ongoing operation.

Why Property Owners Bring In an EV Charging Consultant

Avoid costly planning mistakes

Installing EV chargers involves electrical capacity, parking layout, permitting, and long-term demand planning. An EV charging consultant helps you make the right decisions before construction begins.

Get the right solution for your property

Not every property needs the same number of chargers, hardware, or business model. A consultant evaluates your site's electrical capacity, usage patterns, and future growth to recommend a balanced solution.

Navigate permits and utility requirements

EV charging projects often require coordination with utilities, local authorities, and electrical contractors. An experienced consultant helps with permitting, utility approvals, and compliance so you can avoid delays.

Maximize available incentives

Many EV charging projects qualify for grants, rebates, or tax incentives, but eligibility varies by location and project type. A consultant can identify relevant programs and help make sure the project qualifies for funding.

Plan for long-term operation

A good strategy doesn't end after installation. An EV charging consultant helps you choose EV charging management software, hardware, and operational models that support future expansion, maintenance, and performance.

Our EV Charging Consulting Process

Site Assessment and Feasibility

Every project starts with understanding what's possible. We evaluate your property's electrical capacity, parking layout, projected charging demand, and business objectives to determine whether EV charging is feasible and what approach delivers the best value. This step is usually done at no cost.

Infrastructure Planning and Project Development

Our consultants develop a deployment strategy tailored to your property. This includes selecting the right charging infrastructure, planning for future growth, coordinating utility and permitting requirements, and identifying available incentives to improve project economics.

Project Delivery

After the planning phase, we guide your project through design, permitting, installation, and commissioning. Our consulting team stays involved throughout the whole process to help ensure the deployment is completed efficiently and according to plan.

Ongoing optimization and support

Our support doesn't end when EV charger installation is complete. We help monitor system performance, optimize operations, plan future expansion, and provide ongoing guidance so your EV charging investment continues to meet your business and property goals.

EV Charging Incentives and Funding

A successful EV charging project depends on more than the right hardware. It also requires a funding strategy that makes financial sense. Our consultants evaluate available rebate programs, estimate project economics, and help determine the most cost-effective path to deployment.

Where incentives are available, we identify eligible programs, including NEVI and CALeVIP as well as rebates offered by local utility companies such as LADWP, SCE, and others, and manage the application process as part of project planning. As EVITP-certified installers, Ampaway simplifies incentive research, eligibility, and paperwork. We also offer a revenue-share model that funds the installation and long-term operation of the charging infrastructure.

EV Charging Projects & Results‍

We are pleased with the decision to install Ampaway EV chargers at our properties. Ampaway has taken care of all the paperwork, installation was seamless and the app UI is very intuitive. The uptake in usage has been very fast, and we see more tenants switching to electric vehicles due to availability of EV charges at the property. Level 2 EV charger availability is a key tenant benefit in the current environment and an important retention tool.

Andrey K.

What stood out most about Ampaway was their zero-capital-upfront model. From start to finish, the process has been straightforward. Ampaway handled the engineering, permitting, installation, and ongoing billing — essentially a turnkey experience. Their team has been professional and responsive throughout the process, and I've appreciated that they've approached the relationship as a partnership rather than a transaction. For any property owner looking to add this amenity without tying up capital, I'd definitely recommend having a conversation with them.

Jason W.

Electrifying our fleet was a strategic decision, and choosing the right charging partner was central to it. Ampaway understood the operation before they talked about equipment, and they built for the fleet we're becoming rather than the one we had. A year in, our vehicles are ready when our drivers are and our energy costs are predictable. They've been a partner in the transition rather than a vendor we manage, and we're expanding to a second site this year.
