Las Vegas, NV · EV charging infrastructure · Design–build

The hard part isn't the charger.
It's the power behind it.

Chargtek surveys, designs, permits and builds DC fast-charging sites — utility service, switchgear, conduit, foundations, dispensers and commissioning. We keep the trench short with horizontal directional drilling, and we size the ground for the power levels arriving now, not the ones that shipped in 2019.

What we build

Four site types. One power problem.

Every project comes down to the same question — how much power can this ground carry, and what will it need to carry in seven years. We answer that first, then build backwards from it.

Site type 01

Highway fast-charge plazas

150–400 kW pull-through bays, canopy and lighting, ADA access routes, and switchgear pads sized for a second phase you haven't ordered yet.

Bay configs & timelines →
Yard excavation for charging infrastructure at a large lot

Site type 02

Fleet & depot charging

Transit, school bus, last-mile and Class 8 yards. Sequenced charging so you buy service capacity once, plus pathways reserved for megawatt dispensers.

Site type 03

Commercial & destination

Retail, hospitality, multifamily and parking structures. Level 2 arrays with a DC anchor, metered for revenue, wired so adding ports later doesn't mean re-trenching.

Bay configs & timelines →
Crew coordinating over construction plans

Site type 04

OEM & dealer networks

Delivery centers, dealer service bays and brand-standard public sites. Repeatable multi-site rollout to a single spec, one point of contact per market.

The power path

Six steps from dirt to dispenser.

This is a sequence, not a menu. Skipping the front end is what turns a nine-month project into a two-year one — almost always at the utility interconnection.

01

Survey & evaluate

Our team walks your location at no cost. Utility capacity, service entrance options, transformer distance, soils, ADA path of travel — and what the site can realistically support today.

02

Plan & design

One-line diagrams, load calculations, civil and foundation design, and stub-ups sized for the next generation of cabinets — not just the ones on this purchase order.
Approved construction permit application

03

Permit & approval

We work directly with cities and utilities — AHJ submittal, make-ready applications, and the interconnection request that gates your whole schedule.

04

Install & validate

Directional drilling keeps your lot open and your surface intact. Concrete, conduit, switchgear, dispensers — then commissioning and acceptance testing before handover.

24/7 network insight through your OCPP back end. Uptime, session counts, energy dispensed, fault codes and the reporting any funding program will ask for.

06

Maintain & upgrade

Preventive maintenance, cable and dispenser replacement, and power-cabinet upgrades. When your site needs to go from 150 kW to 400 kW, the pathway is already in the ground.

OEM programs

Entering the North American market?

Vehicles arrive before infrastructure does. If you are launching a brand or electrifying a commercial line in the United States, the charging build is a construction problem long before it is a hardware problem — and it runs on utility timelines, not product timelines.

The OEM program
  • Delivery & dealer networks. Repeatable multi-site builds to one spec, market by market.
  • 1,000 V ready. Conductor, clearance and pad design that accepts megawatt-class cabinets without a second mobilization.
  • Dual-standard dispensing. NACS and CCS1 served from the same bay through the transition.
  • Utility interface. We run make-ready and interconnection — the item that actually sets your launch date.

Commonly asked

You've got questions.

How do I get power to my location?
It starts with what's already at your property line. We pull the utility's available capacity for your service address, locate the nearest transformer with headroom, and determine whether you need a service upgrade, a new service, or simply a different point of connection. From there we file the make-ready and interconnection applications on your behalf. This step sets your schedule more than any other — which is why we do it first, not third.
Can my current location support a fast charger?
Frequently yes at a lower power level than you expect, and yes at full power with a service upgrade. A 150 kW dual-port cabinet needs roughly 200 kW of service headroom; a 350 kW bay needs considerably more. Behind-the-meter storage can bridge the gap where the utility can't. Run the two-minute feasibility check for a first read, then the free survey answers it for your exact address.
How many chargers should I install?
Fewer than you think on day one, with the ground built for more than you think by year five. Dwell time, traffic pattern and vehicle mix drive the port count; the expensive part — service, switchgear, conduit and foundations — is what you don't want to build twice. We routinely install four ports on a pad and pathway engineered for twelve.
What does horizontal directional drilling change?
It means we can get power across a parking lot, driveway, landscaped area or active roadway without opening it. Less surface restoration, less downtime for your business, fewer permits in many jurisdictions, and a materially lower total cost on sites where the transformer is far from where the chargers need to go.
Do you build for heavy-duty and transit fleets?
Yes. Depot charging is a different discipline from public fast charging — sequenced charging across a whole yard, shift-pattern load profiles, and pathways staged for megawatt dispensers that may not be commercially available on the day we pour concrete. We design the civil and electrical infrastructure now so the upgrade later is a cabinet swap rather than a rebuild.
