Chargtek/What we build
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. The four site types below differ in geometry, duty cycle and funding; the discipline underneath them is identical.
Site type 01
Highway fast-charge plazas
The pull-through plaza is the flagship format: high dwell-value locations on corridor routes, engineered for the 350 kW highway standard today with pads and pathways that accept 1,000 V-class cabinets when the vehicles demand them.
- What the build includes
- Utility service and switchgear · power cabinet pads · pull-through and trailer-length stalls · canopy and lighting · ADA access routes · dual-standard dispensing (NACS + CCS1) · second-phase conduit stubs
| Power per bay | 150–400 kW today; pads sized for 1,000 V-class upgrades |
|---|---|
| Typical layout | 4–12 ports per phase; pull-through geometry preferred |
| Service | New 480 V three-phase service; utility transformer on site |
| Schedule driver | Utility interconnection — filed at step 03, tracked weekly |
Site type 02
Fleet & depot charging
Transit, school bus, last-mile and Class 8 yards. Depot charging is a different discipline from public fast charging: the whole yard charges on a shift schedule, so sequencing and load management decide how much service you actually have to buy. We design the civil and electrical backbone so the megawatt tier is a cabinet swap later, not a rebuild.
- What the build includes
- Load-managed distribution · sequenced charging by shift pattern · pantograph or plug-in dispensing · MCS-staged conduit pathways · V2G-capable switchgear where specified · yard lighting and bollard protection
| Power per dispenser | 50–350 kW sequenced; MCS (up to ~3.75 MW) staged in pathways |
|---|---|
| Typical layout | Rows matched to parking plan; charge-to-shift sequencing |
| Service | Sized to managed peak, not nameplate sum — often the largest saving on the project |
| Schedule driver | Interconnection plus yard downtime windows |
Site type 03
Commercial & destination
Retail, hospitality, multifamily and parking structures. The right answer here is usually a Level 2 array with a DC anchor — metered for revenue, wired so adding ports later means pulling cable through conduit that already exists, not re-trenching the lot.
- What the build includes
- Level 2 arrays (7–19 kW) · DC anchor bays (50–150 kW) · revenue metering · panel and service work inside occupied buildings · spare-capacity conduit · signage and striping
| Power mix | Level 2 array + one or two DC anchors is the usual sweet spot |
|---|---|
| Typical layout | 4–20 L2 ports; DC anchor near the service entrance |
| Service | Existing service often workable — run the feasibility check |
| Schedule driver | Permitting and make-ready application windows |
Site type 04
OEM & dealer networks
Delivery centers, dealer service bays and brand-standard public sites, rolled out market by market to a single spec with a single point of accountability. Built to your charging architecture — we are not tied to a manufacturer's catalog, and we don't need to be taught what a 1,000 V platform requires.
- What the build includes
- Brand-standard site kit executed identically across markets · delivery-bay and service-bay charging · dual-standard public bays · single weekly report across every open site
| Format | Multi-site program; repeatable kit-of-parts per location class |
|---|---|
| Power | Per brand standard — L2 service bays through 1,000 V-class flagship sites |
| Rollout | Market-by-market sequencing against vehicle launch dates |
| Schedule driver | Utility timelines per market — we file early and in parallel |
