Commercial EV Chargers and Installation in Raleigh–Durham, NC
Hardware, deployment support and charger management software for businesses across Raleigh, Durham, Cary and Apex.
Who we serve
AmpOn works with property owners and operators across the Research Triangle. These are the property types the equipment and the deployment process are built around.
Hotels and hospitality
Guest parking with long overnight dwell, where charging is an amenity that shows up in booking decisions.
Workplaces and corporate campuses
Staff and visitor bays with predictable weekday patterns and the longest dwell times of any segment.
Healthcare facilities
Mixed staff, patient and visitor parking, with shift patterns that spread demand across the day.
Multifamily communities
Assigned or shared resident bays, usually overnight, where cost per bay governs how many go in.
Commercial real estate and new developments
Tenant amenity and new-build parking, where getting conduit in before the surface goes down is the cheapest decision available.
Fleet depots
Return-to-base vehicles charging on a schedule, where the supply and the departure times set the design.
Commercial AC and DC options
AC Level 2
Wall-mounted and pedestal units, single and dual port, for parking where vehicles sit for hours: workplaces, multifamily, hotels and tenant parking. Several models share power dynamically across their two ports, so the pair can sit on a smaller breaker than their combined rating would otherwise need.
DC fast charging
For short dwell and turnover: retail forecourts, highway-adjacent sites and depots that need vehicles back out quickly. Higher power means a three-phase supply and a larger share of the project cost sitting in the electrical work.
The right answer is usually driven by how long cars are parked rather than by the headline power figure. AmpOn's management software also runs on third-party OCPP 1.6J and 2.0.1 chargers, so existing equipment can often be brought in, confirmed per model.
Our deployment and installation process
01Site evaluation
What the property’s electrical supply actually has spare, how far the run is to the bays, and what that implies for cost.
02Equipment selection
AC or DC, how many ports, and which units suit the dwell times at that property and the capacity available.
03Installation and commissioning
Carried out by licensed installation partners that AmpOn coordinates, with permit tracking and utility coordination alongside, through to acceptance testing.
04Operation
Monitoring and remote diagnostics, payments and settlement, reporting, and ongoing support once the site is live.
Installation is performed by licensed installation partners coordinated by AmpOn. Exactly which of these steps are included on a given project, and which are optional, is defined in the project proposal.
Charger management and payments
Sites run on AmpOn's own management software: real-time monitoring and remote diagnostics, role-based access and audit logs for your team, and open APIs over OCPP 1.6J and 2.0.1. Where a site charges for sessions, AmpOn Pay handles instant payments with same-day settlement, flat, time-of-use or dynamic pricing, fleet billing and cost centres, and the reporting to reconcile it.
Site-wide dynamic load management
Charging power is adjusted against the building's other electrical demand and the limits configured for the site, rather than reserving a fixed allowance that sits idle. On a constrained property this is often what decides whether the charging you want fits the supply you have.
Results depend on site design, metering, charger compatibility and configuration.
What affects project cost
Hardware is rarely the biggest number on a commercial charging project. These are the factors that move the total, and why we quote from a site evaluation rather than a price list:
- How far the supply has to run to the parking bays, and whether that route is existing conduit, surface raceway or open-cut trenching.
- Whether the existing service has spare capacity, or the site needs a service upgrade or a transformer.
- How many bays are energised at once. Site works are largely one-off, so cost per port falls as the count rises.
- AC or DC, and the power level, which sets the feeder, the breaker and the switchgear.
- Local permitting and the utility application for the service.
- Whether load management lets the site be served as it stands rather than upgraded.
We publish ranges on request rather than on the page, because a number without the site behind it misleads more often than it helps.
Service area and contact
AmpOn serves businesses in Raleigh, Durham, Cary and Apex and the surrounding Research Triangle, North Carolina.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. AmpOn supplies commercial AC and DC charging hardware and supports the deployment around it: site evaluation and electrical capacity assessment, permit tracking, utility coordination, and commissioning. Installation itself is carried out by licensed installation partners that AmpOn coordinates. The scope of what is included on any given project is set out in the project proposal.
Yes. AmpOn works with businesses across Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex and the surrounding Research Triangle in North Carolina.
The hardware is usually not the largest line. Cost is driven by the electrical work: how far the supply has to run to the parking bays, whether the route is open-cut or existing conduit, whether the site needs a service upgrade or a transformer, how many bays are being energised at once, and local permit and utility application requirements. Site works are largely one-off, so cost per port falls as more chargers go in at the same time.
Yes. AmpOn Pay supports instant payments with same-day settlement, and pricing can be flat, time-of-use or dynamic. Fleet billing and cost centres are supported, along with revenue reporting and reconciliation.
It means EV charging power is adjusted against the rest of the building’s electrical demand and the limit configured for the site, rather than being fixed. As building demand rises, charging power can be reduced; as capacity frees up, charging can increase. It applies to EV charging only, and does not control a building’s other equipment.
It can help. Under NEC 220.57 the calculated load for sizing a service may be taken from a listed energy management system’s setpoint rather than full charger nameplate, which can bring the required service size down. It does not remove the need for a site assessment, and it cannot go below the floor set by the largest single branch device. Whether an upgrade is avoidable on a specific site is a question for that site’s electrical design.
Yes. The AC range covers single and dual-port units for workplaces, multifamily and shared parking, including models that share power dynamically across their ports. The DC range runs from compact units suited to retail and depots through to higher-power cabinets.
In most cases, yes. AmpOn’s management software is built on OCPP 1.6J and 2.0.1 with open APIs, and AmpOn hardware is an option rather than a requirement. Support depends on the specific make, model and firmware, so existing equipment is confirmed on a per-model basis before anything is committed.
No. Coordination with utility signals, demand response participation and measurable charging flexibility are on AmpOn’s roadmap, not available today. What is available now is site-level dynamic load management, which works against the site’s own demand and configured limits.
