EV charger installation is a rapidly growing segment of the electrical contracting industry, driven by federal incentives (IRA, NEVI program), state mandates, and surging EV adoption across residential, commercial, and fleet markets. Companies in this space install Level 1, Level 2, and DC fast charging (DCFC) infrastructure for homeowners, apartment complexes, retailers, municipalities, and corporate fleets. The sector remains highly fragmented, with thousands of small regional operators competing alongside large electrical contractors and national EV-focused platforms.
