Power Route Electric is expanding commercial EV charger and electrical services for Los Angeles businesses, HOAs, and multifamily properties. As the 2026 CALGreen code raises EV-ready requirements, the North Hills contractor helps owners add compliant charging and the panel capacity to support it.
North Hills, California, United States, 8th Jul 2026 – Power Route Electric, a licensed and insured electrical contractor based in North Hills, is expanding its commercial electric vehicle charging and electrical infrastructure services for businesses, homeowners associations, and multifamily properties across Los Angeles. The expansion targets a growing gap in the market: property owners who need to add EV charging but discover their existing electrical systems cannot support it without upgrades.
The timing follows a major regulatory shift. The 2025 CALGreen code took effect January 1, 2026, and it sharply raises EV-ready requirements for commercial and multifamily construction. Depending on parking configuration, some multifamily properties now must make up to 100 percent of parking spaces EV ready, and 25 percent of shared or common spaces must have full-power Level 2 chargers installed. For owners of existing buildings planning renovations or new charging, the practical result is more demand on the electrical system than many properties were built to handle.
Charging Installations Start With Electrical Capacity
Adding commercial EV chargers is rarely a simple plug-in. Level 2 and DC fast chargers draw significant power, and older commercial and multifamily buildings across Los Angeles often need panel upgrades, dedicated circuits, load calculations, and in some cases full electrical service upgrades before charging can be added safely. This is the core of Power Route Electric’s commercial work.
The company handles the full scope, from evaluating whether an existing panel can support the load, to obtaining permits, to installing the chargers and passing final inspection. Power Route Electric provides a two-year labor warranty on installations, and all work is backed by proper licensing and insurance.
Helping LA Owners Use Available Rebates
Cost is often the first barrier for commercial property owners. Los Angeles Department of Water and Power runs a Commercial EV Charger Rebate Program that offers rebates of up to $5,000 per Level 2 charger, with larger rebates available for DC fast chargers, and up to 80 charger rebates per property. Power Route Electric scopes installations so owners can pursue the rebates they qualify for while meeting program and code requirements.
“Most building owners we talk to know they need EV charging. What surprises them is that the charger is the easy part,” said Albert Castillo, owner of Power Route Electric. “The real work is making sure the panel, the service, and the circuits can carry the load safely. That is the electrical side, and it is what we do every day for commercial clients in Los Angeles.”
24/7 Commercial Electrical Support
Beyond EV charging, Power Route Electric provides commercial electrical services including panel and service upgrades, lighting and fixture installation, electrical repairs, and troubleshooting. The company offers 24/7 emergency service, which limits downtime for commercial clients when an electrical issue interrupts operations.
