As a leading EVSE contractor in the Bay Area, we are proud to have recently completed the installation of Kempower DC fast chargers at the City Center West Garage. Located at 1250 Martin Luther King Jr. Way in Oakland, CA, this public EV charging station is part of the Ava Charge network and is a critical investment in Oakland’s clean transportation infrastructure.
Wells Electrical’s Scope of Work
Our licensed electricians handled the entire EV charger installation scope, including:
- Main service upgrades and conduit routing
- Installation of distribution equipment and switchgear
- ADA and city permitting compliance
- Network configuration in coordination with Ava Charge and Kempower
- Electrical testing and commissioning
We specialize in turnkey EV charger installs for commercial and multifamily properties, with an emphasis on code compliance, user accessibility, and future expansion.
Why This Project Matters
The City Center West Garage EV charging installation added 31 fast charging connectors in a central downtown location, offering high-power charging options for commuters, city employees, and residents. This site now serves as one of Oakland’s EV charging hubs and aligns with the city’s broader climate and mobility goals.
If you’re a property manager, commercial developer, or city agency looking to install EV chargers, this project is proof of how we can help bring your EV infrastructure vision to life.
