Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming an integral part of our transition to a sustainable future. As the adoption of EVs continues to soar, the demand for efficient charging solutions follows suit. At Wooding Electric, we are fully committed to facilitating this transition with our EV charging installation service. Having served Santa Clara, San Jose, and the surrounding areas for nearly 30 years, we understand the intricacies of home electrical projects and are dedicated to supporting the Silicon Valley community in their journey towards sustainable living.
According to an article on Systems Contractor News, the potential for contractors and vendors in the EV charging space is vast and varied. The rapid growth in EV adoption, driven by bold future forecasts, attractive value propositions, and favorable regulations, has resulted in numerous new revenue models associated with EV charging stations. However, some barriers exist, most notably, the slower materialization of growth in the EV charging infrastructure.
At Wooding Electric, we are aware of these challenges and strive to overcome them through our comprehensive EV charging installation services. A significant percentage of EV charging today occurs at single-family homes, creating an opportunity for us to facilitate the transformation of these homes into efficient charging stations.
While traditional EV chargers essentially function like gas pumps, new models equipped with IoT capabilities offer a wide range of value-added services. These services, including targeted digital content and advertising, smart energy management, infrastructure, and device management services, create an open field of business opportunities.
With our extensive experience in the electrical industry, we possess the broad skillset required to install these sophisticated EV charging stations. Understanding the interconnectedness of IT, networking, and electrical infrastructure, we ensure our installations comply with safety requirements and optimize the impact of charging infrastructure on the overall facility load.
We also pay heed to cost-effectiveness, especially in the context of brownfield environments with existing electrical infrastructure. Level 2 charging stations, for instance, offer a much more cost-effective approach than DC fast chargers in such scenarios. Their installation is simpler and adaptable to a variety of electrical circuits.

The installation process begins with a detailed site survey, which provides insights into electrical and networking requirements for the infrastructure. This readiness process often involves a permitting process in compliance with local ordinances, and facilitates a timeline for installing the EV station.
Perhaps the most compelling aspect of EV charging stations is the continuously expanding spectrum of business models. Not only do they provide the vital service of charging EVs, but they also introduce opportunities for revenue generation through dynamic digital content and advertising. This opens intriguing new opportunities for retail environments, linking charging content with in-store advertising, and providing an additional revenue source for larger EV charging networks.
As a leader in EV charging installations, we also see opportunities in offering post-installation managed services. For example, “smart” Level 2 charging stations with adjustable power requirements and cloud-connected edge devices provide monitoring capabilities for remote analysis, troubleshooting, charger control, and upgrade, reducing operational and maintenance costs.
Indeed, the rise of EVs presents a greenfield opportunity for businesses like Wooding Electric. We are committed to serving our clients in this transition and are excited about the endless opportunities that EV charging stations present, not just for us, but for business owners and advertisers seeking to target the growing EV demographic.
At Wooding Electric, we are powering the future, one charging station at a time. For a seamless EV charging installation service, you can reach us at 408-740-3616. Learn more from https://youtu.be/GQ5CH41e_Fw
