The Rise of EV Charging in the Inland Empire

The Inland Empire Is Going Electric
The Inland Empire — spanning Riverside and San Bernardino counties — has become one of the fastest-growing regions in California for electric vehicle adoption. With long commute distances, growing fleets, and an expanding warehouse and logistics sector, the demand for commercial EV charging stations has never been higher.
Whether you manage a retail center in Ontario, a corporate campus in Rancho Cucamonga, or a distribution fleet in Fontana, installing EV charging infrastructure is quickly becoming a competitive necessity. At LD Electrical Service, we design and install commercial EV charging stations throughout the Inland Empire.
Why Commercial EV Charging Matters
Attract and Retain Tenants and Employees
Properties with EV charging stations command higher tenant satisfaction and longer lease renewals. For employers, offering workplace charging is a top-tier amenity that supports employee retention, especially as EV adoption grows among commuters traveling from Temecula to San Bernardino.
Future-Proof Your Property
EV infrastructure is easier and cheaper to install during new construction or a renovation than to retrofit later. Running conduit and adding panel capacity for future chargers — a practice known as "make-ready" — saves significant money over time.
Fleet Electrification
Logistics companies across the Inland Empire are beginning to electrify their fleets. DC fast charging stations allow fleet vehicles to recharge quickly between routes. Our team handles the heavy-duty electrical work — including equipment power systems and utility coordination — that fleet charging requires.
What to Expect During Installation
A commercial EV charging project involves several steps:
- Load assessment — We evaluate your existing electrical capacity to determine how many chargers your panel can support.
- Utility coordination — For large installations, we coordinate with the utility for potential service upgrades. Learn more about our electrical utility services.
- Make-ready infrastructure — We install conduit, wiring, and disconnects to prepare for current and future chargers.
- Charger installation — We mount and wire Level 2 or DC fast charging units from leading manufacturers.
- Commissioning — We test and certify the installation for safe, reliable operation.
