Make Ready Program

Driving Business Forward

Our Make Ready Program removes the biggest financial hurdle of installing electric chargers at your location by installing, owning and maintaining the electrical infrastructure behind your meter up to the charger. We help you make installing electric charging infrastructure affordable so your business can be prepared for the growing electric vehicle market and support sustainability efforts.

We have temporarily closed our application process to finalize new requirements for the 2023-2025 Make Ready program. Check back in spring, as we hope to begin receiving new applications in April.

Value & Affordability

Program removes significant financial hurdle to electrification.

Walk the Talk

Improve air quality and lower CO2 emissions.

Important Amenity

More than 100 new electric vehicle models in the next 5 years.

How the program works:

We will install, own and operate all of the charging infrastructure behind the customer meter all the way up to your charger, including the panel, switchgear, wiring, conduits and disconnects.

  1. Application. Once you’ve applied to get your charger installed, one of our experts will work with you to verify the application and your needs.

  2. Site review. Our experts will conduct a site review to make sure there is power readily available at your desired charger locations.

  3. Project planning & contract. Once the site plan is completed, the project can be approved and a contract is signed.

  4. Installation is completed.

If new, what is the current stage of construction?

What type of property/facility is this?

How many electric vehicle charging ports are currently installed at this facility?

Where would you like these chargers to be installed (Surface lot, Parking Deck, Inside Warehouse)?

Project Assessment

Desired installation time frame?

Has a site assessment by a certified electrician been performed to check electrical panel capacity?

Is the existing panel capacity adequate to support the # of chargers being added?

What voltage is the power source? (i.e. 3Phase 277/480, 1Phase 120/240, 120/208)
