Our Electric Vehicle Charging Station Installation Services at Gate Entries
Integrated Gate and Charging System Design
Our integrated design approach combines security gate functionality with electric vehicle charging capabilities in one cohesive system. We analyze your property's traffic patterns, power requirements, and security needs to create optimal solutions.
Each installation features custom ironwork that houses both access controls and charging equipment seamlessly. The design process includes power load calculations, electrical infrastructure assessment, and integration planning with existing security systems.
Our engineers ensure proper spacing and positioning for both vehicle access and charging connector reach. These integrated systems maintain aesthetic appeal while providing practical functionality for both security and EV charging needs.
Level 2 Charging Station Installation
Level 2 charging stations operate on 240-volt power and provide approximately 25 miles of range per hour of charging. These systems are ideal for gate entries where vehicles may be parked for extended periods during business hours.
Installation costs typically range from $3,500 to $15,000 per port depending on electrical infrastructure requirements. Our Level 2 installations include weatherproof enclosures, cable management systems, and integration with gate access controls.
Each station features smart charging capabilities with network connectivity for monitoring and payment processing. The systems accommodate various connector types and are compatible with all major electric vehicle models currently available.
DC Fast Charging Integration
For properties requiring rapid charging capabilities, we integrate DC fast charging systems directly into gate entry infrastructure. These high-powered systems can charge vehicles to 80% capacity in 20-30 minutes using 480-volt DC power.
Installation costs range from $18,000 to over $350,000 per port due to advanced technology and power requirements. Our DC fast charging installations require significant electrical infrastructure upgrades and specialized equipment.
These systems are ideal for commercial properties, fleet operations, and high-traffic facilities. Integration with gate controls allows for seamless access management while providing premium charging services.
Smart Access Control and Payment Systems
Our smart systems integrate EV charging with sophisticated access control technology for comprehensive property management. These systems accommodate various access methods including proximity cards, keypads, license plate recognition, and smartphone applications.
Payment processing capabilities allow for revenue generation through charging fees while maintaining security protocols. Remote control capabilities enable operators to manage both gate access and charging operations from any internet-connected location.

FAQs
At Orange County Artesian Custom Iron Gates, we specialize in designing, manufacturing, and installing high-quality electric vehicle charging stations at gate entries throughout Orange County. Here are answers to common questions about our industrial services.
What are the costs associated with electric vehicle charging station installation at gate entries?
Installation costs vary significantly based on charging level and electrical infrastructure requirements. Level 2 installations typically range from $3,500 to $15,000 per port, while DC fast charging systems range from $18,000 to over $350,000 per port. Additional costs include electrical upgrades, permitting, and integration with gate systems.
How long does installation take for integrated gate and charging systems?
Installation timelines typically range from 2-6 weeks depending on system complexity and required electrical work. Simple Level 2 installations may be completed in 1-2 weeks, while complex DC fast charging systems with extensive electrical upgrades can take 4-6 weeks. We provide detailed project schedules during the planning phase.
What maintenance is required for EV charging stations at gate entries?
Regular maintenance includes monthly cleaning of charging equipment, quarterly electrical inspections, and annual system calibration. Gate integration requires additional attention to mechanical components and access control systems. We offer comprehensive maintenance programs that cover both charging and gate system components.
Can existing gate systems be retrofitted with EV charging capabilities?
Yes, most existing gate systems can be retrofitted with EV charging stations, though modifications may be necessary. Our engineers evaluate existing installations to determine compatibility and identify required electrical upgrades. Retrofitting often requires foundation work and electrical service improvements.
What incentives are available for commercial EV charging installations?
Federal tax credits cover up to 30% of installation costs for commercial EV charging stations. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates and incentives that can significantly reduce project costs. We help identify and apply for available incentive programs to maximize your investment return.
