EV Charging for Parking Garages and Lots

EV charging for parking garages and surface parking lots, with payment processing, remote monitoring, and 24/7 support from OpConnect in Portland, Oregon.

Most parking facilities run without staff at every level, and nobody is standing next to the chargers. Parking operators need to know their EV charging stations are working without walking the garage to check. We design, install, support, and maintain charging for parking garages and lots, with payment processing, remote monitoring, and 24/7 support so every station keeps running when no one is there.

EV Charging for Parking Garages and Lots

EV Charging for Parking Garages That Run Without Staff

A parking garage or surface parking lot is a different kind of charging location. Drivers come and go at all hours, sessions start and end without anyone on site, and a problem can go unnoticed until an EV driver finds a dead charger. For parking garage owners, parking companies, and parking managers, the best place to start is a plan built for unattended operation. It’s the same approach behind all of our commercial EV charging.

Payment Without an Attendant

Every charging session has to start, run, and close on its own. Our cloud-based software platform provides convenient payment processing for individuals and businesses, so EV drivers can pay without staff handling it. Whether drivers are hourly visitors, monthly or daily permit holders, or tenants of the building, access and payment can be set up for each group of parking spots.

Knowing Every Station Is Working

In a multi-level garage, a charger on the lower floors can be out for days before anyone notices. Remote monitoring and management of your charging stations means your team can see station status, including active charging, from anywhere, and maintenance ticketing keeps every issue on record until it’s fixed. Learn more about our EV charging management software.

Support When No One Is On Site

When a driver has a question at midnight, there’s no attendant to ask. Our 24/7 customer service hotline answers EV drivers directly, and on-site maintenance and repair gets a charger back in service. For valet parking operations, staff can rely on the same support line instead of troubleshooting chargers themselves. That kind of support is part of customer satisfaction at an unattended site.

Why Parking Operators Choose OpConnect

One Partner From Site Assessment to Support

We handle the site assessment, design, EV charger installation, and ongoing support ourselves, so there’s no handoff between an equipment supplier and a separate electrical contractor. Commercial garages, medical centers, and other off-street parking sites get the same team from start to finish.

Commercial EV Chargers Built in Portland, Oregon

Our commercial EV chargers are American-made and built in Portland, Oregon, with 98% hardware uptime. We help you choose the types of chargers that fit the parking spaces in each area of the facility, with fast chargers where turnover is quick and slower charging units where cars park for the day.

Load Management for Existing Garages

Many parking garages, especially older buildings, weren’t designed with EV spaces in mind. During planning we look at your electrical system, electrical panel, and electrical rooms to see whether there’s sufficient electrical capacity, and load management helps keep charging within the power available to the facility.

Charging Across Every Parking Facility

We serve customers in 34 states and 3 Canadian provinces across North America, from single parking lots to portfolios of garages across the United States. Every parking facility runs on the same platform, so property owners and operators manage all of their EV charging infrastructure from one place.

Your Path to Parking Garage EV Chargers

Assess Local Demand and Station Location

We start with how your parking areas are used: who parks where, how long they stay, and where local demand for charging is strongest. That shapes each station location, from entry-level spaces to upper decks.

Design for Your Garage or Lot

We review your electrical infrastructure and plan the electric vehicle supply equipment around your layout, with room for future expansion as more electric cars and plug-in hybrid vehicles park with you. We follow best practices from parking and commercial sites across the country.

Install Without Closing the Facility

We install and test every station with minimal disruption to parking operations, working area by area so the rest of the facility stays open. Before handover, your parking managers know how the system works and who to call.

Monitor, Maintain, and Expand

After installation, we support and maintain your charging with 24/7 monitoring and on-site maintenance and repair. If your garage serves a hotel, see our page on EV charging stations for hotels.

Ready to Add EV Charging to Your Parking Facility?

More drivers are switching from conventional vehicles to electric cars, and many don’t have a home charger, which makes parking garages one of the most practical places to charge. For parking operators, reliable electric charging stations can also support goals around carbon emissions and carbon neutrality.
