For anyone in commercial real estate currently tasked with addressing charging stations for #electricvehicles and/or other electrical needs at your property, the below graphic explains part of the reason why you're seeing:
▪️Lead times of 2-3 weeks (or more) to get an electrician onsite
▪️Jobs taking longer than expected to complete
▪️Labor costs increasing
A 2-port install is competing against jobs where a property is putting in 10-ports. If you were in their shoes, where would you want to spend your time?
From an #EVcharging perspective, expect to see more companies charge upfront to engage with clients, for electrical site surveys, and for any work that requires the expertise of a skilled licensed electrician.
Baby boomers continue to retire from the industry causing further shortages.
As I said at the start of this year, the earlier you begin to address electrification in your buildings, the less likely you're at the "back of the line" scrambling to find an electrician in coming years.
