Commercial EV Chargers
Many businesses now offer EV charging for customers or employees, or require large-scale commercial EV charging for their own fleets. In-house EV charging offers a flexible, affordable energy solution for your vehicles, and means you have more control over the costs and management of your vehicles. Cromwell Solar offers comprehensive, knowledgeable EV charger installation for businesses, with the capability to give you EV charging at scale.
Cromwell Solar installs commercial EV chargers meant for multiple-car EV charging throughout Kansas and Missouri. Using our own experienced, certified, and licensed electricians, Cromwell can help businesses navigate the complexities of a commercial EV charger installation and make the entire process easy.
That includes helping you decide what kind of EV charger to install. Cromwell installs both Level 2 and Level 3 EV chargers for businesses, depending on their needs. Level 2 chargers are ideal for customers and employees, and can fully charge a typical vehicle overnight, which is ideal for fleet vehicle you can plug in after business hours. Level 3 EV chargers, also called DC fast chargers can add over 100 miles of range in just 30 minutes. Level 3 chargers are great for situations in which you or your employees might need to charge on shorter timelines, or when you have multiple electric vehicles to charge.
Cromwell installed both solar panels and commercial EV chargers for the Merc Co-op in Lawrence, Kansas.
At Cromwell we understand the higher tech solutions that many conventional electric shops just don’t work with. We can assist in determining what type of EV chargers you may need, from Level 2 EV chargers for employees and customers up to blazing fast Level 3 DC fast chargers for your fleet of electric cars and trucks. Cromwell can install EV charging stations that either dispense power for free, or which alternatively come with a built-in payment system that allows you to be compensated for the electricity that is used.
The smart EV chargers Cromwell installs come with additional benefits for businesses, such as the ability to share circuits, meaning less electrical infrastructure and lower installation costs.

Commercial EV Charging Rebates and Incentives
Currently, a number of financial incentives for EV charger installation are available for businesses (including nonprofits), including rebates directly from utilities and tax credits from the federal government. These incentives may soon disappear, however, meaning you should act quickly to maximize your savings for EV charger installation.
At Cromwell Solar we are experts in commercial EV charger rebates and EV charger tax credits, and we can help select solutions that maximize your incentives. Importantly, EV charger rebates and tax credits work the same whether the electricity is provided free or if you are charging users for the electricity using a built-in payment system.
An EV charger utility rebate example in both Kansas and Missouri is the Evergy commercial EV charger rebate. It gives a business up to $2500 for each Level 2 charger they install, up to a total of $25,000. In Missouri, another significant EV charger rebate comes from Ameren Electric, which pays back up to 50% of the total cost of installing commercial Level 2 chargers up to a maximum incentive of $90,000. Other Kansas and Missouri utilities also offer EV charger rebates — ask us about what incentives may be available for you. Some restrictions exist in all utility rebates and tax credits.
The Federal Tax Credit for EV Chargers
The federal tax credit for commercial EV charger installation is worth 30% of the total cost for hardware and installation costs up to a maximum amount of $100,000. This EV charger tax credit is also eligible for “direct pay” from the IRS meaning that non-profits including churches, non-profit organizations, and local, state, or tribal governments may qualify.
The EV charger tax credit was amended in January of 2024 to restrict it to certain geographic areas; basically the tax credit is moving to only apply to geographic areas with less EV infrastructure — specifically lower income and less-urban census tracts.
