What EV charging work covers
EV charging projects in the Denver metro typically include selecting a Level 2 charger location, running a dedicated circuit from the panel, mounting the equipment, and inspecting the install. Some sites need a panel or service upgrade first. A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates the project and licensed specialty trades for the electrical work. Cost is project-specific and depends on run length, amperage, and panel condition.
text
Capacity first
Panel space and service size determine whether a charger circuit can be added as-is. Long runs and outdoor mounts add conduit and weatherproofing details.
text
Permits and who coordinates the work
New EV circuits typically need electrical permits and inspections through City and County of Denver Community Planning and Development (or the local building department). Colorado DORA regulates electrical licensing. Cities and counties license general contractors. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license. Autotelic acts as a municipally licensed Denver general contractor and coordinates licensed specialty trades for EV charging scopes.

What buyers should prepare
Vehicle charging needs, parking spot, panel photos if available, and whether the charger is indoor or outdoor.
FAQ
Common questions
Do EV chargers need a Denver permit?
Usually yes for the new electrical circuit. CPD is the common local path inside Denver.
Who handles EV charging permits and licensing?
A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates the project and licensed specialty trades. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license.
Will my panel support a Level 2 charger?
It depends on service size and existing loads. A site assessment should check capacity before ordering equipment.
Hardwired or plug-in EVSE?
Both exist. Hardwired units are common outdoors; the electrical design should match the manufacturer instructions and code.
What information helps define scope?
Parking location, desired amperage, panel photos, indoor vs outdoor, and city or county.

DESIGN SERVICES
Discovery & Site Analysis
Needs + preference programming, site survey, as-built documentation, feasibility.
We walk, measure, and photograph your property — existing conditions, utilities, structure, and constraints. You get the as-built documentation and feasibility read that every later decision rests on.
Learn more →Concept Design & Space Planning
Schematic design, floor plan studies, layout options.
Your scope becomes schematic floor plans you can compare side by side — circulation, daylight, adjacencies, and what each option does to the budget. Layout decisions happen on paper, where changes are cheap.
Learn more →Architectural Design & 3D Renderings
Design development, materials + finishes, photorealistic visualization.
The chosen concept resolves into materials, finishes, fixtures, and lighting — with the automation layer drawn in. Photorealistic renderings let you walk the space and adjust before anything is priced.
Learn more →Construction Documents & Permitting
Full CD sets, structural + MEP engineering coordination, permit-ready drawings.
Approved designs become coordinated architectural, structural, and MEP sheets — the set your jurisdiction permits from and trades build from. We submit, track, and answer review comments.
