Full-lifecycle EV charging services for dealerships across the Chicago metropolitan area.

We help dealerships meet OEM EV-readiness requirements, maintain charging infrastructure for customers and service vehicles, and provide component-level charging station repair for all major brands.

OEM Requirements and Customer Expectations Are Driving Dealership EV Charging

Manufacturers are requiring dealerships to install EV charging as a condition of receiving electric vehicle allocations. For Chicago-area dealerships, this is a current operational requirement. Beyond compliance, dealership customers increasingly expect charging during:

  • Service visits – customers need their EV topped off while work is performed

  • Test drives and delivery – charged inventory on the lot is a sales requirement

  • Staff and daily operations – the dealership itself needs reliable charging for its growing EV inventory

ATS EV Charging Solutions helps dealerships plan, install, and maintain charging infrastructure that meets manufacturer requirements and serves daily operations.

Common EV Charging Challenges at Automotive Dealerships

OEM requirements are specific and non-negotiable.

Each manufacturer has different charger specs, quantities, and placement rules. Getting it wrong delays allocations. ATS works with dealerships to understand each OEM's requirements and designs compliant infrastructure.

Dealerships need charging stations for multiple use cases.

Customer charging, lot inventory, service department, and staff all require different solutions. ATS designs layouts that address all use cases within your footprint and electrical capacity.

Broken chargers reflect on your brand.

When a customer's charger does not work, it reflects on the dealership. ATS repairs at the component level with rapid response across Chicago. Emergency repair at (630) 984-9711.

From Assessment to Ongoing Support

Step01

Assessment

Evaluate electrical capacity across the full lot footprint, OEM-specific charger requirements per manufacturer, multi-use-case needs (sales lot, service bays, customer lounge, staff), and peak demand during delivery events.

Step02

Design

Create an OEM-compliant layout per manufacturer specs with optimal charger placement for customer visibility and convenience, dedicated circuits for service department turnaround, inventory management charging zones, and identified incentive opportunities.

Step03

Installation

Professional install with minimal disruption to sales operations and customer flow. Phased deployment keeps the lot operational during construction and coordinates with OEM compliance timelines.

Step04

Maintenance

ATS Care plans covering customer-facing chargers where brand perception matters, service department chargers where turnaround time matters, and lot inventory chargers where sales readiness matters.

Step05
