Procurement Guide
Commercial charging equipment is sold through an ecosystem of authorized partners — resellers, installer networks, and electrical contractors. Faith Energy works with and within all of it. This guide covers how the ecosystem works, and the checklist that makes any purchase go well.
The Ecosystem
Manufacturers don’t sell commercial hardware directly — they authorize channel partners to sell, install, commission, and support it. Buyers meet that ecosystem in three forms, and strong projects come out of all three.
Carry manufacturer lines with authorized pricing, warranty registration, and program-eligible equipment. The right first stop for hardware — and the reason “authorized” matters: many utility incentives require equipment sourced through authorized channels.
Coordinate vetted local electricians under standardized pricing and scheduling — an efficient way to deliver installations at scale, and a model we know from the inside: Faith Energy performs field work within national charging programs.
Deliver the project itself — design, make-ready, installation, commissioning — under an electrical license. For scopes involving service upgrades, utility coordination, or multiple sites, the contractor is where project accountability naturally lives.
Where We Fit
We’re an authorized reseller and certified installer for twelve charging brands, a field partner within national charging programs, and a self-performing electrical contractor with in-house engineering. That means you can buy from us at whatever depth the project needs — equipment alone, engineering review, or the complete project under one contract — and the same engineers stand behind all three.
Start a project reviewBefore You Order
This is the review our engineers run before any equipment order — ours included. Every item takes a qualified vendor minutes to answer, in writing.
Confirm the plan covers the full electrical path — panel or service work, conduit, trenching, restoration — with utility-side work explicitly stated in or out. Electrical infrastructure is commonly the largest line item in the project.
Verify the equipment fits the site’s available capacity, or that the plan includes the upgrade — or the load-management design — required to support it.
Check that the specific hardware model appears on the relevant utility and program eligibility lists, and that applications are sequenced correctly — many programs require approval before construction begins.
Understand whether the hardware can change networks later or is committed to one platform. Charging hardware serves for a decade; software contracts renew annually.
Confirm who performs manufacturer commissioning, network activation, and testing — and that these are in the price. Warranties and program payouts frequently depend on documented commissioning.
Establish who provides maintenance and parts after handover, and the response commitment. The answer matters more in year three than any difference on the original quote.
