CHARGE AHEAD with Winn-Marion
What We Do SITE ASSESSMENT & FEASIBILITY We walk your site, pull the available service capacity, identify the trenching and conduit path, and determine what it will really cost – including the utility service upgrade. If your site doesn’t pencil, we’ll let you know.
ELECTRICAL DESIGN & ENGINEERING Load calculations, one-lines, panel schedules, service coordination and stamped drawings by the same team that builds UL-listed control panels and power distribution for gas plants and processing facilities.
PERMITTING & UTILITY COORDINATION Permitting is the single most common reason EV projects slip. We manage AHJ submittals, revisions and inspections, and we coordinate the utility application, make-ready enrollment and metering requirements on your behalf.
REBATE & INCENTIVE CAPTURE Federal, state and utility programs have their own deadlines, pre-approval sequences and documentation requirements – and most require approval before you break ground. We identify what you qualify for and manage the paperwork.
INSTALLATION 50+ years of industrial electrical engineering behind every project. Our own licensed electrical contractor with a team of master electricians and factory-trained EV technicians. Not subbed out to whoever was available.
COMMISSIONING & ACTIVATION Charger startup, network provisioning, pricing and access policy configuration, backend account setup and driver-facing app visibility. Your chargers work on day one and show up on the maps drivers actually use.
ONGOING SERVICE & WARRANTY Preventive maintenance, warranty administration, parts stocking and field repair by Winn-Marion technicians already in your region.
Winn-Marion designs, installs, and services commercial EV charging and is a factory-authorized distributor for four leading charger manufacturers.
Where We Work Winn-Marion has served the Rocky Mountain and Great Plains region since 1972, with branch locations and field technicians across 11 states.
No call center or subcontractor list: our own people, with trucks, in your state.
Brands We Carry We partner with four manufacturers chosen because they solve different problems. Here’s an honest look at where each one fits.
ChargePoint operates the largest EV charging network in North America, which matters more than it sounds. When a driver opens a charging app looking for a station, network reach determines whether your site gets found. ChargePoint also offers the deepest set of site-host tools — access control by group, dynamic pricing, waitlists, utilization reporting, and fleet scheduling.
BEST FOR
Workplace, retail, multifamily, hospitality, municipal fleets
STRENGTH
Largest driver network in North America
LEVELS
AC up to 19.2 kW · DC 62.5–500 kW
NEED TO KNOW: ChargePoint hardware carries a required network subscription. Excellent value if you need the network and the software tools. If you’re charging a fleet behind a gate and don’t need public visibility, ask us about lower-cost alternatives.
Winn-Marion has represented ABB for decades across our industrial automation, instrumentation, and electrical businesses. The EV relationship isn’t a new vendor agreement — it’s an extension of one of the deepest manufacturer partnerships in our company. ABB brings more than 135 years of electrical engineering to charging hardware, and their heavy-duty and pantograph solutions remain the reference point for electric transit.
BEST FOR
Transit, heavy-duty, industrial, high-power corridor
STRENGTH
Engineering depth and durability
LEVELS
AC up to 19.2 kW · DC up to 400 kW (1.2 MW for trucks)
NEED TO KNOW: Premium industrial-grade hardware, built for durability and scale rather than lowest first cost. For smaller single-site installs, we'll tell you if another brand is a better fit. ABB is also more system than a small commercial or single-site retail install typically needs, as it’s engineered for heavy-duty & transit-scale deployments.
Kempower’s architecture separates the power cabinet from the charging satellites. One cabinet feeds multiple dispensers and the system allocates power dynamically to whichever vehicles are actually drawing. In a bus depot where twelve vehicles plug in overnight but never all charge at peak simultaneously, that means you buy substantially less power capacity — and less utility service upgrade — for the same operational result. This also means expansion is a satellite add (not a new service).
BEST FOR
Bus depots, truck fleets, any site that will grow
STRENGTH
Dynamic power sharing across satellites
LEVELS
DC only · up to 1,200 kW per cabinet
NEED TO KNOW: The modular architecture takes more up-front design work than a plug-andplay unit. That’s where we earn our keep — sizing the power cabinet correctly against your real duty cycle is the whole ballgame.
Autel entered EV charging from the automotive diagnostics world and has been aggressive on price-to-performance. Their DC lineup delivers competitive power at a lower capital cost than legacy manufacturers, and their AC units are well built for the money. For a property owner deploying twelve Level 2 ports across a multifamily complex, the per-port savings are real.
BEST FOR
Multifamily, workplace, budget-constrained DC
STRENGTH
Price-to-performance
LEVELS
AC up to 19.2 kW · DC 40–640 kW
NEED TO KNOW: Autel is a newer entrant in North American EV charging than ABB or ChargePoint. That’s precisely why buying it from a distributor with local service technicians matters more than buying it online.
Products We Deploy
Fleets A retail parking lot and a bus depot aren’t the same engineering job. Fleet charging means predictable overnight windows, vehicles that all need to be ready by a set hour, and usually a duty cycle where you can size for average draw instead of peak draw if the system is built right. Get that sizing wrong and you’re paying for a utility service upgrade you didn’t need.
Segments We Serve Taxi and Passenger
Buses and Transit
Fast turnaround charging so vehicles spend more time on the road than plugged in.
Automated, high-power charging for school buses and public transit, including pantograph systems for overhead depot and en-route charging.
Delivery and Service
Municipal and Rental
Class 3–8 trucks and service vehicles charged overnight on a schedule your dispatch can plan around.
Charging infrastructure sized for fleets that scale — add vehicles without rebuilding your electrical service.

Depot Architecture for Scale
Heavy-duty and Pantograph Charging
One power cabinet feeds multiple charging satellites, allocating power dynamically to vehicles actually drawing. In a depot where twelve vehicles plug in overnight but never all charge at peak simultaneously, that means less installed power capacity (and a smaller utility upgrade) for the same result. Expansion is a satellite add, not a new electrical service.
Over a century of electrical engineering behind ABB’s HVC depot charging for buses and Class 6–8 trucks, plus automated pantograph systems (up and down) for transit fleets — the reference point for electric transit charging. A roofmounted pantograph allows the charging of larger fleets of electric buses overnight.
How We Help You Choose We don’t get paid more to sell you one brand over another, and we’ll say directly when a lower-cost option will do the job. The selection conversation usually comes down to five questions:
• • • • •
How much power does your service actually have available? This constrains everything else, and it’s the first thing we measure. Public or private? Public sites need network reach and payment processing. Gated fleet depots often don’t. What does year five look like? If you’re going from four ports to forty, modular architecture saves you from rebuilding. What’s your duty cycle? Overnight depot charging and fifteen-minute corridor turns are different machines. Who’s fixing it in year three? Whatever you buy, someone has to service it locally.

Contract Vehicles and Public-Sector Purchasing Winn-Marion holds an awarded NASPO ValuePoint contract for EV Charging Station Equipment and Services. This allows participating states, counties, municipalities, school districts, and other public entities to purchase EV charging equipment and services without running a separate competitive solicitation. If you’re a public agency, this can take months off your procurement timeline.
