"Keeping You Powered Up & Connected"

FM Cibort are Master licensed Unlimited Electrical Contractors that have built direct relationships with the top EV Charging Station Manufacturers. There's no need to deal with a middle-man that is just marking up our labor and ultimately increasing your project costs. These manufacturers have trusted us to provide the technical sales and installation of their charging station projects since back in 2009. We are your direct source to receiving a trusted, professional charger installation from the manufacturer/brand of your choice. We’ve built our reputation by providing the best service and delivery from a commercial and technical standpoint. 

We manage all aspects of the charging station projects right down to warranty and non-warranty issues, deciding with the manufacturers the best solution to keep you charging. Project Management FM Cibort has a long-term experience of managing multiple projects on an ongoing basis. Every project requires the coordination of various sectors to deliver a successful result. The advantage of a well-oiled system allows FM Cibort a high success rate of on time deliveries and repeated orders from current customers. We communicate with our customer on the progress of their project from start to successful commissioning.  Turnkey Installation Services 

This section summarizes the basic steps that FM Cibort takes when a customer requires a charger and our turnkey installation services. 

FM Cibort follows a standard procedure to define with its customer the scope of the work (load capacity, station location, power requirements, path from electrical panel to the charging station location). Through this process, we determine the most effective package (Only if the customer has not already made that decision) including the type of charging station that best fits the specific requirements, and the most economical installation solution. 

EV Charging Station Solutions 

Here are the steps we follow: 

1. Site Survey 

The Site Survey is the first step of all installations. The customer has already decided to purchase one or more chargers. In some cases, the customer has already decided the source of power and the location of the station. In some other cases the customers rely on FM Ciborts experience to define the project. During the Site Survey, FM Cibort finds the lowest cost/most efficient installation solution. We look for the electrical panel/s, we define if there is enough power to feed the chargers. If there is enough power, we choose the panel closest to the location where the charger/s will be installed. If there is not enough power, we suggest alternatives. We define the path for the conduits and wires. Depending on the charger location, the wires are brought along walls/ceilings or by trenching in the grass, cement or asphalt. After a site survey, we use the information provided to prepare a quote. 

2. Proposal 

The proposal details the job that FM Cibort will perform including the EV charging station with related network licenses, extended warranties when apply, the installation costs and a projected installation timeline. 

3. Order Processing 

PO’s follow a standard procedure and once processed we send our customer the shipping notification and tracking numbers. 

4. Installation Services 

FM Cibort have listed herewith the steps required to perform an installation: If Permits are necessary: City/Town permitting is the first step of the process. Speed and cost vary depending on the specific location. In some cases, we can get a permit within the same day of the application; in some other cases, it could take much longer (up to 1 month in our experience) specially if engineering drawings are requested with the permitting submission. Engineer Drawings: These are common with larger projects; we receive signed engineering drawings provided by the customer and we submit them to the authorities to get the permit to install. Capacity: Electrical Panels typically have sufficient power to support additional breakers in more than 65% of FM Cibort’s installations. In the other cases the electrical panel will require an upgrade. The related costs depend on power required and the age of the current electrical panel. Sometimes we replace the panel and in other cases we can add a sub-panel. Installation: Wiring from the electrical panel varies depending on its distance to the final location; there will be various options and FM Cibort always tries to find the most effective solution. In parking facilities, it is generally possible to bring the wire along walls/ceiling. When the electrical panel is inside a building and the final location is in an open parking lot, trenching will be necessary, and costs will vary if it will be done in grass/dirt, concrete, or asphalt. The wiring and conduit are another variable related to the distance from the electrical panel to the final location. The farther the distance, the larger the wire gauge, and the installation will be more expensive. When trenching is required, FM Cibort will re-patch the site to its original conditions. All stations need to be anchored to a concrete pad or the wall, connected to the wires coming from the electrical panel, and then activated and tested. Sometimes the local authorities will inspect the installation before allowing us to power the station. They verify that all labor, materials meet the local codes. Once we have the final approval, we can power the station. 

5) Station Activation 

FM Cibort commissioned the first stations at Union Deposit in 2009. Since then to date, we have commissioned approx. 1,870 stations. 

6) User Training 

Once the station is ready, FM Cibort arranges the training of the users. If the installed station is networked, FM Cibort Technical Department will train the administrator and all additional personnel assigning the level of access. FM Cibort continues monitoring all its installed stations on a continual basis. We send report to our customers to show usage and percentage of saturation. When we see that a station needs service, FM Cibort will arrange for maintenance service and coordinate with the customer the access to the station.

 7) Ongoing station supervision 

As part of FM Cibort’s customer service commitment, we offer continual monitoring of all the networked stations that we installed and give feedback to the customer on usage and initiate a service action when the station needs it.
