Embodiments of an electric vehicle (EV) charging system for implementation in structures that house electric vehicles, such as warehouses or parking structures, are disclosed. The EV charging system can be overhead mounted from a building's ceiling, using cable tray for electrical power distribution and an integrated EV charger mounting system, thus eliminating the risk of EV cables and charging handles being dropped on floor areas. The disclosed ceiling mountable system is especially advantageous for electric vehicle fleet charging applications and multi-level parking lot applications, as the disclosed system enables simplification and lowest-total-installed-cost in comparison to traditional ground-mounted EV charging systems and related electrical infrastructure. Another advantage is the use of open cable tray for electrical power cable routing and support, which is easily expandable to accommodate additional EV chargers by adding modular cable tray or cable runs to load center/drop-out sections for EV chargers and cable management.
