Questions about ev chargers
Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?
Not necessarily. Many homes have enough spare capacity, and smart chargers with load management can avoid an upgrade. We confirm with a load calculation before you commit.
Can you install the charger I already own?
Yes, provided it is a listed Level 2 unit suitable for the location. Hardwired chargers are generally preferable to plug-in units for daily use.
