EV charger consultation and planning

Before you buy a charger, it helps to know what your home can support. We review your panel capacity, your parking setup and your charging needs, then give you a clear plan for the right charger in the right place.

Overview

Level 2 charging adds a large, continuous load to your electrical system. We look at your existing service and panel, estimate available capacity, and identify the cleanest route from the panel to where you park. If load management or a smart panel could avoid a costly upgrade, we’ll explain those options too.

You come away with a plan you can act on: charger type and amperage, mounting location, what installation involves, and permit considerations.

What’s included

  • Panel capacity and load review
  • Charger type and amperage recommendation
  • Mounting location and cable reach planning
  • Route planning from panel to charger
  • Load management and smart panel options
  • Permit and utility considerations explained

When to call

  • You’re buying or leasing an EV
  • Your panel is older or already full
  • The parking spot is far from the panel
  • You’re comparing chargers and amperage
  • Two EVs, one panel

Common questions

Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?

Not always. Many homes can support a properly sized charger, and load management devices can help avoid an upgrade. A capacity review gives you the real answer.

Which charger should I buy?

It depends on your vehicle, your daily driving and your available capacity. We’ll recommend an amperage and point out which features are worth paying for.
