Electric vehicle charging in the driveway of a modern home

BEFORE YOU APPROVE ELECTRICAL WORK

Answer the three questions that matter.

How much charging do you actually need?

Your driving and parking routine determine the charging level that will comfortably keep up.

Will your home support it?

CurrentWise reviews your panel information, major electrical loads, photos, and home context to assess whether the path appears supportable.

Does a panel upgrade appear necessary?

Compare right-sized charging, EV load management, and upgrade paths before approving larger work.

SAMPLE HOME CHARGING REVIEW

A clear answer before a major upgrade.

This homeowner was quoted a panel upgrade. Their driving routine and submitted home information pointed to managed charging as the better first path to evaluate.

YOUR ANSWER

Evaluate managed charging before pricing a panel upgrade.

PANEL UPGRADE ASSESSMENT

A panel upgrade does not appear necessary as the first path to evaluate.

WHY

  • The homeowner drives fewer than 30 miles per day
  • Overnight parking provides flexible charging time
  • The existing panel appears tight for another fixed load
  • Managed charging can adjust output when home demand is high

ALTERNATIVES

  • 24A fixed Level 2 charging
  • 32A fixed Level 2 charging
  • Panel upgrade review if other paths are blocked

Based on submitted information and preliminary NEC-based load analysis. Final installation design is completed by the installer.
