Paul is back to answer one of the most common EV charger questions: will you need a panel upgrade?
Because panel upgrades can be expensive, it’s important to speak with a certified EV installer before moving forward. In many cases, you may be able to avoid the added cost altogether. If a panel upgrade is required, it could be because your electrical panel is outdated or doesn’t have enough capacity to support an EV charger.
Every home is different, which is why working with a qualified EV installer is so important. They can assess your system, explain your options, and help you understand exactly what’s needed for your specific setup.
