Related questions

Why do I need an electrical service upgrade for an EV charger?

An EV charger needs a dedicated 40A circuit. If your 100A service is already 80% loaded (common in Ohio homes with electric AC, dryer, and range), there is no room for the new circuit — the electrical service must upgrade first.
