Related questions
Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?
Often yes. A 50A circuit for a Level 2 charger is hard to fit on a 100A panel running modern HVAC + appliances. Upgrade first, charge second.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
4–8 hours of work, but you'll lose power for 2–4 hours during the swap. Schedule a weekday morning.
