Common questions
Do I need a bigger panel for an EV charger?
Not always. It depends on your current panel's capacity and load. Ask an electrician to do a load calculation first.
How long does a panel swap take?
Often a day of work, plus scheduling the permit, the utility and the inspection. Ask for the full timeline up front.
