HII How EV Charging Can Affect Your Home or Business Electrical System?
Adding a new EV charger is like adding a mini air conditioner, meaning that it pulls 30–50 amps continuously. Most older panels (pulling at 100-amp or less) will likely need upgrades.
Here is what we check during your free site assessment:
- Load calculation per the National Electrical Code
- Dedicated 240V circuit (40–60 amp breaker typical)
- Panel capacity — we upgrade to 200-amp panels or add subpanels affordably (up to 600-800 amp services available for unique situations)
- Wiring distance from panel to parking spot
- In Monmouth, Middlesex, and Burlington counties, most homes need minor upgrades. We handle electrical panel upgrades for EV chargers seamlessly so your system stays safe and code-compliant. With our service, there are no surprises and no overloaded breakers.
- Permits? Yes — every New Jersey municipality requires an electrical permit and inspection. As licensed EV Charger contractors, we pull permits for you and guarantee passage.
