EV & Upgrades
EV Charger, Panel & Service Upgrade Questions
Do I need a panel upgrade for a Level 2 EV charger?
Not always. Some homes have enough available electrical capacity for a Level 2 EV charger. Others may need EV load management, a sub-panel, a panel upgrade, or a full electrical service upgrade review.
Can you install a Tesla Wall Connector?
Yes. Hundel Electric installs Tesla Wall Connectors and many universal Level 2 chargers for homes, townhomes, strata properties, parkades, and light commercial properties. See EV charger installation.
What information helps with an EV charger quote?
Helpful details include a photo of the electrical panel, main breaker size, planned charger location, approximate distance from the panel to the charger, charger model, and whether the property is a house, townhouse, strata, parkade, or commercial site.
Can EV load management help avoid a service upgrade?
Sometimes. EV load management can help properties with limited electrical capacity charge safely without immediately upgrading the full service. The panel, service size, charger amperage, and existing electrical loads need to be reviewed first.
Do you install 100 amp to 200 amp service upgrades?
Yes. Hundel Electric provides electrical service upgrade planning where a larger service is required for EV chargers, suites, heat pumps, additions, renovations, shops, or other increased electrical loads.
