Three steps. About ten minutes.
Answer what you know
Your car, how far you drive, where you park, and which big appliances run on electricity.
Snap the meter and panel
Photos from a step back, panel door open, cover left on. We show you exactly how far to go.
Get your report
A verdict, the math behind it, a cost range, and the questions to ask. Keep it, or send it to a local electrician for a quote.
One of five honest answers
We try the cheapest path first. Most homes never need the expensive one.
Plug and go
Room for the charger you want, as-is. One new 240 V circuit.
Fits, set smarter
Fits with the charger set lower or with load management. Still full by morning.
Check real usage
Fails on paper, often passes on a year of your actual usage data.
Needs capacity
No path without more capacity or panel space. We show the likely scope.
Call a pro first
Something you saw, like a recalled panel brand, needs a professional look.
The door opens. The cover stays on.
Everything we ask for is visible without tools. We will never ask you to:
- Remove the panel cover, the inner metal plate held by screws
- Touch the meter, its glass, or its seal
- Flip, pull or reset breakers
- Put anything inside the panel or meter base
In Northwest PA, Ohio and New York, your report goes straight to a local electrician.
Send your finished report with one tap. They see your photos, panel and charger plan before they call, so the quote is faster and closer to the real number.

Before you start
Is this a real load calculation?
It runs the same method an electrician uses for an existing home, with the numbers you give us. A licensed electrician still checks it on site before any work or permit.
Why does my code edition matter?
Towns enforce different editions of the National Electrical Code. The 2026 edition counts an EV charger by its nameplate rating and treats new loads differently, so the same house can pass under one edition and not another.
Will anyone call me?
Only if you choose to send your report to an electrician. Until you tap Send, nothing leaves this page.
What if I have solar or a home battery?
We still check your panel, but skip the usage-data shortcut. Solar hides your true demand in utility data, so an electrician needs to look.
