EV Estimate
NEC-compliant electrical analysis
NEC-compliant electrical panel analysis for home EV charger installs. Instant compliance checking.
The Problem
Homeowners wanting to install EV chargers face a confusing process. Will their electrical panel support it? Do they need an upgrade? What will it cost? Most have to pay for an electrician site visit just to get basic answers.
Electricians spend time on preliminary assessments that could be automated. The National Electrical Code (NEC) calculations are standardized but require expertise to apply correctly.
The Approach
EV Estimate provides instant NEC-compliant electrical panel analysis for residential EV charger installations. Users input their panel specifications and existing loads, and the tool calculates:
- Available capacity for EV charger - Required circuit breaker size - Whether panel upgrade is needed - Estimated installation cost range - NEC code compliance verification
The calculations follow NEC Article 220 load calculation standards, ensuring recommendations are code-compliant. This gives homeowners accurate information upfront and helps electricians qualify leads before site visits.
