Upgrade electrical
service to 200 Amps

Upgrading your electrical service to 200 amps is important for supporting the installation of an electric vehicle (EV) charger for several reasons:

  1. Increased Power Demand: Electric vehicle chargers typically require a significant amount of power to charge the vehicle efficiently. A 200-amp electrical service provides more capacity and can handle the increased power demand of EV chargers without overloading the electrical system.
  2. Avoid Overloading the System: Trying to charge an electric vehicle on a lower amp electrical service can overload the circuit and lead to tripped breakers, overheating, or other electrical issues. Upgrading to a 200-amp service ensures that your electrical system can handle the additional load without causing disruptions or safety hazards.
  3. Future-Proofing: As the adoption of electric vehicles continues to grow, having a 200-amp electrical service will future-proof your home for potential upgrades and advancements in EV charging technology. It provides flexibility for adding multiple chargers or accommodating more power-hungry devices in the future.
  4. Compliance with Electrical Codes: Upgrading to a 200-amp electrical service may be necessary to comply with local electrical codes and regulations when installing an EV charger. Proper electrical capacity ensures that the installation meets safety standards and requirements.
  5. Efficient Charging: A higher amp electrical service allows for faster and more efficient charging of electric vehicles. With a 200-amp service, you can take advantage of higher power levels and reduce the time needed to charge your EV, especially if you have a long daily commute or need to charge multiple vehicles.

Overall, upgrading your electrical service to 200 amps for EV chargers is essential for ensuring safe, efficient, and reliable charging of electric vehicles at home. It provides the necessary power capacity, prevents overloads, and prepares your home for future electrical needs related to EV charging and other power-hungry devices.
