Getting your home ready for an EV

A wall charger draws a lot of power for hours at a time. Before installing one, John checks your switchboard and supply to make sure they can handle the extra load safely. This matters most in older homes, where the switchboard and wiring were never designed for it.

What is involved

A visit to look at your switchboard, supply and where you park
Advice on where to mount the charger and how to run the cable
