What an EV charger really needs in an older Denver house

Most of Denver’s older housing stock was wired for a household that did not charge a car overnight. The charger itself is straightforward; the service feeding it often is not.

Start with the load calculation

A level-two charger is a continuous 40 to 48 amp load. On a 100-amp service already running a furnace and a range, that will not fit without either an upgrade or a load-management device.

Load management is often the cheaper answer

A device that throttles the charger when the rest of the house is busy can avoid a full service upgrade entirely. We price both so you can choose.
