Frequently asked questions
Do I need a hardwired charger?
Not always. Plug-in chargers can work well, but hardwired setups often make sense for higher amperage or cleaner permanent installs.
Can a 100 amp panel still support home charging?
Sometimes yes. The key question is not the panel label alone, but how much spare capacity exists after the home's existing loads are considered.
Why use a local installer page instead of just buying a charger?
Because charger selection and installation complexity are connected. Local quote pages help turn product research into a realistic home setup.
