Why Electrical Panel Upgrades Are Needed

Electrical panel upgrades to a 200-amp or higher panel ensures compatibility with Level 2 chargers, delivering faster charging. This cuts home charging time from 24+ hours to 4–8 hours, and businesses can offer quick charging to attract more EV customers. 

 Older panels (100 amps or less) often can’t handle the additional load of an EV charger alongside modern appliances. An electrical panel upgrades prevents tripped breakers, ensures safety, and supports multiple high-demand devices for homes or businesses. 

 Home charging with a Level 2 charger costs  $0.16 $0.17 per kWh, saving up to 50% compared to $0.34 per kWh at public stations. A electrical panel upgrade enables this cost effective setup, maximizing long term savings for homeowners and businesses attracting EV drivers. 

 Upgrading to a modern panel reduces risks like overloading, electrical fires, or outages, especially in older homes or businesses with outdated wiring. It ensures safe, reliable operation of level 2 EV charger and other heavy loads.  

 With EV adoption growing (20%+ of U.S. new car sales in 2025), an electrical panel upgrades prepares your home or business for multiple chargers, smart home systems, or other high power tech. It boosts property value and appeal for EV owning buyers or tenants. 

 Many utility companies and governments offer rebates or tax credits (up to $1,000 for homes or more for businesses) for electrical panel upgrades tied to level 2 EV charger installation. This offsets costs and makes the upgrade financially appealing.
