The NEC 220.82 math gives your home credit for how it actually runs — not the worst case your breaker ratings suggest. Like a CarFax for your electrical panel: know its true capacity before anyone bids an upgrade. Why upgrade quotes go wrong|How ChargeRight compares
Estimate based on our founder's field experience and NEC 220.82 modeling of typical home profiles. Your home's answer comes from your numbers.
Straight answers
Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?
Most homes do not. The NEC 220.82 optional method gives credit for how your home actually runs, and a lot of panels have more room than the fast quote assumes. The check tells you whether yours does.
What do I receive with the assessment?
A plain-English verdict on whether your panel can take the charger, the exact circuit size your car needs, and the full NEC 220.82 load report with every number behind it - ready to hand your electrician. PDF included.
Is this NEC compliant?
The report runs the NEC 220.82 optional load calculation, the same method a licensed electrician puts on a permit drawing. It is a pre-assessment, not a permit or a final electrical design.
Is ChargeRight an electrical contractor or electrician service?
No. I do not bid, schedule, or sell installs, and no contractor pays to be recommended. This is the math, not a sales funnel. No upsell, ever.
How much does ChargeRight cost compared to an electrician?
The assessment is $12.99. The same calculation done in person typically runs $150 to $300 as a service call.
Will my house handle a Level 2 charger?
That is exactly the question the check answers. Pick your car, answer the panel questions, and you get an honest yes or no - with the numbers to back it.
Know before you spend thousands.
