A home charging setup planned around your vehicle, your daily driving, and what your electrical panel can actually handle.

How much charger
do you actually need?

Home charging should be sized to your daily miles, your vehicle, and your panel's capacity, not the biggest charger on the shelf.

03 / THE OVERNIGHT WINDOW

Most charging
happens while you sleep.

The goal is simple: replace the miles you drove today before you leave tomorrow. Scheduled charging does that work overnight, when the car is parked anyway and rates can be lower.

ILLUSTRATIVE WEEKDAYSCHEDULE MODE / AUTO
  1. ARRIVE6:20 PM

    Plug in once. The vehicle can wait for the planned start time.

  2. CHARGE WINDOW11 PM to 4 AM

    The circuit, charger, and vehicle work together inside the available window.

  3. READY6:15 AM

    The goal is enough range for the next day, not maximum output for its own sake.

04 / THE GARAGE

Make charging disappear into the routine.

Charging speed is only part of the decision. The right plan also considers how far you drive each day, how long the car sits at home, your panel's capacity, where the charger goes, and whether solar is part of the picture.

05 / VERIFY THE HOME

Do not assume the
panel needs an upgrade.

The right electrical path comes from the home’s actual capacity, loads, parking location, and charging goal. A qualified installer confirms the final circuit and code requirements on site.
