💡

What This Means for Your Permit

Most homeowners do fine with a 32A Level 2 charger — it adds enough range overnight for typical daily driving. If you have a large-battery EV (80+ kWh) or drive 80+ miles daily, a 48A charger makes a meaningful difference. Both require an electrical permit for the new circuit. See the permit readiness checker for your specific situation.
