Which EV charger do you actually need?
Most people buy the biggest charger they can find, then find out their car can't use it. Answer five questions and see how fast you'd really charge, and what circuit it needs.
EV Charger Check
How fast you'll actually charge, and what circuit it needs. No email needed.
An estimate, not a quote. Circuit size follows NEC 625.42: EV charging is a continuous load, so the breaker is sized at 125% of the charger's rating. Real range per hour varies with temperature, battery state and driving. Your install also depends on the run from the panel, breaker spaces and your city's requirements.

Your car sets the limit
Every EV has an onboard charger that caps how fast it takes AC power. If yours tops out at 7.7 kW, a 48 amp wall unit charges no faster than a 32 amp one.
The 125% rule
EV charging is a continuous load, so the breaker is sized at 125% of the charger's rating. A 40 amp charger needs a 50 amp circuit. That's NEC 625.42, and it's what the inspector checks.
Overnight is plenty
You have about 12 hours between getting home and leaving again. For most drivers a Level 2 charger replaces a full day's driving in that window, easily.
