Electrician handoff worksheet
Prefill from the home charging fit check. Bring this to a licensed electrician with panel photos and two quote requests.
Not DIY wiring instruction.
Safety boundary: Do not remove panel covers, alter wiring, bypass GFCI or code requirements, or size circuits yourself.
Follow local code, utility rules, vehicle/EVSE manuals, permits, inspection, and a qualified electrical contractor.

Panel capacity confirmed? Not yet — load calc / electrician review needed
Fit-check summary Your current overnight window is unlikely to cover a normal day. A dedicated 240V circuit is the simplest durable fix when parking access allows it.
Owner notes for electrician —
Photo checklist (bring or send ahead)
- Main panel with door open, directory visible; covers left in place
- Any subpanel serving garage, carport, or driveway
- Existing outlet(s) near the parking spot and distance to charge port
- Full parking spot from the charge-port side
- Likely cable/conduit path and outdoor exposure
Questions every quote should answer
- Load calculation before recommending amperage or service upgrade?
- Hardwired EVSE vs receptacle — and why?
- Circuit amps, route, disconnect, outdoor rating, GFCI approach?
- Who pulls permit, inspection, labeling, and close-out docs?
- Exclusions: drywall, trenching, panel upgrade, rebate paperwork?
Watch-outs from this plan
- Unknown panel capacity means any new circuit needs a licensed electrician and likely a load calculation.
- This tool is a planning aid, not wiring instructions. Follow local code, utility rules, and manufacturer manuals.
