    Panel and code calculations don’t care about those yet and it’s going to be a long time until they do.

      It’s fun seeing someone with so little understanding of electricity spreading the misinformation someone else fed them.

      Most houses existing panel have the capacity for a level 2 charger.

        100amp or 200amp? I figured a main upgrade will be inevitable with the push to electrify more than the car in houses.

          Depends, a 200amp nearly for sure has capacity. A 100amp likely does, but depends how electrified they already are, but many smaller houses that still heat with natural gas will have lots of space left in a 100 amp service

        Strange, most homes where I live only have 20-50 amp services, neither being enough for a level 2 with all the other required panel loads.

        News flash, codes are different in different places!
