EVSE RESIDENTIAL
When choosing the right EVSE for home a few factors need to be considered.
What power is required for a level 2 EVSE?
Level 2 chargers support charging from 20a-50a depending on available power. It is recommended that a minimum 40a circuit be installed to allow for faster charging and ensure that you are able to meet future EV requirements. EV’s have built in systems to only allow rated power to charge the EV, so installing a larger system than is required will not harm your EV.
What’s the difference between WIFI connected and non connected EVSE?
A connected EVSE allows you set a charging schedule and to monitor the charge level and power consumed. All this is done through an app put out by the EVSE manufacturer. A non connected EVSE does not store any information and you simply need to plug it in to begin charging.
Do I need a WIFI connected EVSE?
The short answer is no. Residential services in Alberta are not currently billed by time of day and there is a flat rate for electricity. Another thing to consider is that many cars currently have all the smart features built into them making the smart features on an EVSE redundant.
Do I need to upgrade my panel/service size?
A costly panel upgrade is something we try to avoid by installing either a sub panel and/or energy management systems. Energy management units monitor your home’s electricity usage and only supply power to the EVSE when it is safe to do so, helping you to avoid a costly service upgrade. Energy management systems for 30-50a EVSE are best suited for homes with 100a service or more. Homes built after 1980 should have a minimum 100a service. If you have an older home with a 60a service, a panel upgrade may not suffice and a service upgrade could be required. Service upgrades are typically costly. If necessary, a dedicated 20a circuit with an energy management system would be the economical choice. The size of your service can easily be determined by looking at the main breaker on your electrical panel.
