A second EV adds another continuous load to the service calculation. We document both configured loads and then evaluate dedicated circuits, a compatible listed load-management design, or a service change.
Key Takeaways
- Coordinated charging must be supported by the exact listed equipment and manufacturer instructions.
- Feeder or branch-circuit topology, overcurrent protection, conductors, communications, and configured output are model- and design-specific.
- Dedicated circuits remain a separate option when the load calculation and panel support them.
Pick the electrical method, then the EVSE
A marketing label or app screen does not establish an approved load-management topology. The exact equipment listing and instructions, breaker and conductor ratings, continuous-load calculation, communications, settings, and AHJ-approved design control the installation.
