PermitEV – AI-Powered EV Engineering & Permitting
Free tool — inside ChatGPT

Can your panel handle an EV charger?

EV Load Check is a free PermitEV app for ChatGPT. Ask in plain English, get a real NEC-based answer in seconds — no signup, no jargon, no spreadsheets. It runs the same residential load math behind our permit packages.

Ask it things like

“Can my 100 amp panel handle a 48 amp EV charger?”
“What size wire and breaker do I need for a 40 amp EV charger?”
“My garage is 150 feet from the panel. Will 6 gauge wire have voltage drop problems?”
“I'm in Georgia. Are there rebates for installing a home EV charger?”

What it checks

Panel capacity

Whether your panel has headroom for the charger, using the NEC residential demand method — not a guess, an actual load calculation.

Wire and breaker size

The right breaker, wire gauge, and ground wire for your charger's amps, with the continuous-load rule applied.

Voltage drop

Whether a long garage or driveway run needs a bigger wire, checked against the 3% recommendation.

Georgia rebates

Current Georgia Power program and state tax credit numbers for home charger installs.

How it works

  1. Open ChatGPT and find EV Load Check in the app directory
  2. Ask your question in plain English, with the numbers you know
  3. Get a straight answer with the math shown — and what to do next

Straight math, honest answers

The answers come from National Electrical Code residential rules: the 220.83 demand method for your existing load, the 125% continuous-load rule for the charger circuit, ampacity tables for wire sizing, and the 3% voltage-drop recommendation for long runs. If the honest answer is “tight,” it says tight.

Estimates are for planning only. They are not permit documents and not a substitute for a licensed electrician. When you are ready to install, PermitEV generates the full permit-ready plan set for your jurisdiction.

Answer says your panel works? The next step is the permit.
