Is ChargeRight Legitimate? What It Is, What It Does, and What It Doesn't
If you found this page by searching whether ChargeRight is legitimate, or whether it's a scam, this is the plain answer: what the report contains, who built it, what it explicitly does not do, and the refund terms if it doesn't work out for you. No marketing language, no invented statistics — just what's true, with links to the underlying pages so you can check it yourself.
Is ChargeRight legitimate?
ChargeRight is a small product, built and run by one licensed Master Electrician, that runs a deterministic NEC Article 220 load calculation on your electrical panel for $12.99 and tells you whether it can support an EV charger. It is not an installation service, not a permit, and not a final electrical design — and every purchase is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
The sections below lay out exactly what the report contains, the exact credentials published on the About page, what the tool is not, and the guarantee terms — each linked back to the page it's copied from, so nothing here is a new claim you can't independently verify.

What the $12.99 report contains
The verdict comes from a deterministic NEC Article 220 load calculation, not a guess. For the common case — an existing home adding an EV charger — the report binds NEC 220.83(A). If new heating or A/C is being added alongside the charger, it binds NEC 220.83(B). NEC 220.82 binds only when you explicitly answer that this is new construction or a planned full service change; it is not used by default. Your report names the exact section that produced your verdict, and the math behind it, so nothing is a black box.
The report includes:
- The verdict — whether your panel supports the charger as-is, against the NEC 230.79 service-rating test.
- The full NEC Article 220 math behind that verdict, with the binding section named.
- A circuit map / recommended circuit sizing for the charger.
- Hazard flags surfaced by the questionnaire and, if you upload photos, by the panel-photo analysis.
- A one-page electrician checklist — the handoff document for whoever does the install.
For a section-by-section walkthrough of each of those parts — including what each one cannot tell you — see what's actually in an EV load calculation report.
The pass/fail test is the service rating itself (NEC 230.79): if the calculated load is at or under the panel's rating, it passes. 80% of the rating is an advisory comfort line, not a pass/fail rule — between 80% and 100% the panel still passes, but it's worth confirming with an electrician before the install.
Every one of those claims — the method, the math, and the pass/fail rule — is explained step by step, with a worked numeric example, in the NEC 220.83 walkthrough, and the exact rule for which section binds your report is published on the methodology page.
Who built it
Jason Walls. The credentials below are copied exactly from the About page — nothing added, nothing upgraded:
- Master Electrician
- KY Electrical License EE642643
- EVITP Certified
- NEC Article 220 method
- No upsell, ever
ChargeRight is a small product built by one electrician — not a large company, and this page does not pretend otherwise.
What ChargeRight is not
Copied from the limitations page and the About page. ChargeRight is not:
- a permit or a final electrical design
- an installation service — it does not bid or schedule work
- a referral kickback — electricians do not pay to be listed
- a sales funnel for any charger brand or contractor
It is a pre-assessment: a well-informed starting point, not the final word. A licensed electrician must verify your panel in person, do the install, and pull any required permit. If you upload panel photos, they are read by Google Gemini, an AI vision model, working from a human-vetted prompt — AI is pattern matching, not a professional inspection, and it can misread a label or miss what a trained eye would catch. The load calculation itself is deterministic math, not AI. Either way, always confirm the verdict with a licensed electrician before any work.
The 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
Every ChargeRight purchase is covered by a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. To get a refund, email [email protected] within 30 days of purchase. Include your report link, or if you lost it, the Stripe receipt email from your purchase. Either one works. You get a full refund to your original payment method within 10 business days — no reason required.
Full terms, including how the guarantee applies to packs and Monthly Pro, are on the terms of service page.
An honest trust section
ChargeRight is a small product built by one electrician, not a large company with a support team or a marketing department. That is worth stating plainly rather than dressing up.
Independent third-party review coverage is currently limited. ChargeRight does not have a meaningful public review count on Trustpilot, Google, or similar third-party sites yet, and this page will not claim one it does not have.
What you can verify yourself, directly, without taking anyone's word for it: the methodology page shows exactly which NEC section binds a given report and why, and the limitations page states the scope — what the tool does and does not cover — in the same plain terms as this page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the ChargeRight report actually contain?
A ChargeRight report is a deterministic NEC Article 220 load calculation, not a guess. For the common case — an existing home adding an EV charger — it binds NEC 220.83(A); if new heating or A/C is being added alongside the charger, it binds NEC 220.83(B); NEC 220.82 binds only when you explicitly answer that this is new construction or a planned full service change. The report names the exact section that produced your verdict and shows the math behind it, along with a recommended circuit size and a one-page handoff for your electrician.
