# ChargeRight

> ChargeRight is a $12.99 online EV-charger panel assessment built by a Master Electrician. It runs the NEC Article 220 optional load calculations on a home's existing electrical panel and tells the homeowner, plainly, whether the panel has room for the EV charger their car needs, or whether an upgrade is genuinely justified. No service call, no upsell.

Built and operated by Jason Walls, a Master Electrician (EVITP certified). The assessment is an online tool, available to homeowners across the United States. Jason knows the Louisville, Kentucky metro and Southern Indiana (Jeffersonville, New Albany, Clarksville) firsthand, including the local code climate and what charger installs actually run there. ChargeRight is the assessment itself, not a contracting or installation service.

## What it does
- Runs the NEC Article 220 Part IV optional load calculation, the same math a licensed electrician runs on a service call
- Uses panel photos and a short questionnaire to assess the capacity a home already has
- Reports honestly whether a panel upgrade is needed: it says so plainly when it is, and just as plainly when it is not
- Costs $12.99, versus a typical $300 service call for the same answer
- Same report on both channels: $12.99 on the website (evchargeright.com); $16.99 as an iOS App Store in-app purchase, because Apple's platform fee is built into the App Store price. The website is the cheaper way to buy it.

## Key facts
- Method: the NEC Article 220 Part IV optional calculations for dwelling units. Which section governs depends on the home: 220.83(A) for an existing dwelling adding a charger with no new HVAC (the common case), 220.83(B) when air-conditioning or electric space heating is also being added, and 220.82 when the homeowner is planning a new service. All five methods are computed and shown as cross-checks; the report names the one that actually governs rather than assuming.
- Scope: residential EV charger load assessment and electrical panel capacity analysis
- What it is not: a permit, a final electrical design, an installation service, or a referral kickback scheme
- Local focus: Louisville KY, Jeffersonville IN, New Albany IN, Clarksville IN
- Online tool availability: United States

- Per-vehicle home-charging specs, 166 EVs: https://evchargeright.com/cars — each vehicle has its
  own page at /cars/<make-model-variant> covering onboard AC charger draw, charge time at common
  Level 2 amperages, range added per hour, DC fast-charging ceiling, and connector type.
- Per-state NEC adoption, all 50 states: https://evchargeright.com/locations — each state has its
  own page at /locations/<state> naming the NEC edition in force for residential work, whether it
  is adopted statewide or left to local jurisdictions, and the source. Advisory only: a local
  Authority Having Jurisdiction can adopt a different edition or amendments, so the local
  permitting office is always the final word.
