Does Your New Westminster Home Need a Panel Upgrade?
A standard Level 2 EV charger draws 32–48 amps continuously. Many New Westminster homes — especially those built before the 1990s — were wired with 100-amp service, which leaves little room for a dedicated EV circuit once you account for your range, dryer, and air conditioning.
We assess your existing panel and recommend the right fix: a full 200-amp service upgrade, or an Electric Vehicle Energy Management System (EVEMS) that lets you charge at full speed without touching your service size.
200-Amp Panel Upgrade Cost in New Westminster
