Need an EV charger load study?

Check bills, meter data, and panel photos against the charger plan — before you buy gear or commit to a service upgrade.

Plain answer

Can this service take the chargers without an upgrade?

Ampscale turns the bills, utility data, and panel photos you already have into a conservative headroom range, shows whether managed charging avoids an upgrade, and lists the exact proof an electrician, PE, utility, or permit reviewer will ask for — an NEC-220.87-style load basis you can hand over.

Start with what you have.

Each added proof point tightens the range and makes the package easier to review.

Utility bills or interval data

Find the real peak and the months that set it.

Panel and meter photos

Confirm service size, breaker rating, voltage, and phase.

Charger plan

Compare uncontrolled charging with a managed cap and failure behavior.

Decision paths

Know the next move before money is stuck.

Path 1

Add chargers now

Enough practical headroom appears available with conservative margin.

Path 2

Add with a managed cap

EMS / PCS holds the ceiling — the package needs the cap, sequence of operations, and logs.

Path 3

Utility review likely

Customer-side headroom is not the same as transformer or feeder capacity.
