Can the Schneider Charge help me avoid a panel upgrade?

In many cases, yes. The Schneider Charge uses SmartAmp load management, which monitors your home’s electrical use in real time using current transformers wired to your panel. When other appliances are drawing power, SmartAmp dials back the charging speed to keep your total usage within safe limits.

When demand drops, it speeds back up. This means many homeowners can install a full-speed Level 2 charger without the added cost of upgrading their electrical panel.
