breezEV EC PARTNER RESOURCE GUIDE
- Check Ohm’s Law and NEC Code for Gauge and Distance of Wires: Ensure that the wires used for the installation are of the correct gauge and length to comply with Ohm’s Law and NEC Code.
- Check Electrical Panel and Use Dedicated Breaker with 20% Headroom: EVSE requires +20% Continuous Load circuit. Check capacity to handle a dedicated breaker with 20% headroom. For 48A use 60A breaker, for 40A use 50A breaker, for 32A use 40A breaker, and for 24A use 30A breaker.
- Site Walk Using Cell Signal Meter to Ensure Proper Connectivity: Use a 4G cell signal meter to perform a site walk before installation to ensure proper connectivity, such as the WilsonPRO Signal Meter. See our video here:
Additional items that electricians should consider when installing EV Chargers: Assess the Electrical Load of the Home: Assess the electrical load of the home to ensure that it can handle the additional load of the EV charger. Discuss with your electrician if upgrades are needed to your electrical panel. Ensure Proper Grounding: Ensure proper grounding of the EV charger to prevent electrical hazards.

Confirm CP Wire is Seated Properly & Strain Relief Utilized: Confirm that the CP wire is seated properly See pdf HERE and that the internal strain relief is installed properly for incoming cables.
Please Follow the instructions in each box to register chargers before installation day and then validate chargers day of installation.
