I reached out to ConnectDER for help finding an electrician near me who could install an at-home charger using the EV MSA. I have 100-amp service and I definitely did not want to pay for a full upgrade. Their preferred installer got my charger setup in just a few hours! The EV MSA is a game changer.

FAQs

EV MSA: Homeowner Frequently Asked Questions

The EV MSA combines multiple critical functionalities into one universally compatible device that makes it easier for electricians, and more affordable for homeowners, to hardwire an EV charger into the home, specifically for homes with 100A or 125A service. Components like a built-in circuit breaker, smart load sensing, automatic disconnect, and consumption monitoring minimize the amount of work an electrician must do, and in turn minimize the cost to homeowners. By taking the installation away from the main panel and to the existing utility meter on the exterior of your house, the EV MSA provides a plug-and-play connection point for the EV charger without an expensive main panel replacement or service upgrade. It also keeps the install outside your home, by avoiding the need to cut through drywall or ceiling to get to your main panel (more surprise costs!)
