Ask HN: AI evaluation for an EV charger without additional installation?

[chrisgd]

This is trending on Twitter right now as an electrician built a side hustle with Claude. Take a picture of your fuse box and potentially save yourself from having to put in a new one when installing a 240 amp outlet for your EV.

Curious if this is possible. If an electrician said I needed a new panel, not sure I would trust this solution instead.

https://connectder.com/ avoids needing a new panel or line side tap if your authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) allows meter socket adapters. No affiliation, have one on hand as a demo unit to show people. Any electrician is going to verify your panel from a load calculation perspective in person for free as part of a free estimate.

If there are any incentives available, recommend load center upgrades when funds permit for future proofing and capturing incentives while they're available to offset personal cost outlay.
