Assumptions & project notes

  • Material allowance: 10%. Package sizes and coverage rates are editable in the inputs.
  • Equipment and pipe/conductor sizes must be confirmed from the design and manufacturer data. This estimate does not certify hydraulic performance, electrical capacity or code compliance.
  • The 125% figure is an allowance, not a selected breaker rating. Different conductor sizes may be needed for hots, neutral and ground; the budget uses a blended sample unit price.
  • Check final dimensions, product specifications and any required local approvals before ordering.

Tools & preparation

  • Tape measure, straightedge and level
  • Marking and layout tools
  • Suitable cutting and fastening tools
  • Product-specific preparation and finishing tools

A preparation list; confirm installation tools with your selected products.

How to use the ev charger planner

Start with charger continuous output, supply voltage, length, connection. The result includes charging power, 125% continuous-load allowance, resistive single-phase voltage drop. Open advanced options to match your product sizes, material allowance and labor expectations.

1. Measure and specify

Measure each room or surface and identify openings, edges, fixtures and transitions.

2. Adjust the estimate

Check package coverage, material orientation, pattern alignment and substrate requirements.

3. Prepare your order

Review full-piece cuts and matching accessories; order from consistent product batches where needed.

4. Plan the work

Prepare the surface and follow the product installation and finishing sequence, including drying or curing periods.

Frequently asked questions

What does the ev charger planner estimate?+

Charging power, continuous-load allowance and conductor / conduit quantities. The shopping list includes ev charging unit, conductors (sizes per design), conduit (10 ft), specified protective device, connection / mounting kit.

Which assumptions should I check?+

Equipment and pipe/conductor sizes must be confirmed from the design and manufacturer data. This estimate does not certify hydraulic performance, electrical capacity or code compliance. The 125% figure is an allowance, not a selected breaker rating. Different conductor sizes may be needed for hots, neutral and ground; the budget uses a blended sample unit price.

Are the prices current supplier quotes?+

No. Initial unit prices are illustrative USD budgeting inputs. Enter a price beside each material to use your own quote. The total includes materials only; labor, shipping, taxes, permits and rental are excluded.

Can I save or share my project?+

Save stores the inputs and prices on this browser. Share link includes the configuration in the address so another device can reopen it. Download CSV exports the shopping list, and Print / PDF opens your browser’s print dialog.
