SimpleSwitch

SimpleSwitch SimpleSwitch is a power management device that allows the shared use of a single circuit breaker between two devices.

It works on 220VAC and is typically used for adding an EV charger to a panel that is full or would exceed its load calculations.

Across these examples, one thing becomes clear every home is different, and so are the costs involved in adding electrical capacity.

What may seem like a simple upgrade can involve infrastructure changes, distance challenges, or utility coordination, depending on the setup.
Looking at how existing power is used can often provide a more practical path than expanding the entire service.

This wraps up the single-family examples.
Next, we’ll look at multifamily buildings where the challenges, and solutions, become even more important.

At first glance, this setup looks straightforward but the details tell a different story.
With the electrical service at the house and parking located at a separate garage, adding an EV charger can quickly become a more complex and costly project.
Running new service from the street, through the house, and out to the garage isn’t always the most practical approach.

In cases like this, using existing electrical capacity more efficiently can simplify the installation while avoiding unnecessary upgrades.

What looks like a simple upgrade isn’t always simple.

In this case, increasing capacity from 125A to 200A involved more than just a panel change — including external disconnects, utility work, and infrastructure updates.

Costs can add up quickly depending on the setup, even for relatively small increases in capacity.

In situations like this, using the existing electrical service more efficiently can often be a more practical approach.

In some homes, adding more electrical capacity isn’t just a panel upgrade — it involves infrastructure changes.

With underground service, increasing capacity can mean long trench runs, equipment changes, and even transformer limitations. Costs can rise quickly depending on the setup.

In cases like this, managing the existing electrical load can be a more practical approach than expanding the entire service.

Every home has a different electrical setup — and that’s where most EV charger projects get complicated.

In many cases, the first solution people hear is a panel upgrade. But depending on the service and existing load, there may be other ways to make it work.

In this series, we’re walking through real homes, real electrical services, and where power management can make a difference.

Homes don’t usually run out of power, they run too many high-demand appliances at the same time.

Heating and cooling systems, dryers, and other major appliances can all draw significant power. When they operate together, total demand can approach the limits of your electrical system.

Understanding when and how electricity is used is just as important as how much is available.

simpleSwitch monitors electrical load in real time and helps keep usage within safe limits by managing connected appliances automatically.

A more practical way to use the power you already have.

In multifamily buildings, adding EV charging often comes down to one challenge: electrical capacity.

simpleSwitch makes it possible for each apartment to have its own EV charger while safely sharing power with that unit’s existing appliances. By monitoring electrical load in real time, it helps prevent overload and allows charging to resume automatically when capacity is available.

For HOAs and property managers, it’s a more practical way to expand EV access without major electrical upgrades.

Charging your EV at home is often as simple as installing a Level 2 charger and plugging in overnight. But higher charging speeds also mean higher electrical demand.

Before committing to a panel upgrade, it’s worth understanding how load management works. simpleSwitch monitors electrical demand in real time and helps your EV charger operate safely within your home’s existing capacity.

A smarter way to add EV charging - without unnecessary service changes.
