ChargeRight app $12.99 load calculator

Jason Walls used X on May 16 to promote ChargeRight, a load-calculation app he said is built for electricians and contractors working on EV charger jobs. In the post, Walls cited NEC 220.82 and said the tool can be used on site. Other ChargeRight web pages and videos reviewed on May 17 describe the product as a panel-capacity assessment tool tied to EV charger installs and priced at $12.99. Walls describes himself in public posts as an IBEW master electrician with Local 369 in Kentucky. In a longer X thread surfaced in search results, he said ChargeRight automates NEC 220.82 calculations, generates PDF reports and uses Stripe for payments. He also said the product was built after he saw homeowners being told they needed panel upgrades for EV chargers. ### What exactly did Jason Walls promote on May 16? (t.co) May 16 is the key date in this story because that is when Walls said on X that ChargeRight was available for electricians and contractors doing EV charger work. The post referenced NEC 220.82 and framed the app as a field tool for load estimates during install decisions. ChargeRight’s own marketing pages reviewed in search results describe the service as an EV panel assessment that runs NEC 220.82 calculations and returns a report on whether a home panel can support a charger. (t.co) One page says the process includes a calculator, a panel photo and a report, while a YouTube description says the service provides a “detailed, data-driven report” for sharing with contractors. ### What is NEC 220.82, and why does it show up in the pitch? (t.co) NFPA says the National Electrical Code is the U.S. benchmark for electrical design, installation and inspection, and that the current edition is the 2026 NEC. That makes NEC references central to any product pitched as a code-based electrical sizing tool. NEC 220.82 is widely described in trade and training materials as the optional method for residential load calculations. (t.co) An ExpertCE article says the method applies to single-family dwellings and uses demand factors for general loads, while ChargeRight’s own video descriptions say the tool uses that method to determine whether a panel can handle a Level 2 charger. (nfpa.org) ### What does the $12.99 price point refer to? ChargeRight pages indexed in search results say $12.99 buys a full NEC 220.82 panel assessment with AI analysis and a PDF report. Those same pages compare that price with a $150-to-$300 electrician service call and with larger installation quotes. Walls used similar pricing language in the X thread, where he said ChargeRight delivers automated NEC 220.82 calculations and PDF reports for $12.99 instead of a higher-cost truck roll. (expertce.com) That price claim appears in both his social promotion and in ChargeRight marketing material. ### Who is the app aimed at — homeowners or electricians? Walls’ May 16 promotion described the app as a tool for electricians and contractors. (t.co) That framing puts the latest push on the professional side of the market, even though earlier ChargeRight materials also pitched the service directly to homeowners considering EV charging at home. March YouTube posts from the ChargeRight account said the service offered “FREE” assessments for homeowners, while the indexed ChargeRight pricing page now describes a $12.99 assessment. (t.co) Based on those materials, the company appears to be using both homeowner-facing and trade-facing messages, though the May 16 post emphasized jobsite use by electrical professionals. ### What claims around panel upgrades is ChargeRight making? (t.co) ChargeRight videos published in March said many homeowners are told they need $3,000-to-$5,000 panel upgrades before installing an EV charger and argued that NEC 220.82 calculations often show otherwise. One video description said 70% of homeowners already have enough capacity, and Walls repeated that figure in his X thread. (youtube.com) Walls attributes that argument to load-calculation math rather than breaker-counting or rough estimates. His public posts say the app was built to automate the same calculation he says electricians should already be using under NEC 220.82. ### Where can readers verify the latest details? May 17 is the next concrete checkpoint because ChargeRight’s indexed web pages, YouTube account and Walls’ X posts were all still surfacing current descriptions of the service then. (youtube.com) The most specific public details now available are the $12.99 price, the NEC 220.82 framing and Walls’ identification of electricians and contractors as the intended users in his latest promotion.
