How this ev charger amperage calculator works

Current is estimated from power divided by voltage and the selected power-factor/efficiency value.

How to use it

  1. Charging power. Enter the value in kW.
  2. Voltage. Enter the value in V.
  3. Power factor / efficiency. Enter the value in %.
  4. Request the result. Add your email, then select “Email & show my result.”

What to do with the number

Electrical circuit sizing and continuous-load requirements are governed by local electrical rules and equipment ratings, not this arithmetic alone. Use the charger installation manual and a qualified electrician for circuit sizing.

Planning estimate

Use this result as a starting point, not a guarantee. Product specifications, site conditions, manufacturer guidance, local codes, taxes, labor, tolerances, and rounding can change the real requirement or cost.
