Do the arithmetic
A code-method load calculation on every job, before any price is quoted.
Half our customers need less than they were told
Currentway does EV work and nothing else, which is why the assessment comes before the sales pitch.
Tomas Ilnicki was a service electrician when EVs started arriving in your city driveways. He watched quote after quote assume a service upgrade because nobody wanted to do the load calculation — a calculation that takes twenty minutes and often says the upgrade is unnecessary.
Currentway opened in 2019 doing EV installs only, with a paid assessment as the first step. The 52% figure on this page is the whole business model: we charge for the arithmetic so we can afford to tell people the truth about it.
Eleven hundred installs later, we still lose jobs to companies promising a cheaper install without an assessment. Those customers occasionally come back after the main breaker trips in February.

What we hold ourselves to
Charge for advice
A paid assessment can say 'you need nothing'. A free one rarely does.
Stay brand-neutral
No manufacturer deals. We install what suits your car and your panel.
Who does the work
Six licensed electricians who do this work every day, which is why the estimates hold.
Tomas Ilnicki
Founder
Nineteen years in the trade. Still reviews every load calculation that goes out.
Bea Nkemelu
Assessments
Runs the remote assessment process and the rebate paperwork.
Karl Sigurdsson
Install lead
Handles trenching, detached garages and every condo project we take on.
If the calculation is wrong, the upgrade is on us
If we tell you your service is adequate and your charger later trips the main under normal use, we do the load-management device or the upgrade at our cost. In seven years and 1,180 installs we have paid for that twice — and both times we told the customer before they noticed.
Reviews
What EV owners say
4.9 from 260 reviews · 1,180 chargers installed
“Two other companies quoted a $4,000 service upgrade based on the panel label. Currentway did the actual calculation, said our 100-amp service was fine, and installed the charger for $980.”
“Detached garage, ninety-foot trench, subpanel at the far end. They sized it for a future second car without being asked and the lawn was back to normal in three weeks.”
“Excellent work and a clear explanation of load management versus a full upgrade. Four stars because the install slipped a week waiting on the inspection booking.”
