Why Crouse-Hinds Breakers Still Matter in EV Charging
Crouse-Hinds panels were widely installed in North America during the mid-to-late 20th century and are still found in many homes today. While original Crouse-Hinds breakers are no longer in production, safe, UL-listed replacement breakers and panel adapters make it possible to install EV chargers without a full panel replacement – when done correctly and inspected for safety. These modern replacements allow homeowners to future-proof their charging setup while working within the limits of their existing infrastructure.
