ITE Breakers for EV Charging
At Electric Vehicle Geek, we help homeowners, EV installers, and electricians install and upgrade circuits for Level 1 and Level 2 EV chargers. Our ITE breaker reviews focus on load performance, breaker compatibility, thermal behavior, and trip reliability under continuous charging loads. Each listing includes breaker specs, amperage ratings, wiring diagrams, single- and double-pole configurations, wire sizing guidance, and EVSE compatibility – helping to prevent nuisance tripping and ensure safe, stable charging.
Why ITE Breakers Still Matter for EV Charging
ITE panels, originally manufactured by Gould and later acquired by Siemens, are still installed in many older homes across the U.S. Although original ITE breakers are no longer in production, certified Siemens QP and other UL-classified breakers are approved for use in ITE panels. These replacement breakers offer a safe and cost-effective way to add EV charging capacity without needing a full panel replacement.
Why Trust Us
Our ITE breaker recommendations are based on:
Firsthand EV charger installation experience with legacy ITE panels
Field testing of Siemens UL-classified ITE-compatible breakers
NEC and UL standards for continuous load handling
Insight from licensed electricians and EVSE professionals
