Wadsworth Breakers for EV Charging

At Electric Vehicle Geek, we help homeowners, contractors, and EV tech enthusiasts build and upgrade EV charging circuits with confidence. Our Wadsworth breaker reviews focus on practical, field-tested options that meet modern EV charging demands—evaluated for thermal reliability, panel fit, and continuous-load performance to avoid the nuisance of EV charging circuit breaker tripping. Each listing includes guidance on amperage sizing, single- and double-pole configurations, wiring diagrams, and EV charger compatibility.

Why Wadsworth Breakers Still Matter for EV Charging

Wadsworth panels were installed in thousands of homes across the U.S. in the mid-to-late 20th century. While original Wadsworth breakers are no longer manufactured, UL-listed replacement breakers make it possible to safely extend the life of these panels—especially when adding a dedicated EV charger circuit. In many retrofit cases, using a compatible Wadsworth breaker is the most efficient way to meet NEC load requirements without a full-service panel upgrade.
