Save Time & Money with a Home EV Charging Station 

Buying an electric vehicle offers freedom from ever-increasing gas prices, and many EV owners want to do their part for the environment. Whatever your reason for making the switch to an electric vehicle, you will need a plan for keeping your vehicle charged. Installing a home EV charger offers several benefits. 

Home EV chargers offer benefits that include: 

• Convenience: Life is busy with work, family, and other responsibilities. When you have a home EV charging station, your car can be charging while you are attending to the many other things that you need and want to do. 
• Cost effective: Charging your vehicle at home is less expensive than relying on public charging stations to keep your car charged. Over time, this can save a lot of money. 
• Saving time: Searching for a public charging station and then driving there, waiting for your vehicle to charge, and driving back home can waste a lot of time. When you have an EV charger at home, you will save time and effort. 
• Battery life: The fast chargers at public charging stations are great when you need a quick charge on the road. However, using these chargers all the time isn’t great for your battery life. Charging your car at home allows for optimal charging, which is better for your vehicle.
• Home value: As electric vehicles continue to become more popular, home buyers will want houses that already have a charging station. Installing an EV charger can help your home sell faster and for a better price, when the time comes. 

Of course, you could use the charger that came with your vehicle that plugs into a standard outlet, but these chargers are extremely slow. Upgrading to a Level 2 charging station is the fastest and most convenient way to keep your car charged and ready to go. There are also Level 3 chargers, which are used for commercial chargers and public charging stations. 

Installing EV Chargers 

Your EV charging station should be installed by a qualified electrician. Unlike the charger that came with your car, a Level 2 charging station requires a dedicated 240v circuit. If you do not have one available, your electrician can install a dedicated circuit and run the wiring for your charging station. In addition, if your electrical panel is outdated and not able to support an expansion, an upgrade may be needed. Your electrician can inform you of the work that may be required for your property.
