The Benefits of Home EV Charging
With Florida's abundant sunshine and growing renewable energy infrastructure, home charging allows you to take advantage of lower electricity rates and potential solar power integration in the future. The financial benefits alone make home EV charging an attractive investment, especially when you consider the rising costs of gasoline and the time saved by not having to make frequent stops at public charging stations.
Our EV charging services can offer you:
- Overnight charging convenience. A personal charger allows you to start each day with a fully charged battery, eliminating range anxiety and the need to plan your schedule around charging stops during your busy day.
- Significant cost savings. Home charging costs are typically 50-70% lower than commercial charging rates, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars annually.
- Faster charging speeds. Level 2 home chargers can fully charge most EVs in 4-8 hours, compared to 20+ hours with standard wall outlets, making daily use more practical.
- Increased home value. A dedicated charging station can boost your property's market appeal and resale value in the growing electric vehicle market.
- Weather protection. Florida's frequent afternoon thunderstorms and intense sun can harm your EV, and a home charger allows you to charge your vehicle safely in your garage or covered area without exposure to the elements.
- Customizable charging schedules. We can help you take advantage of off-peak electricity rates, potentially reducing your charging costs even further while supporting grid stability.
- Enhanced security. A personal charging station allows you to avoid public charging stations in unfamiliar areas, particularly during late-night hours, while maintaining the privacy of your daily travel patterns.
With charging support from Stott Brothers Electric, you won’t have to worry about finding an available charging station during busy travel periods or dealing with the uncertainty of public charging network reliability.

They were so helpful on guiding us through the processes of getting our permits that we needed and had no clue where to start at getting them. When they finished the job. The inspector came and said it was some of the best work he had ever seen.

Choosing the Perfect EV Charger for Your Home
Selecting the right EV charger for your home involves understanding both your vehicle's capabilities and your household's electrical infrastructure. Not all electric vehicles charge at the same rate, and your home's electrical panel capacity plays a crucial role in determining which charging solution will work best for your situation.
The two main types of home EV chargers are Level 1 (120V) and Level 2 (240V), with Level 2 chargers being the preferred choice for most homeowners due to their faster charging speeds and greater convenience for daily use. Your daily driving habits, vehicle type, and electrical panel capacity all factor into the decision-making process. If you have a short daily commute and primarily use your EV for local errands around Port St. Lucie, a lower-capacity charger might meet your needs perfectly. However, if you frequently travel to Orlando, Miami, or other distant destinations or have multiple EVs in your household, you'll want to consider a higher-capacity charging solution that can handle increased demand.
You should also consider the charging speed your vehicle can accept, as installing a charger that exceeds your car's capabilities won't provide additional benefits. Most modern EVs can handle 32-amp charging, which translates to roughly 25-30 miles of range per hour of charging. However, some newer vehicles can accept 40-amp or even 48-amp charging, significantly reducing the time needed to reach full battery capacity. Additionally, think about future-proofing your installation—if you plan to upgrade to a different EV in the coming years, installing a more capable charger now might save you from needing electrical upgrades later.
Smart charging features have become increasingly popular and can provide additional value through smartphone connectivity, scheduling capabilities, and energy monitoring. These features allow you to track your charging costs, set charging schedules to take advantage of lower electricity rates, and even integrate with home energy management systems. Some smart chargers can also provide valuable data about your charging patterns and help you optimize your energy usage for maximum efficiency and cost savings.
