Home electrical vehicle (EV) charging stations are growing in demand by people who own plug-in cars. They offer convenience and many other benefits in comparison to public charging stations. A professionally installed charging station provides much faster charging than a standard home outlet. Home chargers come in two main levels. A Level 1 charger is a standard 120-volt outlet, whereas a Level 2 charger is a 240-volt solution for fast charging.
EV charging stations are very simple to use. You can plug it in and charge it overnight or during other home activities. An EV charging station differs from a regular outlet in several ways. It has a special cable and plug for your vehicle’s charging port for maximum safety, efficiency, and a secure connection. Charging stations offer much faster charging, providing up to 30 miles of range for each hour it’s plugged in.
Home charging stations offer EV owners many other benefits. The ability to charge overnight or when you’re home frees up time in your schedule. You’ll also save time and money that you would otherwise spend driving to local public charging stations. Your car is safer when parked at home rather than leaving it at a public charger. Home chargers offer economic benefits as well. At home, you only pay the cost of electricity rather than the marked-up price for public charging.
We offer several home charger options that you can choose from that vary in speed and electrical requirements. If necessary, we can upgrade your electrical panel and wiring to match the requirements of more powerful chargers. We’ll also help you choose the most convenient and safe place to install the charging station on your property.
