Why Get a Home Charging Station?
Most electric vehicles take between 20 and 40 minutes to charge at a public station, which can become quite the hassle on a regular basis. Not only will a home EV charger make it easy and convenient for you to keep your battery full, but it could also save you money through tax incentives and reduced charging fees. Since charging stations are also becoming more popular and desirable, this feature could also increase your property value, making it a particularly worthwhile investment for those who plan to sell their homes in the near future.
If you want to make everyday life just a little easier while keeping your wallet happy, then a home charging station is a great solution.
How to Choose the Right EV Charger
It can be challenging to choose the right EV charging station, especially if you aren’t sure what to look for when comparing all of the different choices on the market. However, there are a couple of factors that you should keep in mind to pick the right option for your home and vehicle:
- Level of charging: Most homes either use a Level 1 or a Level 2 charging system. Level 1 stations use a standard 110V outlet and tend to charge slightly slower, while Level 2 options operate on a 240V outlet and work a little faster. While both options are great, the best fit for your space will largely depend on your home’s voltage capabilities.
- Connection type: Different vehicles have different charging connectors, so it’s important to choose a station that is compatible with your vehicle. If you aren’t sure how to determine which connection type you need, don’t worry! Our experts are happy to find the right option for your car.
- Cost: Budget is an important factor for any project. In addition to the initial installation costs, be sure to consider the energy usage of your vehicle to anticipate long-term costs associated with your charging station.
