Electric vehicles are surging in popularity. Over 2 million are currently on the streets in the U.S., with nearly 900,000 registered in California alone. As EV sales continue to surge, EV charging stations are also rising nationwide. Despite more charging stations popping up throughout the U.S., the benefits of a home charging station make it a wise investment. Here are the benefits of a home EV charger.
Convenience
With a home charging station, you can "refuel" your EV at your leisure, eliminating the need to locate and wait at public charging stations. It's as simple as plugging in your vehicle when you get home and waking up to a fully charged car ready for the day's journey.
Cost-Effective
Charging your EV at home can be significantly cheaper than fueling a conventional car or using public charging stations. Many utility companies offer off-peak or EV-specific rates, providing further potential savings.
Increased Charging Speed
Home charging stations, particularly Level 2 chargers, deliver power faster than standard wall outlets, reducing your vehicle's charging time and maximizing its availability for use. Each engine has different capabilities that are important to follow to maintain the life of an electric engine. Having the correct specifications for an EV charger can give you control over your car’s charging speed and lifetime.
Enhanced Property Value
Installing a home charging station can increase your property value. As more people switch to EVs, a ready-to-use charging station becomes an attractive option for potential homebuyers.
Environmentally Friendly
By driving an EV and charging it at home, you can reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner, healthier environment.
Safety
Home charging stations are designed with numerous safety features, including protection against overcharging, overheating, and electrical faults, ensuring safe charging at all times.
