Benefits of Home EV Charging
Installing a home electric vehicle charging station can provide serious time and cost savings. Unlike public chargers, a home station allows you to charge overnight, ensuring your vehicle is ready to go each morning without the hassle of searching for a charger.This convenience saves time and provides peace of mind, especially during busy days or inclement weather. Plus, many home chargers offer smart features, enabling you to monitor energy usage and schedule charging during off-peak hours for cost savings.
Additionally, public EV chargers often come with fees. These fees can vary by location, time and provider. These added costs drive up the cost of EV ownership.
If you intend to own an electric vehicle long-term, a home charging station is a good investment.

Homes charging stations use AC power. This limits home charging to level 1 and level 2. Many home installations use a 240 outlet, which provides level 2 charging. This is 6-8 times faster than level 1.
While a level 3 EV charger can add as much as 250 miles of range in less than an hour, the high voltage requirements mean they are only suitable for commercial installations. Because you can charge your vehicle at your convenience, Level 1 or 2 is adequate for most drivers.
