Types of EV Chargers
Before you decide to install an EV charger, it is beneficial to understand the different types available. The most common are level 1, level 2, and DC fast chargers. Each has its benefits and considerations, which we can discuss in detail during an initial consultation.
Here is a brief overview of these charger types:
- Level 1 chargers: These use a standard household outlet (120 volts) and will take longer to charge your vehicle compared to other options (about five miles of range per hour). They are best suited for overnight charging or when you have several hours to spare.
- Level 2 chargers: These chargers require a higher voltage (240 volts) and can power your EV much faster than Level 1 chargers, at 25 miles of range per hour. They are ideal for daily at-home charging.
- DC fast chargers: As the name suggests, these chargers offer the fastest charging times. They use a high-powered direct current (DC) and are generally found at public charging stations. Installing these in residential settings is largely infeasible because of the cost and power infrastructure required.
Benefits of Installing an EV Charger
Benefits abound when you install a charger at your home. Some of these include:
- Convenience: This is first on our list, of course! Having a designated charger at your home means you do not have to depend on public charging stations or worry about finding one in an emergency.
- Cost savings: Charging your EV at home using a Level 2 charger is typically cheaper than using public chargers. Additionally, installing solar panels or other renewable energy sources can further increase your savings.
- Environmental impact: Owning an EV already reduces your carbon footprint, but using renewable energy to charge it at home makes it even more eco-friendly.
- Increased property value: Installing an EV charger can add value to your home, especially as more and more buyers are looking for sustainable features.
