EV Charger Installation: Important Factors to Consider When Purchasing a Home Charger
Charging your EV at home is convenient and can help make your overall EV ownership and driving experience an exceptional one. Before installing an EV charger at home, below are some of the important factors you need to keep in mind:
- Charger Compatibility. Generally, level 2 home chargers can cost between $200 and $800, depending on the model. To determine which model charger is best for your vehicle, you must first identify the model charger that your vehicle is compatible with. You must also know the connection type the vehicle's charging port accepts.
- Maximum Charging Rate. Most new BEVs charge at 7kW+ of power but older electric vehicles can charge at 3.3kW. If you purchase a charger that supplies more power than your vehicle's charging rate, you can end up wasting money unless you intend to purchase a new EV soon and would like the installation to be future-proof.
If you want to save money, you can opt for a charger with a lower power rating than your EV. However, since charging is slower, it might not be able to keep up with your driving demands. Nowadays, some chargers can automatically detect the charging port's maximum power and lower the charge power accordingly. - Installation Process. Installation is generally straightforward. Our dependable electricians will run a wire from the sub-panel circuit to the mounted box that contains the charging circuitry. As with any job that involves electricity, this is a job that is best left in the hands of our licensed, dependable, and experienced professionals.
Top Benefits of Having an EV Home Charger
As the electric vehicle industry continues to grow significantly, more and more charging stations are being constructed in several key locations. However, the best way to charge your EV is still at home. If you own an EV, having an EV charger at home is considered one of the best investments you can make. It also allows you to enjoy the following benefits:
- Convenience. Over 80% of EV drivers charge their vehicles at home, usually overnight. If you have a charging station at home, you can easily get in the habit of charging your EV at night, much like charging your mobile phone. Since you won't be using the car while sleeping, you can use the downtime to charge your EV, knowing it will be fully ready in the morning when you wake up. Also, having an EV charging station at home can save you time, so you won't have to travel to a public charging station and wait for hours for the EV to charge fully.
- Savings. If you have an EV charging station at home, you can use it overnight when electricity costs are lower. Also, keep in mind that level 3 fast-charging stations will charge premium rates. Level 3 charging costs are at least 25 to 40 percent higher than level 2.
- Predictability. With an EV charging station at home, you won't have to wait in line just to get your vehicle charged. You can plug in your EV at any time convenient and program it to charge while you sleep. Unlike gas prices, electricity rates won't often fluctuate, so the costs are more predictable.
