Why Install an EV Charger?
​
Installing an EV charger at your home or business can provide many benefits. Firstly, it's convenient - you can charge your car overnight at home or while you work at your business. This means you don't have to worry about finding a public charging station or waiting for other drivers to finish charging their vehicles.
In addition, installing an EV charger can help you save money on fuel costs. EVs are much cheaper to fuel than traditional gas-powered cars, and by charging at home, you can take advantage of off-peak electricity rates.
​
For businesses, offering EV charging can be a great way to attract customers who drive electric vehicles. It can also help improve your company's sustainability and environmental reputation.
Types of EV Chargers
​
There are several types of EV chargers available, including Level 1, Level 2, and DC fast chargers.
Level 1 chargers use a standard 120-volt outlet and can add around 5 miles of range per hour of charging. These chargers are the slowest option, but they're also the most affordable and don't require any special installation.
Level 2 chargers use a 240-volt outlet and can add around 25 miles of range per hour of charging. These chargers are faster than Level 1 chargers and are ideal for home and business use.
DC fast chargers are the fastest option, capable of adding up to 80% of battery capacity in just 30 minutes. These chargers are typically found at public charging stations and are ideal for longer trips.
