Why Install a Home EV Charger?
- Convenience & Time Savings - Charge your electric vehicle overnight in your own garage or driveway, starting each day with a full battery. No more waiting in lines at public charging stations or planning trips around charging availability.
- Cost Efficiency - Home charging typically costs 50-70% less than public charging stations. With residential electricity rates, you can achieve the equivalent of $1-2 per gallon gasoline costs.
- Increased Property Value - EV charging capabilities add measurable value to your property and appeal to future buyers as electric vehicle adoption continues growing.
- Faster Charging Speeds- Level 2 home chargers provide 20-60 miles of range per hour of charging, dramatically faster than standard 120V outlets.
Types of EV Chargers We Install
- Level 1 Charging Solutions - Standard 120V outlet charging for basic needs. While slower, Level 1 charging works well for plug-in hybrids or low-mileage drivers.
- Level 2 Home Chargers - 240V charging stations that provide optimal charging speeds for home use. Most popular option offering the best balance of speed, cost, and convenience.
- Commercial Charging Stations - High-capacity charging solutions for businesses, apartment complexes, and fleet applications. Attract customers, support employees, and demonstrate environmental commitment.
