Frequently Asked Questions
Residential EV Chargers
Having an electric vehicle (EV) charger at home presents a host of benefits, pivotal for the modern EV owner and marking a significant leap towards sustainable living. Primarily, it offers unparalleled convenience. Imagine beginning each day with a “full tank,” ready to embark on your daily journeys without the detour to public charging stations. This is the comfort home EV Chargers bring, allowing you to charge your EV overnight, leveraging lower electricity rates during off-peak hours in many areas, thus providing cost efficiency.
Furthermore, home EV Chargers typically deliver faster charging speeds compared to standard outlets. Most home chargers are Level 2 chargers, significantly reducing charging time from what could be a whole day to just a few hours, enhancing the overall EV experience by ensuring your vehicle is ready when you are. This efficiency not only saves time but also alleviates the anxiety related to battery range, making electric vehicle ownership more appealing and feasible for daily use.
In terms of economic benefits, while the initial setup cost of a home charging station may seem substantial, it pays off in the long run. Charging at home is generally cheaper than relying on public charging stations, especially if one optimizes charging times for off-peak electricity rates. Additionally, owning an EV and a home charging station may qualify you for various government incentives, rebates, and tax credits, further offsetting the initial expenses.
Environmentally, Residential EV Chargers with your home’s electricity, particularly if sourced from renewable energy, significantly reduces your carbon footprint compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. This transition to cleaner energy sources for transportation contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependency on fossil fuels, aligning with broader environmental sustainability goals.
In essence, installing an electric vehicle charger at home encapsulates convenience, efficiency, economic savings, and environmental stewardship, making it an essential component of modern, eco-conscious living.
Of course you can install an EV Charging system without solar, and we would be happy to be your EV charging installers for your home or business.
The number of charging stations depends on the number of vehicles you can expect to service and the amount of solar energy you can expect to devote to the charging stations. A household will typically install 1 station while a business will typically install a minimum of 2 stations for client and employee use. However, depending on your business needs, it is not uncommon to install more than 2, and in some cases businesses with fleets will install 10+ stations.
We offer industry-best warranties because we have faith in the EV chargers we use.
While the location of a charging station will differ from place to place, households typically install them in their garages and businesses typically install them in their parking lots.
