The Benefits of Having a Charger at Home

Having an electric vehicle charger on your property is much more cost-efficient, as you will pay less for at-home charging than using a public station. Plus, you do not have to enroll in subscription-based charging services. These things can offset installation costs over time. 

Additional benefits of having a charger at home include the following: 

• Convenient charging: With a home charging system, you can plug your EV in overnight, giving it a full battery by morning. It goes without saying that this is much more convenient than waiting for your car to charge at a public station. 
• Increased home value: Installing a charger at your home can increase its appeal to EV owners, potentially allowing you to get a higher asking price. 

EV Charger Levels

Before installing an EV charger, it is important to understand the available charger levels:

• Level 1: Provides a steady charge through a standard household outlet. This is typically the slowest option and may take up to 50 hours to charge a fully battery-powered EV (BEV) and up to 6 hours for a partially plug-in hybrid EV (PHEV).
• Level 2: Utilizes a 240-volt outlet, similar to those used for large appliances like clothes dryers. This level offers a faster charge than level 1 and can fully charge BEVs in 10 hours and PHEVs in 2 hours.  
• DC Fast Charging (Level 3): Provides the quickest charge but requires specialized equipment and power capacity that is atypical for residential properties. Most often, you will find DC chargers in commercial locations or at roadside stops. 

Generally, a level 2 charger is the best option in residential settings. There are, of course, numerous makes and models of level 2 chargers. The right one will depend on your EV and electrical system. To consult a professional about what charger would be ideal for your home, turn to MZ Electric.
