Benefits to Home EV Charger Installation
If you’re on the fence about whether or not to schedule EV charger installation in Wilmington, NC, here are some important benefits you should consider.
Convenience
Don’t worry about having to constantly reformat your driving routes to pass by a charging station and add time to your trip while it charges up. With a home charging station, you can charge your vehicle whenever it’s convenient for you right on your own property, so it’s always ready to go when you need it.
Improved Battery Health
Home chargers are generally better for the longevity of your car’s battery than the type of charger found at rapid charging stations. Those are okay to use once in a while, but it’s really recommended that you use a Level 1 or Level 2 charger as your regular mode of charging. We’ll explain more about those later on.
Increased Home Value
Along with the popularity of electric vehicles comes the popularity of homes that have EV chargers installed. If you’re looking to sell your home in the future or get it reappraised, investing in electric vehicle installation can sweeten the value of your home.
Easy Car Heating and Cooling
If you like to heat your car up or cool it down before you get into it, a home EV charger can let you do that without draining your battery at all.
Different EV Chargers
Technically there are three different types of chargers that you can use to charge your electric vehicle. They are named Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 for their increasing speed of charge and power needs. Read on to learn more about each type:
-
- Level 1: Your electric vehicle may have already come with this type of charger. It plugs right into the normal kind of outlet in your home (a 120 volt outlet), so you often don’t need special installation. If you do need a Level 1 outlet installed, we can handle that. It’s the slowest charger, by far, with charging taking up to 20 hours.
-
- Level 2: We highly recommend Level 2 chargers, since they are the fastest kind of charger that you can install in your home due to energy requirements. They can charge your car fully in four hours, but they do require an electrician to perform EV charger installation.
-
- Level 3: This type of charger cannot be installed in most homes or even businesses because it requires so much power to function. You will find Level 3 chargers at your local charging station. They are considered rapid chargers due to requiring as little as an hour to fully charge a vehicle.
