The Benefits of Having an EV Charger at Home
Having electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE; a fancy name for a charging station) at home offers a multitude of benefits, with increased convenience being one of the most significant. Gone are the days of stressing over finding a nearby charging station while on your daily commute or realizing you need a charge while already on the road. With a charger at home, you can effortlessly charge your car at home. Charging overnight while you sleep is a great way to make sure you have the energy you need to get where you need to go the following day.
In addition to the immediate cost savings, installing an EV charging station can also be a wise long-term investment. As the electric car market continues to expand, the value of having an in-home charging station may be appreciated by potential buyers. It’s not unthinkable that the cost of installation might be more than recouped by an increase in resale value.
Can My House Accommodate an EV Charger?
Are you considering installing an EV charger? There are three basic questions that you’ll need to answer to determine if this is a possibility for your home.
- You must own your property. If you don’t, you must have permission from the landlord (it never hurts to ask—some landlords may even pay for the installation to improve property value).
- You must be able to park a reasonable distance from your charging unit, often no more than 50 feet.
- Your property needs a 240-volt electrical connection (or the capacity on your panel to create one with two separate 120-volt circuits).
Depending on the type of charger you wish to install, you may need to select a specifically indoor or outdoor model, depending on where your charger will be located. If you are unsure where to place your charger, we recommend talking to a member of our team about your project.
Signs an EV Charger Needs Repair
If you already have a charging station at home, it’s important to be aware of the signs of damage. The sooner our technicians can be summoned, the better the chance there is of a cost-effective solution. The warning signs include:
- Physical damage: This can include visible cracks, dents, or loose connections on the charger unit.
- Insufficient power: This can manifest as slow charging rates or an inability to charge the vehicle fully.
- Power surges: These occur when there is a sudden and brief increase in electrical voltage. These surges can potentially damage the EV charger's internal components.
- Tripped breakers: If the circuit breaker associated with the charger frequently trips or shuts off, it indicates an overloaded system or a short circuit.
- Discoloration: Burns or black marks on the EV charger or surrounding electrical components are a serious indication of overheating.
- Unusual noises: While some minor noises may be normal, any significant or concerning sounds should be investigated by our trained professionals.
We Offer EV Charger Financing
Don’t let concerns over cost stop you from moving ahead with your in-home charging station. You can apply for financing through our office, and we have payment plans available.
