Lake Geneva Electric Vehicle Charging
When it comes to charging infrastructure, EVs face a classic chicken-or-egg conundrum. Municipalities and private property owners are reluctant to invest in installing chargers until electric vehicles become more prevalent. Meanwhile, potential EV owners may hesitate to purchase a new EV until public charging infrastructure becomes more widespread. You can overcome this by having an EV charging station in your home.
Home EV chargers use Level 2 fast charging technology. They can fully charge the average EV battery in approximately eight hours. As a result, a home charger means starting each day with a fully charged battery. It also means far lower charging costs relative to using public chargers. Charging your EV at home lets you charge while paying residential electricity rates. That can translate into cost savings of up to 70%. If you purchase a charger with scheduling functionality, you can even take advantage of time-of-use electricity rates. That can help you lower your charging costs even more!
Installing an EV charging station in your home comes with many benefits.
- Convenience
- Safer charging
- Increased property value
- Reduces EV battery wear
You should know that your home may need some electrical modifications to support electric vehicle charging. Most EV charging stations require a dedicated 240-volt circuit supplying between 20 and 80 amps. If your home’s electrical panel lacks sufficient capacity for a new circuit, it may need replacement. Additionally, it’s possible that your home will require an electrical service upgrade to accommodate an EV charging station. Our electricians can handle all the necessary work to make your installation proceed smoothly.
