Types
Of EV Home Charging Stations
You can choose between 2 types of residential electric car chargers:
- Level 1: These chargers require a 120V circuit, which means they can be plugged into a regular three-pronged outlet (as long as it's grounded).
- Level 2: These chargers require a 240V circuit, which is similar to what the average clothes dryer uses.
Not sure which type of charger to go with? A level 2 charger has many benefits over a level 1, including:
- Faster charging: Level 2 chargers can charge your electric vehicle up to 7 times faster (depending on the brand) than a level 1 charger.
- More programming options: Some models come with features like meters and timers, which allow you to monitor usage and set charging to specific hours during the day (to utilize off-peak electricity rates).
- Built-in WiFi: Some level 2 chargers have built-in WiFi so you can control the charging station from your smartphone.

How to Choose
An EV Home Charging Station
You should consider several factors when choosing a home charging station for your electric car, including:
- Overall driving range: If you drive frequently or long distances every day, a higher-end level 2 EV charger might be a good option, so you can charge your vehicle quickly when you need to.
- Your daily routine and preferences: Do you want remote control options? If so, you might want to consider a model that has more programming and customization features.
- Availability of charging stations in your area: If you're in an area that doesn't have a lot of charging stations, a higher-quality level 2 charger that can charge quickly and efficiently might be a good option for you.
Benefits
Of Installing an EV Home Charging Station
Installing car home charging station will:
- Be more convenient. No more worrying about running out of charge. With a car home charging station, you can charge your car whenever you're home to make sure you always have a charge.
- Cost less than paying for a charge. Most commercial charging stations will charge you per hour to plug in your car. By installing an EV home charger, you'll only pay for the electricity you use. Plus, if you plan when you're going to charge your car, you can save money by charging your vehicle during off-peak hours that have lower rates.
