Home EV Charging Stations
While electric vehicles are energy efficient and environmentally friendly, they require some work to maintain. Before you leave the dealership with your new electric car, it is essential you purchase an EV charging station. While you can find charging stations at dealerships or gas stations, it is most ideal for an electric car owner to have one readily accessible at home.
If you need a charging station for your electric vehicle, GEM Electrical are your trusted professionals. There are two different levels available; Level 1 charging station has a 120-volt and takes about 6-8 hours to charge your plug-in hybrid car through a power outlet fully. Level 2 charging stations do not use outlets but instead connect to vehicles through an electrical circuit. This process is more complicated but can charge multiple plug-in hybrids more efficiently in 3-4 hours.
What to consider before purchasing an electrical vehicle charging station for your home
Your energy consumption will be significantly reduced by proper electrical maintenance. The serviced electrical equipment will also run smoother and more efficiently.
Purchasing and installing a charging station at home is an immense convenience that provides great flexibility for EV owners. If you want to install a charging station at home, here are some factors to consider:
- How many charging amps does your EV use?
- Does your home have the proper requirements to accommodate them?
- How much power and how many plugs can your home’s electric panel handle?
- Do you have access to a 240-volt circuit at home?
- Does your current panel have the resources and space for it?
- Do you have a receptacle to use? If not, can you wire it directly?
