Benefits of Installing an EV Charger at Home
Installing a home EV charger is one of the smartest ways to get the most out of your electric vehicle. It adds daily convenience, improves efficiency, and helps you save over time. Enjoy other benefits like:
- Faster charging: Get a full charge overnight with a Level 2 charger, far quicker than standard outlets.
- Cost savings: Take advantage of lower residential energy rates and avoid public charging fees, cutting weekly costs.
- Convenience: No more detours to public stations—just plug in at home and go.
- Increased home value: EV-ready homes appeal to future buyers and can boost resale value.
- Reliable access: Always have a charger available when you need it, especially during high-demand times.
Types of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations We Install
Del-Air installs two main types of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) for at-home charging: Level 1 and Level 2. Each offers different charging speeds and outlet requirements depending on your needs and driving habits.
- Level 1 EVSE: These chargers typically come standard with your EV and plug into a regular 120-volt household outlet. They add about 3-5 miles of range per hour and are a simple, no-fuss option for overnight charging or low-mileage drivers.
- Level 2 EVSE: These chargers require a 240-volt outlet and deliver roughly 12-30 miles of range per hour. With faster, more efficient charging, they’re ideal for daily drivers or households with multiple EVs.
Considerations for EV Charger Installation
Before installing a Level 2 EV charger, there are a few key factors to think through. By considering these details ahead of time, you’ll help make your setup safe, efficient, and aligned with your daily driving needs.
- Electrical upgrades: Your home may need panel upgrades or additional capacity to support a Level 2 charger installation.
- Location: The charger should be installed in a garage or driveway within about 20 feet of where you park.
- Voltage needs: Your electrical system must support the charger’s amperage to deliver safe and consistent performance.
- Budget: Advanced features like Wi-Fi connectivity or faster charging speeds can increase the overall cost.
- Permits and codes: Local permitting and code requirements may apply and should be factored into your installation timeline.
