Are There Different Types of an Electric Vehicle Charger Available?
When you are looking for a home EV car charger, one of the questions you may have is whether there are different types of home EV car charging options. There are two different types of ways that you can charge an electric vehicle at your home. The first option is referred to as a level one charger. This is simply an outdoor outlet or outlet in your garage. A standard outdoor outlet can charge an electric vehicle, but it is very slow and uses a lot of electricity. The second option is a level 2 charger. A level 2 charger requires 240V outlet installation. You can then plug your vehicle into this outlet and charge your electric vehicle quickly and efficiently.
Is EV Home Charger Installation Something You Can Complete Yourself?
Homeowners are strongly discouraged from installing their own home EV car chargers. This is because you can damage your electrical system or your electric vehicle if the charger is installed incorrectly. Additionally, an electrician needs to assess your home electrical capacity to ensure your home and your electrical panel can support a new charger, and upgrades to your electrical system may be needed to accommodate the new charger.
What Are the Benefits of Having a Residential EV Car Charger Installed?
More people are taking the leap and purchasing an electric vehicle. If you are one of these people, you may find yourself wondering what the benefits of installing a home car charger are. Most people think that the number one reason to install a home charger is for convenience. However, while this is a huge factor, another factor to keep in mind is that if you use commercial chargers regularly, your battery may burn out faster. As such, installing a home charger is not only convenient, but it helps preserve the life of your car’s battery as well.
