Electric vehicles minimize pollution and protect our environment, and if you own one or are considering buying one, you’ll need an EV charging station for your Prospect, KY, home. Having your own charging station at home will make it easier, more convenient, and more affordable for you to keep your EV fully charged at all times so it is ready to go whenever you are. Read on to learn more about EV charging station installation and its benefits.
"Absolute was a very efficient company quick schedule the tech came out to an excellent job. He was polite and well informed. I highly recommend this company to anyone." - Clark S.
Electric vehicles, of course, require electricity in order to run. As you drive your vehicle throughout the day, you’ll wear down its battery, just as you would go through gas in a traditional vehicle. To prevent the car from stalling, you’ll eventually need to recharge it, similar to filling up at a gas pump.
To accomplish this, you could go to a public charging station, though these can be quite expensive, potentially negating your possible savings over driving a gas-powered vehicle. You could also plug your car directly into a traditional outlet in your home or garage to charge it up. However, standard outlets don’t deliver a ton of power at once, which means that this method can take quite a long time to give your EV a full charge. If you are in a rush, it might not be charged enough when you are ready to go.
With home EV charging stations, though, you’ll get a variety of benefits, including:
Fast, reliable charging
Convenience of charging at home
Additional savings if your home uses solar power
Peace of mind that your battery will be full each morning
No need to make a trip out just to charge up
High-quality EV charging stations can fill up your vehicle in just a few hours, and even lower-end models can give you a full charge overnight. Your electrician can work with you to determine which model is best for your needs and budget.
EV charging station installation requires connecting the charger to your home’s electrical system, and this is not a job you should attempt to do on your own. Electrical work is highly dangerous due to the potential risk of electrocution, so it is always best to leave this task to a professional electrician.
Overall, the installation process is relatively simple for someone who knows what they are doing. In most cases, your electrician will be able to complete the job in a single work session. They can let you know a more specific timeline during your initial consultation. During this time, they’ll inspect your electrical system to ensure it is up to the task of powering an EV charger. Your electrician can also let you know at this time whether any additional upgrades might be needed.
