Keep Your EV On the Road

Experts estimate approximately 23% of new cars will be electric by 2025. If you’re looking to join this eco-friendly fleet—or already purchased your electric vehicle (EV)—you need to come up with a charging plan. We’ve found that for most homeowners in Sussex, installing a residential EV charger is the safest and most convenient option.

It lets you keep your battery full without fighting every Tesla owner in a 10-mile radius for a spot. But, before you schedule an EV charger installation, you need to consider things like charger level, cost, and location. After educating yourself, go ahead and give us a call. We’re the electrician that people in Sussex trust and have been helping you and your neighbors solve electrical problems for over 16 years.

Benefits of Home Car Charger Installation

Around 80% of all vehicle charging is done at home, and there’s a reason for that. Though the cost of putting in a residential EV station can be prohibitive, most electric car owners find that the pros of doing so far outweigh the cons. For most, that decision comes down to:

• Convenience: Imagine never worrying about running out of charge or driving in circles trying to find an open station. That’s the kind of freedom a home EV station can give you.
• Long-Term Savings: Most commercial charging stations charge you per hour and not for wattage. This means you often end up paying for non-charging time. At home, you only pay for what you use and don’t have middlemen to pay. To see how much you might pay at home, you can visit this state-by-state list of kilowatt per hour rates.

The Three Levels of Electric Car Chargers

Residential EV stations are available in three types. The first two are available for home installation, while the third is almost exclusively used by public charging networks and vehicle manufacturers.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Home Charging Station

There are several factors to consider when selecting your car charger. These items include:

• Your Preferences: Do you want SMART options? A fancy app that monitors usage and diagnoses any charging issues? For things like this, you’ll need to splurge on a more expensive model.
• Length of Commute: If your job is a couple of miles away, you probably won’t have to worry about running out of juice on your way home. A cheaper charger is likely the better choice. For those with commutes over 30 minutes, it’s a good idea to pay for a better charge.
• The Availability of Charging Stations: Around a third of public charging stations in the US are in California. Coverage can be spotty elsewhere. In areas where chargers are few and far between, it’s a good idea to purchase something more robust.
