Why Install EV Charging At Home?
More Convenient:
Faster charging speeds with up to 44 miles of range added per hour of charging
Possibility of multiple power setups and versatile indoor/outdoor design
Power share to maximize existing electrical capacity
Ability to charge multiple cars simultaneously
Safer and More Reliable:
Better performance in high heat: In hot weather of over 90 degrees, as we commonly experience in Arizona, mobile charging cords plugged into standard/NEMA 14-50 outlets can slow to a crawl or stop charging entirely. A properly installed charger offers more stable and consistent EV charging performance in our hot climate, and better weather protection overall.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) Protection: A GFCI detects imbalances in the electrical current and instantly cuts the power, making it much safer in the case of a short or fault.
Overcurrent Protection: Installed chargers have built-in overcurrent protection that protects the charger, your vehicle, and your home from damage due to excessive current.
Proper Wiring and Installation: A high quality, professional installation means you get correctly sized wiring and properly installed connectors to minimize voltage drop and overheating.
Monetary Incentives:
Electric utility companies often offer rebates for purchasing charging stations, as well as EV Time-of-Use Rates, which allow you to save money by charging your vehicle(s) during Off-Peak hours.
