EV Charging
Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming a popular choice for drivers. By using electricity instead of gasoline, EVs significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and offer long-term savings with lower fuel and maintenance costs. Plus, thanks to advancements in technology, EVs now match the range capabilities of traditional gas vehicles.
Every EV comes with a cord that allows you to charge the vehicle’s battery using a regular wall socket, known as a Level 1 charger. For faster charging, you can install a Level 2 charging station.
Level 2 EV chargers require a 240-volt electrical supply, similar to what is used for large appliances like electric dryers or stoves. Installation involves hiring a qualified electrician to install a dedicated circuit and the charging station itself. You may also choose to install a charging station with Wi-Fi connectivity for remote monitoring and control.
