Seattle Home EV Charger Installation
Experience the Benefits of Installing a Home EV Charger
Convenience
A home EV charger offers a level of convenience you're bound to love. With a home charger, you can charge your vehicle overnight without frequent trips to public charging stations. Plug in before bed and wake up to a fully charged vehicle.
Cost Savings
Charging an electric vehicle at home costs about half as much as recharging at public EV charging networks. Additionally, many utility companies offer time-of-use rates, allowing you to save even more by charging during off-peak hours. In Seattle, off-peak rates can be up to 30% lower than peak rates, significantly reducing your charging costs.
Increased Home Value
Homes with energy-efficient features, including EV chargers, sell for more than comparable homes without these features. As electric vehicles become more prevalent, having a dedicated home EV charger can make your property more attractive to potential buyers, particularly in eco-conscious cities like Seattle.
Types of Electric Vehicle Chargers We Install
Level 1 Chargers
Level 1 chargers use a standard 120-volt outlet, making them the most basic option for EV charging. While they are the slowest charging option, they are also the easiest to install and are ideal for drivers who drive less frequently or use their cars for short commutes and running errands.
Level 2 Chargers
Level 2 chargers operate on a 240-volt circuit, similar to what you would use for appliances like dryers. These chargers are the most popular choice for home installations because they offer significantly faster charging times than Level 1 chargers. They’re perfect for daily drivers who need to recharge their vehicles quickly and efficiently overnight.
