The biggest factor in choosing an electric car is the access to charging. While the range of electric vehicles is increasing, they are still not as prevalent as gas stations. Naturally then, buyers worry that you’ll be left scrambling to charge it – or forced to make trips to far-off industrial estates to do so.
The easiest solution to this range anxiety is to buy a home charger. Electric vehicles can usually plug into any regular socket but at 120V (or 240V in the UK) this is often very slow and can take days to fully charge the battery.
Buying a dedicated charger for the home allows you to achieve what is classed as level 2 charging, which is typically up to 7x faster than a standard socket connection and means that you can fully recharge overnight.
You will need to connect these to a high voltage and high amp outlet, which will require an electrician to install if you don’t have one in place. However, the benefits of having a charger installed in your garage or driveway are huge.
