We understand that some may still be skeptical about the benefits of having an EV charger at home. Let’s put those concerns to rest. We’ve done the research for you and come up with the top 5 benefits of why you should invest in an EV charger for home. 

EV chargers are a wonderfully practical investment even if you don’t have a PV system. After all, as a quick example youre paying 25 cents per kW with a 40kW battery, you’re still only paying $10 to fill up your EV’s battery. We have several EV charges to suit your needs.

Cheaper

When charging at a fuel station, or any other public charging station, youonsider that more and more EV Chargers (including all the ones we offer) can use the excess power generated by your PV system, effectively making charging your vehicle free!

More convenient

The convenience of having an EV charger at home means you never have to stop at a gas station to charge your car. All you need to do is plug the car in and go to sleep. This type of convenience can’t be matched by using a public charging station.

Compare that then to the convenience of having an EV charger at home. Stopping at a gas station becomes a thing of the past, never again will you realistically even have to think about charging your vehicle. Simply plug it in when you return home, adjust your charging schedule via your chargers app to suit your needs, and then leave it overnight, to wake up to a are subject to the whims of their pricing, which can often be far higher than what you would be able to enjoy at home. Especially when you c fully charged vehicle every morning.

Better for the vehicle

Rapid charging, though convenient, can have long term detrimental effects on your vehicle. Just like a smart phone battery, it is better for the vehicle to keep the battery near-full, rather than just topping it up from 5% to 10%, plugging it in wherever you stop. 

A home EV charger prolongs your vehicles battery life by providing consistent charging, avoiding the increased temperatures which reduce your vehicle’s battery life. After all, a 7 kW charger will be more than enough to charge your vehicle overnight, meaning you do not even have to go big to enjoy fantastic benefits.

Compatibility

Not all public EV chargers are compatible with all electric vehicles. Having one at home means that you can select one with certainty that it will function with your electric vehicle of choice.

Boosted property value

When the time comes to move from your home, having an electric vehicle charger installed can be a very attractive incentive, especially as they become more and more popular, so even when you might be moving away, the electric vehicle charger still proves to be a positive investment.
