5 Reasons to Install an EV Charging Station

You can use a public charging station to keep your electric vehicle humming along—but keep in mind that charging is not as fast as filling a tank with gas.

You can spend five minutes or less in a gas station and leave with a full tank. A Level 2 charge requires 4-8 hours.

Installing a charging station at home offers benefits you will not get at a public station. Here are five reasons to install an electric vehicle charging port at your home:

• Convenience
  You can plug in at night and be ready to roll by morning, a convenience you never had with a gasoline-powered vehicle. You are in control of your own charging station. There is no chance of someone unplugging your vehicle and plugging theirs in.

• Saving Money
  You know the electricity rates for your home. You can charge your vehicle during off-peak hours, when electricity rates are at their lowest. Cost and charging plans can vary from public station to station, and prices may differ depending on the time of day.
   
• Home Value
  According to Zillow, homes with electrical vehicle chargers sell up to 10 days faster than homes without chargers. Homes with environment-friendly features, like solar panels, electric vehicle chargers, smart thermostats, and energy-efficient appliances and lighting, can make your property more appealing to buyers.
  
  Realtor.com analyzed the housing market in areas with the most vehicle charging stations and those with fewer stations. It found that homes in areas with the most electric vehicle charging stations were listed 1.5 times higher than the other nearby communities.
  
  
• Tax Credits
  Our team will explore local and state energy rebates to help you offset the cost of your EV home charger.

• Time Saver
  You’ll save on time typically spent driving to and from a charging station. With a home charger, you do not have to wait in line or waste time searching for a charging station.
