The continuing growth of electric vehicles is necessitating that more and more people are installing a home car charging station at their homes in Cary, NC. Having nearly a century of experience, Bolton Construction & Service is well-versed in EV charger installation for both residential and commercial clients. Many people will ask if they can simply plug in their EV to a standard 120-volt outlet and charge their vehicle that way. The answer is yes, you can do that, however, the amount of time required to fully charge an EV in this manner is measured in days, not hours. Even using this method overnight only provides between 35 and 40 miles of range, and while this may work for some, others would prefer to charge faster. Contact us today to learn more about our electric vehicle charging installation services.
When it comes to home car charging stations, there are a couple of options. One option, which we mentioned above, is to simply use a standard outlet to charge your electric vehicle. This is commonly referred to as Level 1 charging and takes the longest to fully charge an electric vehicle. However, more and more EV owners are wanting a faster option to charge their electric vehicles, and that requires the installation of a Level 2 charging station.
A Level 2 charging station is a 240 volt system that allows for a faster electrical draw, which means your EV charges faster. In fact, it will typically be about 3-4 times faster with charging compared to a Level 1 option. And while many homeowners will opt to install these charging stations inside their garage for ease of use, it is possible to install these outdoors as well.
The demand for electrical vehicle charging installations has continued to go up in Cary, North Carolina, and beyond. Many are now seeing this as an investment not only for their daily use but also for the property value of the home. The convenience factor is also given as a reason, as the slow speed of charging with a standard outlet can often mean that the battery isn’t as full if the vehicle gets used for more than just a work commute. Our team at Bolton Construction & Service can help explain all of the details of an EV charger installation.
Having a home car charging station installed in your home can provide several benefits. Cary began as a railroad village and became known as an educational center in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
