How does it work?
An EV charger pulls electricity from your home and delivers it to an electric vehicle, just like any other appliance or device you charge by plugging into the wall. Most residential EV chargers will be Level 2, meaning that they pull electricity from a 240V outlet and can fully charge your electric vehicle overnight. Level 3 chargers, most often found in public locations and along highways, can charge your EV in as little as 20 minutes.
Why will it save me money?
EV chargers themselves won’t save you money, but they will enable you to use electric vehicles, which can save you hundreds of dollars a year!
Why is it better for the environment?
EV chargers themselves aren’t better for the environment, but they will enable you to use electric vehicles, which are much better for the environment!
