What You Need to Know About Home EV Chargers

Aug 22, 2022

Electrical vehicles (EVs) are one of the best innovations that have been geared towards reducing environmental impact as well as costs to drivers. According to Policy Advice, the global number of EVs is more than 5.6 million. The good news is that the innovations keep coming, and drivers can now charge their electric vehicles at home. Here's what you need to know about home EV chargers.

How Do Home EV Chargers Work?

As the name indicates, home EV chargers are designed to help you fire up your electric vehicle in the comfort of your home. With an EV charger, you have a piece of charging equipment installed in your home. That means you can plug in your EV when you get home and have a fully charged vehicle when you need to leave. You'll need professional installation so that your home charger works as designed.

Is Charging Your EV at Home Convenient?

Home EV chargers are convenient for several reasons. For one, they help keep your battery healthy since you can charge your EV slowly instead of relying on fast chargers from public charging stations. According to ChargePoint, fast charging might seem like the better option, but it generates heat that can lead to heat stress. Therefore, home EV chargers might be helpful in keeping your EV's battery in good health. The biggest benefit is you can charge your EV overnight and have it ready to go by the time you wake up. You can also save a lot of money over time since you don't have to pay public charging rates.

How Do I Find the Right Home Charger for My EV?

If you think that a home EV charger might be right for you, there are several options to consider. The right EV charger for you generally depends on the type of charging port you have. In any case, having the right charger for your EV can greatly enhance your ownership of your electric vehicle. With an EV charger at home, you don't have to worry about range anxiety and you'll have more peace of mind.


Today, the world of electric vehicles is now more exciting than ever, and it's worth buying a home charger if you don't want to be limited by public EV charging networks. Ready to have your EV charger installed? Don't hesitate to get in touch with Winn Electric Contracting today!
