If you’re planning to buy an electric vehicle (EV), you should have an electric vehicle charging station of your own. Yes, you may have a plug in your garage that works just fine, but at Troutman’s Chevy GMC we’ve seen the benefits of a home charging station for ourselves. Here’s why you should install one, and why now may be a great time to upgrade to a new EV.
The Benefits of a Charging Station
The best reason to install a home EV charging station is how much faster it can recharge your electric vehicle. You can plug your car into a typical outlet, one that you would normally use for an appliance like a clothes dryer, but that only gets you Level 1 charging — which is fairly slow.
This means that you’re adding range, but only a few miles per hour of charging. This might be alright if you use your EV occasionally, but if it’s your primary car this is going to be an issue.
The kind of home charging station we’re talking about comes with a new plug and offers Level 2 charging tech. This adds far more range per hour than a level 1 charger would. If you plug in your car overnight, it’s going to regain its full charge and be ready to go for your commute the next morning.
Why Upgrade Now?
Now’s a great time to buy an EV of your own because Chevrolet is helping drivers with their EV charging station installation. If you buy a 2022 Chevy Bolt EV or a 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV this year, Chevrolet will help cover the and permitting costs
