EV Charging at Home vs. Charging in Public
There are a few differences between charging your electric vehicle (EV) with home chargers or public chargers. Charging your electric vehicle at home presents a reliable and cost-effective option, with predictable electricity rates that ensure you know exactly how much it will cost to replenish your battery. In contrast, public charging can be a mixed bag, ranging from free promotional sessions provided by automakers to varying fees at charging stations, making it less transparent in terms of cost.
Home charging offers unmatched convenience and the assurance that you’ll have a functional charger available. However, public stations are essential for longer journeys or when you’re on the go, providing critical access when you need it. Ultimately, the choice between home and public charging may rely on individual circumstances. Contact us today to discuss your needs!

Your EV Charger FAQs, Answered
Yes! Installing an EV charger at home offers unparalleled convenience—allowing your vehicle to charge overnight or while you focus on other tasks and eliminating the hassle of waiting at public charging stations. Additionally, home charging often comes with more predictable and lower electricity rates, making it a cost-effective solution for EV owners.
For home EV chargers, you typically need between 32 and 40 amps to ensure efficient charging. While plugging into a 120-volt outlet will use up to 4,800 watts, opting for a 240-volt outlet significantly increases the charging speed for your vehicle.
When installing a 32 amp EV charger, you should use a 40 amp circuit breaker, which is a standard capacity that can handle the load safely. For those looking to utilize the enhanced charging capabilities of a 40 amp EV charger, a 50 amp circuit breaker is necessary to accommodate potential additional appliances and ensure optimal performance.
