Why install a home EV charging station?

Relying on public charging stations can be a major headache. Not only are they expensive, but they take a long time. Worse yet, they could be occupied or offline when you need to charge your vehicle — making them incredibly inconvenient for those who commute or are on a tight schedule.

Still, it's important to carefully consider the pros and cons before installing an electric vehicle charging station at home to make sure it's the right choice for you and your home.

EV home charger benefits

  • Flexibility & convenience: A home EV charging station allows you to charge your vehicle at your convenience, avoiding peak hours and optimizing your schedule.
  • Save time & money: Charging a standard-size EV at home typically costs between $2.50 and $14. A public charging station can run anywhere from $12 to $24 and your vehicle may take several hours to charge depending on the type of charger available.
  • Increased home value: Installing an EV charging station enhances the appeal and value of the property.

EV home charger disadvantages

  • Upfront costs: While the long-term savings are substantial, there is an initial investment for the purchase and installation of the charging station. However, available rebates, tax credits, and financing can help offset the initial cost.
  • Accessibility: With most chargers only reaching up to 25 feet away, finding a suitable location for the charging station may be challenging — especially for properties that utilize street parking or have a detached garage with limited access to electrical outlets. County Comfort Home Solutions will assess your property and recommend the best solution.
  • Outdated electrical systems: Homes with old or outdated electrical systems may not be able to accommodate the capacity needed for EV charging. Our experts will inspect your electrical system to ensure it can handle the extra capacity EV charging requires.

Level 1 vs. Level 2 Charging

Before installing an electric vehicle charging station at home, it's important to understand the different levels of charging available. Two charging levels are available to charge most electric vehicles at home: Level 1 charging and Level 2 charging. Learn the difference below.

Level 1 Charging

Because every electric vehicle comes standard with a 120-volt charging option, EV owners can use a standard household outlet for Level 1 charging. While a convenient option, it's not the most efficient. That's because charging an electric vehicle with a household outlet takes approximately four to five hours per driving hour charged. So charging your EV with Level 1 charging means you'll only store 35-40 hours of driving range.

Level 2 Charging

Level 2 charging requires a 240-volt outlet, similar to ovens, water heaters, central air conditioners, and other major household appliances. Although it requires installing a special outlet, Level 2 charging takes less than half the time as Level 1 charging, adding an extra 180 miles of driving range with the same 8-hour charging window. If you have a long commute or are short on time, Level 2 charging is the ideal choice for an EV home charger.

County Comfort Home Solutions can install the necessary electrical wiring for Level 1 and Level 2 EV home charger installation in Mount Pleasant, Cortlandt, Yorktown, and nearby. Not sure which option is the best fit for your home? Our experts will assess your home and recommend the charging level best suited to your needs and property.

FAQs About Home EV Charging Station Installation

Can I DIY a home EV charging station?

Unless you are a qualified and experienced professional, it is strongly recommended that you don't install an EV home charger yourself. Instead, it is best to leave the task to a licensed electrician with the experience and training to ensure the charger is safely and properly installed and is compliant with the required rules and regulations. In addition, exterior charging stations must be hardwired, which poses additional risks, challenges, and requirements

How much does EV home charger installation cost?

There are many factors that determine the cost to install a home EV charging station. Some of the primary factors include:

  • The charger type
  • The desired installation location
  • The condition of the existing wiring and electrical panel
  • Whether the panel or wiring need to be replaced

Although the cost can vary, you may be eligible for federal and state rebates that could offset the expense. Other incentives and tax credits may be available from the city and utility companies.

Are there rebates or tax credits for electric vehicle charging stations?

Yes, there are rebate programs that can assist with the cost of installing an electric vehicle charging station at home.

  • The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offers a 30% federal tax credit up to $1,000 for equipment and installation of some chargers.
  • There are also significant federal rebates for consumers who purchase a new or used electric vehicle through 2032. Those who purchase a qualified new EV can get a tax credit of up to $7,500, while qualified pre-owned EVs offer an incentive of up to $4,000.
  • Other rebates are available through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the Department of Energy, and utility companies.

If you are considering installing a home EV charger and plan to utilize federal, state, or local rebates, it is essential to make sure your project meets the rebate requirements.
