What is an Electrical Vehicle Charging Station?

While an electric vehicle charging station isn’t required for electrical vehicle owners, navigating life without one can be challenging. Public charging options are often costlier, time-consuming, and unreliable. By investing in an EV charging station at your home, you’ll enjoy the ultimate convenience and be prepared for a future where we no longer have fossil fuel powered vehicles.

Preparing for an Electrical Vehicle Charging Station

When you choose Raincap Construction + Electrical for your EV charging station, you can expect a thorough electrical evaluation. This will allow us to ensure your property has the proper wiring, electrical panel, electrical service, and other features required to support a safe and effective EV charging station. If necessary, we may need to upgrade your electrical panel/system or perform other upgrades to support your charging station. We’ll inform you of our findings and recommendations while answering any questions you may have.

Type of EV Chargers

In general, there are two types of EV charger stations, including:

Level 1

Level 1 uses a traditional 120-volt outlet. If you choose Level 1, you can expect a charging rate of about 5 miles of range per charging hour. It may meet your needs if your goal is to charge your vehicle overnight.

Level 2

Level 2 involves a 240-volt outlet, similar to what you might find on your oven, water heater, central air conditioner, and other appliances. With Level 2, you can charge your vehicle significantly faster than Level 1, with rates between 10 to 60 miles of range per charging hour.

Benefits of an EV Home Charging Station

Here are several of the many reasons an at-home charging station is a good idea for your home and electric vehicle.
