⚡ The Benefits of Installing a Home EV Charger
By Mt. Vista Electric | Vancouver, WA
As electric vehicles (EVs) become more popular, many homeowners are realizing that public charging stations aren’t always enough. Installing a Level 2 EV charger at home gives you the freedom to charge on your schedule—while adding value and convenience to your property.
Here are the top reasons to install a home EV charger (and why it’s a smart investment for your future).
🚗 1. Charge Overnight While You Sleep
With a home EV charger, you can plug in your car at night and wake up to a full battery every morning—no more planning trips around public stations or waiting in line. It’s convenient, efficient, and fits your lifestyle.
⏱️ 2. Faster Charging Times
Standard wall outlets (Level 1) can take 24+ hours to fully charge your EV. A professionally installed Level 2 charger can cut that time down to just 4–8 hours, depending on your vehicle.
If you rely on your car daily, this makes a huge difference in flexibility and reliability.
💸 3. Save Money Over Time
Charging at home is almost always cheaper than paying for public charging. You’ll also avoid the wear and tear on your vehicle from unnecessary detours or stops. Plus, some utility providers offer EV charging incentives or off-peak rate savings—meaning more cash in your pocket.
🌎 4. It’s Eco-Friendly (and Future-Proof)
Electric vehicles reduce your carbon footprint, and home chargers ensure you're always ready to go—without relying on fossil fuels or waiting on limited infrastructure.
As more vehicles go electric, having a home EV charger will become the new normal—and you’ll be ahead of the curve.
🏠 5. Adds Value to Your Home
Installing an EV charger boosts your property’s appeal to future buyers. With more people switching to electric, homes equipped with charging infrastructure are seen as modern, sustainable, and ready for what’s next.
