EV Charging
Electric vehicles (EVs) have officially taken over the roads. But the transition from gas station runs to at-home charging brings a learning curve. If you’re relying on the standard Level 1 charger that came with your car, you’re likely frustrated by the 24-hour charge times. It’s time to upgrade.
Understanding Level 2 Charging
A Level 2 charger uses a 240-volt circuit—similar to what an electric dryer or oven uses. It can add up to 30 miles of range per hour, meaning you can fully charge almost any EV overnight while you sleep.
“Integrating your EV charger with a home solar system essentially means you are driving on sunshine. It is the ultimate realization of energy independence.”
The 5 Key Considerations
Several technological advancements have made this transition easier and more cost-effective than ever before:
Professional Installation is Non-Negotiable
Permits and professional installation are required by law in most municipalities. Attempting to DIY a 240v circuit can result in severe fire hazards and void your home insurance. Always consult with certified electricians like the team at Solengy before purchasing your unit.
