Key Information About Electric Car Home Charger Installation
Why Is Electric Car Home Charger Installation A Good Idea?
Anything that facilitates your owning an electric vehicle can be a good idea. Electric cars are better for the environment than traditional gasoline-powered automobiles and they can save you money on gas. Furthermore, many of them look great and they can be fun to drive.
Perhaps the biggest concern potential EV buyers have is being able to charge their vehicle consistently and effectively. EV’s are still a new technology to most drivers, and the benefits, or even basic availability, of home chargers is not that widely known. Electric home chargers are available in Southern Ontario, but they require professional installation.

Different Electric Car Charging Stations
Many drivers don’t realize that not all electric car charging stations are the same. There are three different types of EV charging stations: wall outlets, specialized high-voltage stations, and direct current fast charge (DCFC) stations.
Wall outlets are the most common. They are easy to use and they deliver a comparatively low current. The problem is that they take a long time to charge a vehicle.
High voltage charging stations can deliver much higher amounts of energy. They can reduce charging times drastically for electric vehicles that support them. They require special cables and connectors to connect to an electric vehicle.
DCFC stations are the newest in EV charging technology. They enable electric cars to charge their batteries very quickly. DCFC’s can charge an electric vehicle in as little as 30 minutes! This is much faster than a wall outlet.
Electric Car Home Charger Station Cost
The cost of installation depends on several factors. The basic unit usually costs approximately $700. It is a simple box with a socket, meter, and a standard electrical outlet.
The cost of the EV home charger and installation can range from $1,000 to $5,000. The largest expense is usually the wiring. If you need to upgrade your electrical service and/or install new wiring, the cost can rise from $2,000 to as high as $10,000. Labour costs can range from $1,500 to $5,000.
