Before you can drive home to Denver in your new EV, it’s good to do some research on the types of electric vehicle charging station available. Most home chargers are either a Level 1 or 2. The difference is the charging speed and energy usage.
The next step to prepare your home for an electric vehicle is to organize your garage. Cleaning out clutter and organizing the space gives you more room for your car, your charging station, and also your electrician. It’s much easier to maneuver and complete work in a cleaner space.
Your power panel helps to distribute electricity throughout your home, and it is rated for a maximum amount of current flow measured in Amperes – usually around 100 Amps. Keep track of how much energy you consume on a typical day. You’ll need to relay this information to your technician, so you can be sure not to overload your power panel when the electric vehicle charging batteries.
Look for a good electrician around Boulder and Broomfield. Your electrician will help you determine the best way to install the electric vehicle charging station based on your energy consumption. Many drivers simply install a dedicated 240-volt plug in the garage or a hardwired circuit back to the power panel for a few hundred dollars. If you need to upgrade your power panel though, you could spend upwards of $1,000 instead.
After discussing your options with your electrician and your dealership, purchase the electric vehicle charging station of your choice. Then schedule an appointment to have it professionally installed. Then, you’re ready to fuel up your car from home!
