There are many choices for in-home car charging stations. They come in all different shapes and sizes. Your most important decision will be the voltage for your in-home charging station. Using higher voltage means your car will charge faster, but it can also be more expensive to install. It’s up to you; our expert electricians will help you choose the best fit for you.

Option 1: 120v Charging Stations

The 120v charging stations use a standard plug, just like most of the plugs in your home. With this option, it takes about nine hours to charge your car for a forty-mile drive, so take this into consideration when you’re making your decision. If you don’t drive much or your commute is short, you don’t need to invest a lot of money to get your station up and running.

Option 2: 240v Charging Stations

The 240v charging stations use the same type of plug as the standard washing machine. They average about ten miles per hour of charge, though this will vary based on your car type and the particular charging station you install. If you have a longer commute, don’t have access to a charging station at work, or prefer to have the flexibility to drive farther without waiting around for a charge, this might be the best option.
