Prepare Your Home for Electric Vehicle Needs with an Electric Car Charging Station

Degree is proud to offer professional Level 2 electric car charging station installation and permit services for your home.

An Electric Car Charging Station is a device that supplies electric energy to recharge electric vehicles (EVs). A Level 2 charger is a type of electric vehicle (EV) charging station that provides a faster and more efficient way to recharge your EV compared to a standard Level 1 charger. Level 2 chargers operate on a 240-volt circuit, similar to what an electric dryer or oven uses. This allows them to deliver more power and charge your EV much faster than a standard 120-volt Level 1 charger. A Level 2 charger can typically provide about 25-35 miles of range per hour of charging, depending on the vehicle and charger specifications. This is significantly faster than Level 1 chargers, which usually provide about 4-5 miles of range per hour. Choosing a Level 2 charger for your home offers a balance of speed, convenience, and efficiency, making it an ideal choice for EV owners looking to enhance their charging experience.

Why You Need Degree to Install Your Home’s Level 2 Electric Car Charging Station

Installing an Electric Car Charging Station at home is a smart move for convenience and sustainability, but it’s not a DIY job for several important reasons. Finding a professional, such as Degree, will ensure your system is up to all local codes and drawing the correct amount of power for your vehicle. We will also help you obtain any required permits for your EV charging station.
An Electric Car Charging Station at home offers a blend of convenience, cost-efficiency, and sustainability, making it a smart investment for any EV owner. Some additional reasons to consider one are:

• Convenience: Having a charging station at home means you can charge your vehicle overnight or whenever it’s parked, without needing to visit a public charging station. It integrates seamlessly into your daily routine.
• Cost Savings: Charging at home can be more cost-effective than using public charging stations, especially if you take advantage of off-peak electricity rates.
• Time Efficiency: Home charging is a timesaver. Instead of waiting in line at a public charger, you can plug in your car at home and go about your day or night.
• Environmental Benefits: An electric car charging station supports your commitment to a greener lifestyle. EVs produce zero emissions, and charging them at home using renewable energy sources further reduces your carbon footprint.
• Future-Proofing: As more people switch to electric vehicles, having a home charging station increases your property value and future-proofs your home for the inevitable shift towards electric transportation.
• Faster Charging: If you need to charge your EV quickly, a Level 2 charger is a great option. It’s perfect for overnight charging or topping up your battery during the day.
• Increased Range: With faster charging, you can extend your vehicle’s range more efficiently, making it easier to manage longer trips or daily commutes.
• Home Integration: Level 2 chargers can be installed in your garage or driveway, integrating with your home’s electrical system for easy access and use.
