Reasons to install EV chargers have gotten complicated with all the incentives and technology changes flying around. As someone who’s helped homeowners and businesses evaluate EV charging investments, I learned everything there is to know about why these installations make sense. Today, I’ll share it all with you.
Convenience Is the Primary Reason
Probably should have led with this section, honestly — home charging means never visiting a gas station again. Plug in when you get home, wake up to a full charge. The convenience alone justifies installation for most EV owners.
Cost Savings Add Up
That’s what makes home charging endearing to us budget-conscious types — residential electricity costs significantly less than public charging stations. Time-of-use rates make overnight charging even cheaper. Over years of ownership, the savings are substantial.
Property Value Increases
Homes with EV charging infrastructure appeal to the growing number of EV owners. As EV adoption increases, this feature becomes increasingly valuable to potential buyers.
Environmental Benefits
EVs charged with Northwest grid power produce fewer emissions than gasoline vehicles. Home charging powered by rooftop solar reduces impact further.
For Businesses
Workplace charging attracts employees and customers. It signals environmental commitment and prepares your facility for the increasingly electric future of transportation.
