Why install an EV Charger?
The short answer is... it's faster and more efficient to charge your Electric Vehicle with a dedicated charger! And who doesn't love to get where they're going faster?!
Going a little more in depth, your Electric Vehicle runs with a different type of power than your house provides to charge. Because of that, your Electric Vehicle needs to convert that energy to the correct type of power. Because this conversion happens inside of the car, charging with a standard outlet at home is very slow. With a dedicated EV Charger, the conversion happens inside of the charger instead of the car. This allows your Electric Vehicle to charge at a faster rate - getting you where you need to go faster!
