Electric vehicles (EVs) are increasingly common as gas prices soar. The switch from gas to electric, however, requires a qualified electrician. All EVs need charging stations. These charging stations are connected to the home’s electrical panel. That charging station draws from the same electricity as the home’s lights, appliances, and outlets.
Electrical Savvy Contracting Inc. in Burnaby focuses on staying up-to-date with the latest home electrical technologies, including EVs. Their experienced electricians install EV charging stations for homeowners and business owners. Electrical Savvy’s experience with EV charging station installations means they know some important considerations for homeowners to make.
1. The type of electric vehicle you own or plan to purchase
The EV type helps determine how much charging is needed for the car. This is essential information. The type of EV will also help determine the extent of work required from electricians like Electrical Savvy Contracting. This is also an excellent time to consider future EV purchases. For example, is there only one EV in the house? Or will the charging station eventually cater to two EVs?
2. How much driving will you do?
The amount of driving planned for the EV also helps determine the type of charging station required. For example, those with longer commutes will need a charger with a higher charging capacity. EV charging stations are divided into three levels according to how long it takes to charge the vehicle. Level one charging stations are the slowest, while level three stations are the fastest. However, level three charging stations are usually for commercial spaces. Burnaby’s Electrical Savvy works with homeowners to find the best solution for each home and vehicle.
3. Clean BC and the GO ELECTRIC rebate program
EV charging stations are not all the same. This is important to consider come rebate time. Not all charging stations are covered by Clean BC’s GO ELECTRIC Program. Talk to qualified electricians at Electrical Savvy Contracting to help determine which charging stations qualify for rebates. Their electricians stay informed on the latest in home electricity with a deep knowledge of EV charging stations in BC.
