Key Benefits of a Level 2 EV Charger at Home

1. Much Faster Charging (Biggest Advantage) 

• Adds ~20–40 miles of range per hour
• Can fully charge most EVs in 4–10 hours (overnight)
• Up to 5x faster than a standard outlet (Level 1)
• This means your car is always ready in the morning, even if you drove a lot the day before.

2. Major Cost Savings vs Public Charging

• Home electricity is often 2–3× cheaper than public chargers
• Example:
  • Home: ~6¢/mile
  • Public: ~13¢/mile
• Over a year, this can save hundreds of dollars.
• Bonus: You can charge during off-peak hours for even lower rates

3. Convenience (Charge While You Sleep)

• No more waiting at charging stations
• No detours or planning around public chargers
• Just plug in at home like your phone
• For busy homeowners (like you in Morris County), this is often the #1 selling point.

4. Increased Home Value & Marketability

• EV-ready homes are becoming highly desirable
• Adds a modern, future-proof feature to your property
• As EV adoption grows, this becomes a strong resale advantage.
