A PHEV home charger system can make it easy to maintain and charge your plug-in hybrid vehicle, so you can continue to use it at the top of its capacity. Here at A M Maus & Sons, Inc., we’re excited to introduce alternative energy vehicles and to make it easy to integrate them into your day-to-day life. That’s why we’re sharing all you need to know about installing a PHEV home charging system.
How Do I Install a PHEV Home Charging Station?
Before you install a home charging station, it’s important to understand the different levels of charging infrastructure, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Level 1 charging is good for plug-in hybrid vehicles, as they typically have smaller batteries than fully electric vehicles. It’s the charging you get through standard outlets and home power infrastructure, so you don’t need to worry about installing new technology.
Level 3 charging is also known as fast charging. Fast charging is the quickest way to charge your vehicle but is too high a voltage for most PHEVs and most residential homes. That means any additional PHEV home charging system will utilize Level 2 charging capability.
When installing a home charging system for your PHEV, you want to consider your driving style, like how many miles you travel daily, where you park your vehicle, and what kind of battery capacity it has. Then, it’s simply a matter of finding the right company to install your charger to those specifications.
And you can save big on home charging systems. Not only can you receive tax credits and savings on alternative energy models, but the charging systems are often covered by tax credits as well, up to 30% or $1,000.
