How EV Chargers Can Improve Your Life
If you live in Sacramento, you may have access to public EV charging stations throughout your day, but you can’t beat the convenience of having your own at home. Here are some of the benefits you’ll quickly discover once you get your own EV charger installation in Sacramento:
- Ease of Charging: Charge your vehicle overnight without needing to visit public charging stations during the day.
- Time-Saving: Avoid waiting in line at public chargers or waiting around for your car to finish charging.
- Lower Energy Costs: Home electricity rates are typically lower than the cost of public charging. Charging during off-peak hours, like overnight, can further reduce costs.
- Tax Incentives & Rebates: Many regions offer incentives, rebates, or tax credits for installing home EV chargers.
- Controlled Charging: Home chargers often allow for controlled charging speeds, which can be better for the longevity of your vehicle's battery when compared to rapid charging.
- Family or Multiple Vehicles: If you have more than one electric vehicle in the household, a home charger can accommodate multiple cars, simplifying the charging process for everyone.

How EV Chargers Can Improve Your Life
Many homeowners have questions about working with an electrician on an EV charger installation in Sacramento. Here are a few we’ve heard frequently from our customers:
- What type of EV charger should I get? This depends on your lifestyle, commute, and desired charging rate. We often install Level 2 chargers for our customers, but a Level 1 charger may fit your needs if you do not commute very far.
- Where should I install my EV charger? Usually, EV chargers are added to your garage so you can charge your car while it’s parked. The exact location may be determined by your existing outlets (or where it is most convenient to install an outlet). If your garage is detached and has no electrical connection, this can get more complicated.
- How long does it take to install an EV charger? If your electrical system is in good shape and can handle the addition of a new charger, the actual installation does not take more than a couple of hours.
- How quickly will my car charge? This depends entirely on the type of charger you choose. Many Level 2 chargers have the ability to fully charge your car overnight. Level 1 chargers will fill up your car at a slower rate, while DC fast chargers – more commonly used in commercial applications – can charge your car in less than an hour.
- What kind of outlet does an EV charger use? A Level 1 charger can be plugged into a standard outlet. Meanwhile, a Level 2 charger requires the use of a 240V outlet, the same type of outlet you plug a dryer into. Work with an electrician to install your EV charger and make sure it is on its own dedicated circuit.
