Plug-In Electric Vehicles: A Popular EV Option
As wind and solar electric generation continue to play a greater and greater role in municipal electrical generation, so has the role of electric and hybrid vehicles. Specifically, a class of electrical vehicles called Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) has seen quite a bit of growth in terms of popularity. The most common types of PEVs we see today are the 100% electric Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), and a variety of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs). BEVs get their power by plugging into a charging station, whereas HEVs produce their own electricity internally as well get power in other ways. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) are a unique option we sometimes see, and can plug into EV charging stations, use gasoline, and generate electricity on their own like HEVs.
While that’s a lot of information, just consider it a bit of a brush-up in case you already own an EV, or a brief overview if you’re investigating your options. Most often, we install EV charging stations in Arvada to accommodate BEVs and PHEVs.
Level 2 EV Charging Stations For Fast-Charge Performance
Most electric and hybrid vehicles come standard with Level 1 chargers. These are fine, but in some cases may leave a bit to be desired in terms of charging speed. Many of our customers find that upgrading to a Level 2 charging station can really improve your EV experience. For most EVs, a full charge can be accomplished overnight or even during a normal day in your home. That’s up to 4-5 faster than a Level 1 charger, for reference.
A Level 2 home EV charging station requires a dedicated, 240 volt electrical circuit. These products also need to be installed with a properly sized electrical breaker and the right gauge of wire. As such, a Level 2 EV charger installation is best left to a professional, experienced electrician. In Arvada, Save Home Heat Company is a trusted name in EV charger installation. We will install your charging station correctly, following all manufacturer requirements as well as local and national electrical code (NEC).
