How Can I Make My Home EV Charging Compatible?

When you purchase an electric or hybrid Porsche from Porsche South Bay of Hawthorne in Hawthorne, CA, you'll have the option of charging it from the comfort of your home. Here are some simple steps on how to make your home EV charging compatible.

Choose a Charger

Before installing a charger into your home, you'll need to decide what kind of charger you want. The Level 1 charger, for example, takes between 40-50 hours to get a fully electric vehicle to a complete charge, and would therefore be better for a driver who typically takes shorter drives. The Level 2 charger, on the other hand, can charge an EV in between 4-10 hours, but requires a more robust 240-volt outlet.

Pick the Location for Your Charger

When you pick a good location for your charger, you'll want to find somewhere that is easily accessible for your vehicle close to your home's electrical panel.

Install Your Charger

To install your charger, you'll want to hire an electrician to ensure that this process is done safely and correctly. The electrician will likely have to hook your charger up to your house's electrical system, and may have to install new circuits and wiring.
