Why install a home EV charging station?

Public charging stations across New York are often costly, slow, or unavailable when you need them most. For busy commuters, families, or homeowners in colder regions where battery life drains faster, a home EV charger offers the freedom and convenience you need.

Benefits of a home EV charging station:

Flexibility & convenience: Charge your vehicle overnight or anytime that fits your schedule.
Save time & money: Charging at home is typically far less expensive than public charging stations.
Boost property value: A professionally installed EV charger can make your home more appealing to future buyers, especially as more New Yorkers make the switch to electric vehicles.

Potential considerations:

Upfront costs: Rebates, New York State incentives, and federal tax credits can help offset installation costs.
Existing home electrical system: Older homes in Rochester, Syracuse, and other historic New York neighborhoods may need upgrades to support Level 2 charging. Our team will assess your system and recommend the right solution.

Level 1 vs. Level 2 Charging

Before installing an electric vehicle charging station at home, it's important to understand the different levels of charging available. Two charging levels are available to charge most electric vehicles at home: Level 1 charging and Level 2 charging. Learn the difference below.

Level 1 Charging

Because every electric vehicle comes standard with a 120-volt charging option, EV owners can use a standard household outlet for Level 1 charging. While a convenient option, it's not the most efficient. That's because charging an electric vehicle with a household outlet takes approximately four to five hours per driving hour charged. So charging your EV with Level 1 charging means you'll only store 35-40 hours of driving range.

Level 2 Charging

Level 2 charging requires a 240-volt outlet, similar to ovens, water heaters, central air conditioners, and other major household appliances. Although it requires installing a special outlet, Level 2 charging takes less than half the time as Level 1 charging, adding an extra 180 miles of driving range with the same 8-hour charging window. If you have a long commute or are short on time, Level 2 charging is the ideal choice for an EV home charger.

Marlock Electric can install the necessary electrical wiring for Level 1 and Level 2 EV home charger installation in Canandaigua, Perinton, Webster, and nearby.

FAQs About Home EV Charging Station Installation

Can I DIY a home EV charging station?

Unless you are a qualified and experienced professional, it is strongly recommended that you don't install an EV home charger yourself. Instead, it is best to leave the task to a licensed electrician with the experience and training to ensure the charger is safely and properly installed and is compliant with the required rules and regulations. In addition, exterior charging stations must be hardwired, which poses additional risks, challenges, and requirements

How much does EV home charger installation cost?

There are many factors that determine the cost to install a home EV charging station. Some of the primary factors include:

The charger type
The desired installation location
The condition of the existing wiring and electrical panel
Whether the panel or wiring need to be replaced

Although the cost can vary, you may be eligible for federal and state rebates that could offset the expense. Other incentives and tax credits may be available from the city and utility companies.

Other rebates are available through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the Department of Energy, and NYSERDA.

If you are considering installing a home EV charger and plan to utilize federal, state, or local rebates, it is essential to make sure your project meets the rebate requirements.
