How to Make Your Home EV Charging Compatible

Are You Ready to Keep Your Electric Vehicle Charged at Home?

If you're thinking about purchasing an alternative fuel vehicle here at Toyota Santa Monica, you'll want to make sure that your home is ready to accommodate your electric vehicle charging needs. Your home already comes with the bare minimum requirements to keep your EV charged, but you might find that you want more robust recharging capability. Here's a quick look at what it takes to make your home EV charging compatible so that you can keep your new Toyota vehicle ready for adventure around Santa Monica in Los Angeles.

What are my at-home EV charging options?

The most basic option is plugging your EV into one of the standard outlets in your home. These are the same outlets that you use whenever you plug in a device or appliance, like a television or a lamp. This option doesn't really require any further action, but many drivers around Culver City choose to take the next steps to make their homes compatible with more powerful charging options. Recharging your EV using a standard outlet is a slow-going process, so you might wish to go with the installation of a Level 2 charger.

What is Level 2 charging?

Level 2 chargers offer more powerful recharging capability, allowing you to recharge your vehicle faster so that you don't have to wait as long to get the battery power you need to handle your journeys around Venice Beach. The installation of a Level 2 charger should be handled by a professional electrician to ensure proper setup. With that done, you will have access to faster charging, more convenience, and greater flexibility when it comes to enjoying your EV.
