If you own an electric vehicle, you need to keep it charged and ready to drive. However, you may want the convenience of charging it at home. Let’s look at why autumn is the ideal time to install a home EV charger.
Electrician Availability
During the summertime, our electricians are often in high demand. The stress on people’s electrical systems at home because of running air conditioners and increased energy usage often means we are busy with service calls.
During the fall, however, they typically have better availability. You could have more convenient scheduling options for your home’s EV charger installation.
Milder Weather
The fall also makes it easier for our electricians to install EV chargers. Hot and muggy weather is uncomfortable to work in.
Alternatively, bitter cold and snow are dangerous for this kind of work. Autumn has milder and more agreeable weather that is conducive to installing a charger for your electric vehicle.
Dormant Landscaping
Vegetation dies or goes dormant during the fall. Tall trees and leafy shrubs shed their leaves.
Tall grasses and flower gardens likewise lose their volume, making it easier to navigate your landscaping. The electrician we dispatch to your home will not have to struggle through thick vegetation to get to the EV charger installation location.
Tax Incentives
During the latter part of the year, many federal, state, and local tax incentives and rebate programs reset. Installing the charger before the end of the year allows you to take advantage of these savings. You can also use it as an exemption when you file your taxes in the new year.
Wintertime Travel Prep
Charging your EV at a public charging station is a hassle during the winter. You either have to wait in your car while it charges or dash into a gas station, restaurant, or other public building to stay warm. A home EV charger enables you to charge your vehicle while you wait in the comfort and warmth of your own surroundings.
Holiday Travel Prep
Additionally, if you plan to travel for the winter holidays, you can prepare your vehicle at your convenience at home. You won’t have to schedule a time to visit a local charging station and then drive home on the energy that you just added to your car’s battery. You can keep your vehicle fully charged and ready to head out for your Thanksgiving and other winter vacation travels.
Money Saver
You probably want to save money for Christmas shopping and winter travel. The last thing you may want to spend your cash on is charging your EV at a charging station. Having one at home saves you money.
