The future of electric vehicles (EVs) is an exciting one, with automakers pushing boundaries and introducing innovative models.Charging at home is by far the most popular option for EV owners. Many people choose to charge their vehicles overnight when it is most convenient and electric rates can be lower if you are on a time of use plan offered by several Vermont utilities. Homes often have ready access to power connections, reducing EV charging equipment installation costs. Existing 120V outlets can be used for Level 1 charging, using equipment supplied by vehicle manufacturers who generally recommend using a 15 Amp circuit with GFCI protection. Several varieties of level 2 equipment are available with 240V plug connections which can also reduce installation costs if buildings have existing outlets in garages or near vehicle parking spots.
