Key Features of Qmerit EV Charging Installation

A Qmerit charging installation isn’t only a reliable and safe solution — it also provides great value to homeowners. The following is included with your installation:

• Installation of a Level 2 hardwire charging station or NEMA 14-50 outlet to pair with a Level 2 charging cord, plus labor and materials (NEMA 14-50 outlets are often included with EVs, but homeowners will need to provide a Level 2 hardwire charging station)
• Main panel load calculation to determine the available capacity
• Installation of a new, properly sized breaker in the panel
• Installation of code-compliant electrical wiring and protective tubing
• Permit and inspection to meet guidelines of local jurisdictions (fees apply)
• Powering up and testing the charging unit to ensure proper operation
• 1-year warranty on parts and labor

Why Consider a Home EV Charging Station?

As the use of EVs has increased, more cities and businesses have implemented designated charging stations for the public. Homeowners may wonder if purchasing a home charger is worth the investment. While commercial EV chargers are useful, home charging stations deliver several unique benefits, including:

Puts Homeowners More in Control of Charging 

An EV charger at home allows you to program it to ensure proper maintenance according to the specifications of your vehicle. Having more control over the charger helps enhance aspects like mileage range.

Extends Battery Life

EV batteries eventually wear out over time, but homeowners can lengthen the lives of these batteries by using a home charging station. You can configure a home charger and charge the vehicle to the optimal power at the manufacturer-recommended speed for a long-lasting battery life.

Enhances Convenience

While growing more common, public EV charging stations still aren’t as convenient as conventional gas stations. They make a great option when out and about — provided you can find one. Even if you do, there’s no guarantee of an empty spot. With a home EV charger, homeowners don’t need to worry about these obstacles. They can simply head to the garage and plug the car in for the power needed to get around for the day.

Provides Long-Term Cost Savings

It may seem unlikely that it would cost more to use public EV charging stations than to install one at your home. At first, maintaining a home EV charger will seem more expensive. However, many public charging stations are designed for fast charging, which can wear down batteries more quickly. With a home EV charging station, you can charge your vehicle overnight, during off-peak hours when fewer people are doing the same. Ultimately, installing a home charger can be costly upfront, but the long-term savings make it worth the investment.

Increases Home Value

EVs aren’t as widespread as gas-powered vehicles — yet. With society becoming more eco-conscious, the demand for home EV charging stations is likely to increase. When it’s time to sell, having an EV charger installed can make your home more desirable on the market.
