This home car charging station needs a correct installation for your safety and the safety and efficiency of your electric vehicle.

Some electric vehicles now have the mileage of 200 miles, and they take longer to charge than the others with typical mileage and charging times. The higher mileage range electric vehicles seldom use all of their charges in a single day. Typically, you are just topping off the battery and not starting from zero. This can save you in charging time and energy.
Consider these facts as you develop your charging habits and evaluate your Glendale residential electric car charging station needs:
- Driving range, habits, and routine
- Glendale Az area commutes
- Availability of charging stations along your commute
- Is adding a car charging station at home going to add an appreciated convenience, meet a need or add real value to your home’s resale value?
The electrician will visit and discuss the following items with you before providing you with an estimate for your Glendale residential electric car charging station:
- Length of charging cable
- The location of the home charging station
- Vehicle parking location

This does add to the installation costs; however, you’ll want the convenience of being able to charge your electric vehicle easily since you’ll most likely charge it each night.
An electrician will install a 240-volt outlet which is perfect for people who drive longer distances, have no time to wait on a charge for an extended period, or have no opportunity to recharge their electric vehicle during the day. A 240-volt outlet will charge faster. Charging times are cut by more than 50% when using a 240-volt outlet residential electric car charging station.
