What is Residential Charging?
Residential charging refers to the practice of charging electric vehicles (EVs) at home using dedicated charging equipment. It typically involves Level 1 (120V) or Level 2 (240V) chargers, allowing EV owners to conveniently recharge their vehicles overnight or whenever parked. Residential charging provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for daily commuting, giving drivers control over their vehicle’s energy needs while supporting sustainable transportation.
Residential EV chargers can range from simple plug-in outlets to smart chargers with features like scheduling, energy monitoring, and integration with home energy systems. By adopting residential charging, EV owners benefit from convenience, safety, and efficiency, ensuring their vehicles are always ready for use.
