Convenient Charging Solutions Ease Transition to EV Ownership
Finding charging stations need no longer be a downside to electric vehicle ownership as more companies offer easy solutions.
So, the Porsche Taycan is here, and it is a beautiful ride. The fully electric Taycan offers the Porsche experience in a vehicle with great performance specs. Certainly, the demand for the Taycan proves that people are ready to embrace EVs. But for new EV owners, charging your ride can be an issue.
Electrify America now offers Level 2 electric vehicle home chargers, reinforcing the company’s commitment to making EV ownership as convenient as possible. Customers can purchase the Electrify America Electric Vehicle Home Charger on Amazon for $499.
The Electrify America Electric Vehicle Home Charger is compatible with all electric vehicles available in the North American market. Featuring a charging power of up to 7.6kW, that is about 6 times faster than the typical Level 1 charger provided to some new EV owners.
“At Electrify America, we are constantly innovating to meet the diverse needs of electric vehicle drivers and are excited to expand our product offering to help advance EV adoption,” said Nina Huesgen, Senior Manager, L2 Operations & Program Management at Electrify America. “We recognize that many of today’s EV drivers do more than 80 percent of their charging at home, and with the introduction of our L2 home chargers, Electrify America is providing consumers with a more convenient and reliable option that should help increase the appeal of EV ownership.”
The company plans to add a new home charging section within its mobile app, enabling users to manage their public and home charging sessions all in one place. In addition to tracking in-session charging, accessing a session summary and reviewing charge history, users who register the unit through the app will be able to monitor the charger’s status and track overall charging data.
Additional features of the Electrify America home charger include:
- Flexible installation options: For easy installation, the L2 home charger comes with a standard NEMA 14-50 supply power plug, compatible with the 240-volt outlets commonly found in households. The unit can also be hardwired by a licensed and qualified electrician and comes with a docking station that allows for wall-mounting.
- Indoors or outdoors: The home charger is equipped with a NEMA 3R enclosure, allowing it to be mounted inside or outside. A 24-foot long cable makes it easy to reach and plug into your car.
- Colored light that indicates charging status
- Technology of the future: The home charger is equipped with WiFi connectivity, providing customers with even more data about their home charging sessions and will enable utility demand response programs in the future.
- Three-year warranty, 24-hour support
- Easy installation
If you were tempted to go electric, this might be the right inspiration.
