Home Charging - Best Practices
All SSI EV owners are encouraged to install a level 2 charger in their home. Charging at level 2 rate is much better for the life of your EV battery (the world works at 220 volts - 110 in North America is a weird oddity). Your EV should charge about 4 times faster than using a wall plug.
Yes, there are free chargers on SSI, but relying on them for your charging needs is not kind.
TIP: If you intend to sell your home, or are a renter, a possibility is to install a 220 socket (like a dryer plug) and purchase a charger that comes with a plug (looks like a dryer plug). Then, when you leave the location, you can take your level 2 charger with you.
