Electric vehicles have a great advantage over their internal combustion counterparts: They can be charged at home.
A Level 2 home charger employs a 240-volt outlet — similar to what an electric dryer uses — and can add up to 30 miles of range per hour of charging. Charging an EV overnight ensures sufficient range for the next day. You can wake up ready to roll, without ever having to visit a gas station.
Home charging also takes advantage of the stable price of electricity. No more gas-pump surprises at the unpredictable and wildly fluctuating cost of gasoline.
Although not everyone may have the ability to charge at home, electric cars remain convenient, affordable and safe. It's like they say, home is where the car is.
