Electric Vehicles are one of the fastest growing markets in the world. With gas prices rising, purchasing an electric vehicle is almost a no-brainer, and you can save thousands of dollars a year. As EV adoption increases, charging infrastructure in various locations becomes crucial. It is an investment because the vehicle pays itself off in fuel savings, but where do you charge them?
Many homes or businesses do not have electrical vehicle charging stations yet so at CSK we are here to offer installation services to residential and commercial customers.
At CSK Electric, we understand the significant advantages of installing an EV charger at your property. Our experience has shown that this addition offers numerous benefits for electric vehicle owners.
The convenience of home charging cannot be overstated. With your own charging station, you eliminate the need to search for public charging options. You can ensure your vehicle is fully charged every morning, ready for your daily commute. Charging at night allows you to take advantage of lower electricity costs during off-peak hours, avoiding peak pricing and waking up to a full battery.
We’ve observed that properties equipped with EV chargers often see an increase in value. This modern upgrade appeals to environmentally conscious buyers and represents a forward-thinking home improvement.
By facilitating EV charging at home, we help you reduce your carbon emissions. This contribution to cleaner air aligns with broader environmental goals and sustainable living practices.
Our team can guide you through available tax incentives for EV charger installation. These financial benefits can help offset the initial costs, making the investment more attractive.
Residential electric vehicle chargers can be a simple addition to your home. They allow you to get a full charge in under 4 hours and also add value to your home! It is important to hire a certified electrician to ensure your charger's safe and proper installation.
You can choose from many different types of chargers, whether it be a standard 50A plug-in charger a Tesla Charger or smart wifi chargers that you can monitor remotely. You can also charge plug-in hybrids using Level 1 charging, which is sufficient for overnight charging, or use a Level 2 charger to charge in 4-8 hours fully. Electric vehicle charging stations can be a simple installation, but sometimes you just don’t have a large enough electrical service to provide a new charger. with new technology, there are options!
We offer the installation of a load management device that monitors your electrical demand and allows you to charge your vehicle when there is not much electrical being used in the home. Before installation, it is crucial to assess the electrical system to ensure it can handle the new charger.
Commercial spaces are one of the most needed spaces for electric vehicle chargers. Level 3 chargers, also known as fast chargers, use a direct current connection to an electrical system and can charge an electric vehicle in 1-4 hours, or as quick as 15 minutes for a plug-in hybrid. These fast chargers are more commonly found in commercial spaces and are open for use to any electric vehicle owner.
EV chargers are also becoming available at gas stations to cater to the growing number of electric vehicles.
We often see the electrical service is oversized and does not have the capacity to add chargers, but the question is how many chargers and how do you allocate the funds to charge your vehicle? For EV drivers, charging during off-peak hours can take advantage of lower electricity costs, and the installation of Level 2 charging stations at home is common. This infrastructure is essential for a sustainable future in driving.
CSK Electric offers a consultation service to work alongside BC Hydro to assess your property, tell you exactly how many chargers you can install, and educate you on how to appropriately charge out your chargers to progressively pay off the installation.
