So how does this relate to your home?
First, obviously, if you’ve got an electric vehicle, you’ve got to charge it. The rapid chargers that are used to charge the EV require higher voltage and amperage than your standard breakers and outlets can provide, so your home will likely require some electrical upgrades.
That’s only the start. As you start charging your car, your electricity usage will go up, so it will likely result in higher electric bills. This could be an unpleasant surprise in areas with higher electric rates, tiered rates or “time-of-use” metering and rates.. |
