One of the best parts of owning an EV is that you can have a fueling station in the convenience of your home. If you have access to home charging, that also means you can sidestep a lot of the commotion and confusion over the availability, quality, and creativity of public charging options.
Your decision points are pretty straightforward. Home charging is a choice between Level 1 and Level 2. L1 is simple. It doesn’t require special setup or come with a lot of frills. But if you decide charging at a rate of a few miles per hour just isn’t enough for you, the whole discussion shifts over to L2. At that point, you have a number of choices to make about the kind of charger you want and whether and how much to invest in electrical upgrades.
