Home isn’t one-size-fits-all

Regardless of where you lay your head each night, your EV still needs a charge. Here are the top considerations for different types of homes and parking situations to get the right type of home EV charging for you.

Sophisticated charging
Single-family homes

For indoor garage use, ensure you have ample cable length and a convenient way to store the connector to prevent tripping. For outdoor parking, make sure your charger holds a type 4X rating for top-tier weather protection. Additionally, confirm that it’s either hardwired or equipped with proper outlet protection for NEMA 14-50 outlet versions. If your parking spot is farther from the house, consider a pedestal for easier access between your EV and the charger.

Cities
Condos & townhouses

Contacting your association might be necessary for EV charging installation. In shared spaces, choose a smart charger that gives you control over usage. When installing outdoors, make sure your charger holds a type 4X rating for top-tier weather protection.

Apartment living

When an association or property management company owns the lot, you’ll need to work with them to install EV charging. If you are parking on the street, it’s best to find nearby Level 2 public charging to charge as needed.

City dwellers

In shared spaces, choose a smart charger that gives you control over usage. When installing outdoors, make sure your charger holds a type 4X rating for top-tier weather protection and choose a high-quality enclosure material that can withstand the test of time and public abuse.

Rural retreats

Reliability and durability are crucial, requiring a type 4X type charger that can withstand the elements. Go for the essentials and ensure any smart charger will continue to work offline.

Curbside parking

Streetside parking? No problem. It’s easy to find nearby Level 2 and DC fast chargers to get charged up and ready to go.
