Electric vehicles are the next great step in transportation technology, with significant benefits for the environment and in the efficiency of your own transportation. The issue of ensuring that a suitable power source is available whenever you need it can be the biggest drawback to electric vehicle ownership.
This means that access to a reliable charging station can ensure that your vehicle will be able to fill all of your transportation needs without having to sacrifice convenience. With an effective and efficient home energy charging station, you can ensure that your electric vehicle is properly charged for the full day ahead. This can even significantly decrease the cost of running your vehicle, as the average cost of running an electric car for a year in Ontario is $300. There are 4 different levels of electric vehicle charging stations so that one can be specifically selected to suit the capabilities of your home.
On average, a fully electric vehicle will take 4-8 hours to reach 100% charged from empty on a level 2 charging station.
