EV CHARGER INSTALLATION IN RALEIGH, NC

In order to understand the benefits of a home EV charging system, it is important to understand how the charging process works. The power that comes from your walls is AC power, or alternating current, while your car runs on DC power, or direct current. What that means is power from your walls needs to be inverted before it can be stored in your battery and used to operate your car. This is done by a piece of equipment known as an inverter.

Electric vehicles have a smaller inverter onboard to allow them to do the inverting on their own, but these inverters are typically small in order to shave costs and save weight. As a result, they have a fairly low capacity, and can only handle a small amount of current. As a result, a standard 110-volt charge can take a long time to complete—over 12 hours in some cases.

An EV charging station offers two great benefits: higher voltage and a larger inverter. Because the inverter isn’t in the car itself, it can be quite a bit larger and handle a lot more current, which speeds up the charging process. Likewise, with a higher voltage line feeding the charger system, charging becomes significantly safer, as it cuts the amount of current flowing through your electrical lines.
