Buying an electric vehicle is a great step toward the future, but charging it at home requires more than just a simple wall socket. While you technically “can” use a standard outlet, there are serious risks involved:
- Overheating: An EV charger demands a lot of energy for many consecutive hours. A domestic outlet is not designed for that kind of thermal stress.
- Charging speed: A professional charger (Wallbox) is up to 10 times faster than a conventional plug.
- Legal compliance: In many regions, regulations require specific protections to prevent a fault in the car from affecting the entire house.
Installing a charger isn’t just about pulling a cable. At Continuum Electric LLC, we carry out installations according to current regulations, ensuring that your vehicle’s charge is smart (so it charges when electricity is cheapest) and completely safe for your home.
