How to Make Your Home EV Charging Compatible

How to Make My Home EV Compatible in Hollywood

Maybe you think it's difficult. Maybe you've done your research and figured out how to make it happen in the most cost-effective way. Or maybe-just maybe, you realized you were overthinking the whole thing. And it's not as hard as you thought. Making your home EV-compatible in Hollywood, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Sherman Oaks, or Glendale is the easiest thing you can do. In fact, if your home was built at any time in the 20th century, just consider yourself ahead of the game. Because your home is already EV-compatible. As is.

Compatibility is Standard

You can power most Toyota EVs and plug-in Hybrids with a standard 120-volt outlet. These are the outlets you'll find scattered throughout your home. The ones you use to plug in your phone, microwave, curling irons, and any other small item. As long as it has 120 volts, you've got an EV charger. The only downfall is the charging time. Using the standard home charger, it will take nearly three days to replenish your battery from 0 to 100. So, if you've got the time, then you've got a winner with the standard outlet.

But for drivers who don't have a few days to let their vehicle recharge, you'll want to opt for the 240-V Level 2 charger. This setup requires professional installation and can replenish your battery in as little as ten hours. And the hardest part about this setup is deciding which electrician you want to complete the job. Or deciding where you want to place your Level 2 charger. Most people choose their garage or somewhere on their driveway. But, as always, the choice is yours.
