Most EV owners do more than 80 percent of their charging at home, and for good reason: overnight electricity rates are a fraction of public fast-charging prices. A standard Level 2 home charger adds roughly 25 to 40 miles of range per hour, which means nearly any commute can be recovered overnight. Installation typically runs between 500 and 2,000 dollars depending on your electrical panel, and many utilities offer rebates that cover a meaningful share of the cost. Before buying a charger, check your panel capacity, decide between a hardwired unit and a plug-in unit on a 240-volt outlet, and confirm whether your utility offers time-of-use rates that reward overnight charging.
