How do I install a car charging station at home?
I am tired of having to charge my car at a public charging station. Can you install a car charging station at home?

Installing a car charging station at your home is a great idea and will even increase the value of your property!
Due to the danger and technicalities, only an experienced electrician should install a charging station. Depending on where you live, you may need to apply for a permit or it could be illegal to do electrical work at your home without a license.
The good news is that you might not need a station at all! How much do you drive per day? If it is under 40 miles, then a regular outlet can keep your car significantly charged.
But if a charging station would work better for you, contact a local installer. They can visit your home to estimate the work and direct you toward the right charging station to suit your needs.
If you are worried about running out of power while driving, make sure to have a solid roadside assistance plan. If you’re looking for roadside assistance at a great price, try
