EV Charging Installation

Electric vehicle recharging in Raleigh

Why charge your Electric Vehicle at Home?

EV charging at home is a lot more convenient than trying to find a public charging station and waiting for the battery to receive a sufficient charge. Some home EV chargers even allow you to schedule charging to ensure your EV is fully charged by the time you have to hit the road. Also, EV charging at home is typically less expensive than public charging, and electricity rates are often cheaper at night when most home charging happens.

At Raleigh Electric, we are trained to install all EV chargers. Give us a call and we will help you determine what will meet your needs.

At the moment, Duke Energy is providing their customers a rebate for this installation.  Give us a call to schedule.

Raleigh area Commercial Parking EV Charging

With EV ownership expected to soar, making up 40% of new vehicle sales by 2030, now is the perfect time to prepare your property for the future.

Apartment Complex owners: We help apartment owners attract tenants with electric vehicles by offering EV charging solutions. Installing charging stations can increase your property’s appeal and boost income. 

Hotels: You can boost your revenue by offering EV chargers in your parking lot.
Many hotels charge a fee for using their EV charging stations, which can generate additional income. Additionally, guests who stay at hotels specifically for their charging facilities are likely to spend more money on other amenities and services, which can further boost revenue.

Office buildings, commercial stores, and City/Town parking lots: Compared to the number of electric drivers in the area, there are very few EV charging stations. Installing EV chargers helps your building meet the growing demand for electric vehicle infrastructure. It also boosts tenant and visitor satisfaction and can generate extra revenue through charging fees. 

Reviews

Raleigh Electric saved us from a potential house fire!

My wife and I noticed that our car’s electric vehicle wasn’t charging fully. We called Raleigh Electric to investigate. (They did not install the EV outlet charger originally). The Raleigh Electric technician realized that the EV outlet was installed incorrectly – with the incorrect gauge wire. I am so glad we called Raleigh Electric! Using the wrong wire for EV charging can cause an electric fire! We are very grateful for Raleigh Electrics expertise.  My mother-in-law just bought an electric vehicle and I am going to make sure she uses Raleigh Electric!

Frequently Asked Questions about EV charging

While it might be tempting to install an EV charger yourself, I highly recommend leaving it to a professional. EV chargers require a different voltage than most appliances, and improper installation can lead to safety hazards or damage to your homes’ electrical system. At Raleigh Electric, we ensure that your charger is installed correctly, safely, and up to code, so you can charge your vehicle with peace of mind.

The U.S. federal government offers incentives for installing an EV charger at home.

  1. Federal Incentives: The federal government provides a tax credit for installing EV chargers, known as the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit. This credit can cover 30% of the cost of the charger and installation, up to a maximum of $1,000 for residential installations.

  2. North Carolina Incentives: While North Carolina currently does not have statewide rebates specifically for residential EV charger installations, certain local utilities and programs may offer rebates or incentives. For example, Duke Energy is offering rebates for EV charger (2024) installations in the past, and other regional programs may provide support depending on your location.

It’s always a good idea to check current programs or consult with your tax advisor to make sure you’re taking advantage of the latest incentives. At Raleigh Electric, we stay informed about available rebates and can guide you through the process to ensure you maximize your savings.

Yes, it’s safe to charge your EV in the rain or extreme weather conditions as long as your charging station is properly installed and meets safety standards. EV chargers are designed to be weather-resistant and undergo rigorous testing to ensure they can handle various weather conditions, including rain, snow, and high humidity.

At Raleigh Electric, we make sure your EV charger is installed correctly, either in your garage or outdoors, and that all connections are secure and up to code. This way, you can charge your vehicle with confidence, no matter the weather.

Installing an EV charger will increase your home’s electricity usage, but the impact on your bill depends on how often and how much you charge your vehicle. On average, charging an electric vehicle at home is still more cost-effective than fueling a gasoline car. You can also manage costs by charging during off-peak hours when electricity rates are lower, which many utility companies offer.

At Raleigh Electric, we can help you understand your home’s energy consumption and provide tips on how to optimize your EV charging to minimize the impact on your bill.
