The Convenience
Homeowners with a charging station installed get into the habit of powering their cars just like their cellphones. Most EV drivers charge their cars at home overnight. Since homeowners won’t need their vehicles while sleeping, they can take advantage of this downtime, and their cars will be ready to go in the morning and at a full charge. You’ll also save much time in the morning by not needing to stop by a public charging station.
Save Money
During a road trip or when you’re out running errands, utilizing a public charging station saves you money compared to filling up a vehicle with gas. In March 2023, triple AAA stated that the average Maryland gas price was $3.30. On average, large cars hold about 15 gallons or more. Thus, filling up a large vehicle would cost close to $50. Then, you must factor in how long your commute takes and how often you drive.
For many people, it wouldn’t be hard to spend $200 a month on gas. However, Investopedia states that, on average, it costs between $10-$30 to charge a battery-powered from empty to almost full. You can look forward to saving money significantly by switching to an EV, even if it costs you the higher end of $30 to charge your EV at a public charging station.
Charging an EV monthly: $30×4=$120 a month
Filling up a car with gas monthly: $50×4= $200 a month
200-120=$80 savings each month
Charging an EV annually: $120×12= $1440
Filling up a car with gas annually: $200×12=2400
2400-1440=$960 savings each year
These are roundabout figures. How much you save depends on the type of car you drive and your lifestyle. Of course, these are roundabout figures. However, knowing that you could save $80 a month and close to $1,000 a year by making the switch is reason enough to consider EV charger installation.
These figures assume that you use public charging stations solely. However, Investopedia also reported that, on average, charging an EV at home adds anywhere between $30-$60 onto an electricity bill. Although, you have to factor in how much you’d be saving on gas and the fact there are home charging incentives.
For example, through BGE’s EVsmart Program, you might be eligible for a $50 annual incentive when you install a qualified Level 2 charger for your home and charge your car from 9 pm – 7 am. There are also tax rebates to consider.
Save the Planet
We saved the best reason to invest in EV charger installation in Ruxton for last. When a car doesn’t have a tailpipe, it doesn’t emit carbon greenhouse gases into the air. Why does this matter? You can help our world become a greener and cleaner place by purchasing a vehicle that doesn’t have a tailpipe.
Small doses of carbon greenhouse gases aren’t problematic. However, human activities (such as driving gas-fueled cars) have increased how much carbon greenhouse gases people are around. As a Ruxton business owner, you can also benefit from helping make the world a cleaner, greener place to live AND earn extra revenue by charging EV drivers a fee to power up their cars with a level 2 charging station or level 3 charging station to give EV drivers an even quicker charge.
