When it comes to buying a new Hyundai, the last thing that most people probably think about is how to prepare their East Moline home for it. While EVs have many benefits — among them, a potential reduction in your carbon footprint and lower maintenance costs than most gasoline cars — one aspect of them that requires a bit of preparation is taking delivery of them. Namely, when you buy a new EV, you want to make sure that your home is ready to charge it. While there are electric vehicle charging stations in the Rock Island area, an electric vehicle home charger will still probably be your primary method of EV charging for the foreseeable future, anyway. With that said, let’s delve into five easy steps you can take to prepare your house for a new Hyundai Ioniq 5 or 6!
If you haven’t already researched types of electric vehicle charging stations, now is a good time to start. As a refresher, most electric vehicle home charger systems fall into Level 1 or Level 2. Here’s more information:
If you haven’t cleaned out or organized your Milan garage, now is the time to do that! Have your home ready for an electric vehicle before you take delivery! You may wish to clean out clutter first if your garage has been used as a storage space for a long time.
The power panel in your Moline home distributes electricity throughout the building. It should be rated for a maximum amount of current flow measured in Amperes. Most new homes come with a 100 Amp power panel, but there should be an amperage rating printed on your main circuit breaker.
Next, you’ll want to get a handle on how much electrical energy you consistently use in your house by performing a self-assessment of your electricity use before you install an electric vehicle home charger station. You do not want to overload your electric distribution panel when plugging in your electric vehicle charging batteries.
Next, hire an electrician. You can discuss any concerns you have about your power consumption and adding EV charging. You can also have them install a dedicated 240-volt plug or add a hardwired circuit back to the power panel. Usually, this costs a couple of hundred dollars, but could be up to $1,000 or $3,000 if it’s found that your power panel is not sufficient as-is and requires upgrading.
If you haven’t already researched and purchased an EV charger at this point, it would be the time to do so and have it professionally installed by the electrician of your choice.
