EV Charging at Home
EV Charging at Home Is Cost Effective
Charging your electric vehicle at home is the most convenient and cost-effective method. In Massachusetts, most homeowners are not penalized for electricity usage during peak hours or paying what is known as time of use rates. An EV charger installed at your home allows you to charge any time of day it is convenient for you, including overnight.
Reasons EV Owners Choose to Charge at Home
There are four popular reasons many homeowners elect to install EV chargers.
Access
With an EV charger installed for easy access at home, the system is ready when you are.
Cost
A home charger allows you to buy your electricity at your home electricity rate.
Battery Life
Studies have shown that continuous fast charging can slightly reduce battery life. Most home chargers are Level 1 or Level 2 systems, charging at a slower rate.
Security
Charging your EV at home reduces any concerns you may have at public locations in cities or locations you may see as higher risk.

Some EV Charging at Home Facts
$100s in Added Savings
Most buyers expect to save between $1,500 and $2,500 on average fuel costs when transitioning to EV over gas. In Massachusetts, you can add $200 or more to your savings by charging primarily at home. The more you drive, the more you save.
More Options
Charging at home gives you freedom to choose whether you want to charge at Level 1 or Level 2. Choosing Level 1 can save you more money up front, as much as $1,000. If your EV is used daily, overnight charging at Level 2 is a good option.
Save Valuable Time
With an EV charger installed in a convenient location at home, there is less need to plan your day around charger access. Rather than making a 30 minute or 1 hour stop to shop and charge, you can charge any time you are home.
