In recent years, electric mobility has gained ground and more and more electric vehicle owners are choosing to install charging points at home to <\/span>avoid having to rely on public charging stations<\/b>, which are not always available and do not always work optimally.<\/span><\/p>\n

But not knowing for sure how much it costs to put a charging point at home is something that generates rejection in many <\/span>owners of an electric vehicle<\/b>. This, together with the fact that a number of requirements must be met in order to install a charging point at home, means that there are still those who doubt the advantages of having their own charging station.<\/span><\/p>\n

The most important thing is to be advised by a professional team to take care of the installation of the charging point for the electric car at home. The installation is complex and it is not simply a matter of connecting to the power supply and that’s it: <\/span>a study must be carried<\/b> out<\/b> to ensure that it works properly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Myths about home charging points<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are several myths surrounding the installation of a charging point at home, and to avoid basing the decision of whether or not to install it on <\/span>myths that are unfounded<\/b>, we are going to point out the most common ones so that they are discarded once and for all.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most recurrent myths is that its installation is extremely expensive. It is true that it is a powerful investment, but it is more than amortized over time. Therefore, those who wonder how much it costs to install a charging point at home and fear that the economic outlay will be very high, should at least ask for an estimate to <\/span>check to what extent this statement is true<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

It should also be borne in mind that the cost of electricity is less volatile than the price of fossil fuels, and that there are subsidies to encourage the <\/span>installation of these charging stations<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another common myth is that the installation of a charging point for an electric car at home can only be carried out in new or recently renovated homes, which is totally false. What is necessary is to check that everything is in order in the <\/span>installation to be able to carry out the set-up<\/b> and avoid overloads or problems of a deficient installation.<\/span><\/p>\n

For that reason, it is necessary to delegate to a <\/span>professional team <\/b>the study of the requirements to install a recharging point at home.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are also many myths about the installation of the <\/span>charging point<\/b> for the electric car at home. The most recurrent is the one that claims that the works required are invasive and complex. Nothing could be further from the truth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A specialized team knows where to locate the <\/span>charging base<\/b>, how to carry out the study of the installation and how to prepare its set-up without carrying out invasive works.<\/span><\/p>\n

Safety is a frequent concern when talking about electrical installations in the home. However, home vehicle charging points are designed according to strict international quality and safety standards, so the myths that they are <\/span>not safe are unfounded<\/b>. If the installation is carried out properly, they are a safe and reliable system for charging the car.<\/span><\/p>\n

As installing a charging point at home is something that requires <\/span>professional supervision<\/b>, it is best in any case to delegate to a professional team with experience in the installation of charging points for electric cars at home, and thus leave behind the myths that may be conditioning the option of enjoying the best charging experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the advantages of installing a home charging point?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"There are many reasons to charge your electric car at home, as we tell you in our section dedicated to <\/span>EV chargers for home<\/b><\/a>, but let’s take a look at the main advantages of having a smart charging station at your disposal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Convenience and accessibility<\/span><\/h3>\n

The main advantage of installing a charger at home is convenience. There is no need to look for charging stations in the city or <\/span>depend on the availability of public charging points<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a device installed at home, charging can be done at night or at any other time when the vehicle is not in use. This solution eliminates the need to plan <\/span>additional routes<\/b> or trips to charge the car.<\/span><\/p>\n

Long-term financial savings<\/span><\/h3>\n

Although the initial investment may raise concerns, the savings compared to the use of fossil fuels are significant. In addition, by being able to <\/span>control the charging schedule<\/b>, electricity can be used at off-peak times.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over time, the difference in energy costs translates into significant savings. In addition, many governments offer incentives and subsidies to <\/span>encourage the transition to electric mobility<\/b>, which can further reduce the cost of installation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Contribution to the environment<\/span><\/h3>\n

Electric mobility represents a step forward in the fight against climate change. By installing a charging point at home, it <\/span>encourages<\/b> the use of cleaner energies and reduces dependence on fossil fuels, thus helping to reduce polluting emissions and boost the development of sustainable technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Increasing the value of the property<\/span><\/h3>\n

Having a modern and <\/span>sustainable infrastructure<\/b> can increase the value of a property.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a real estate market that gives more and more importance to ecological solutions, having a recharging point at home can be a <\/span>differentiating element<\/b> when selling or renting a property.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
