Can you charge an EV overnight at home?

Overnight home charging is the most convenient and cost-effective way to keep your EV ready for daily driving.

Setup Requirements

Level 2 charging (240V) is ideal for overnight charging. Requires dedicated 240V outlet or wall-mounted charging station. Professional installation recommended.

Charging Strategy

Most EVs can fully charge overnight (6-12 hours) with Level 2. Set charging schedules to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates, typically 11 PM - 6 AM.

Cost Benefits

Home charging costs $0.04-0.15 per mile vs $0.10-0.30 for public charging. Time-of-use rates can reduce costs by 50% during off-peak hours.
