A short checklist to run through before buying — covering the details that are easy to overlook until after the purchase.
- Confirm your vehicle’s onboard charger rating so you don’t overspend on unusable amperage
- Check your electrical panel’s spare capacity with a licensed electrician
- Decide between hardwired and plug-in installation based on flexibility needs
- Check for local utility rebates before buying, since many regions subsidize home EV charger installation
