Market Shift to EVs and Your Home: Best Way to Charge an EV
The best way to charge an electric vehicle (EV) at home is with a solar battery.
America’s EV market is expanding, with all major manufacturers investing in either pure EVs or hybrid technologies. Ford is one of the latest to take steps towards electrification, with the continued development of its Long Beach Electric Vehicle Development Center. Ford expects that it will reach a breakeven point on its EV investment in 2029.
If manufacturers are pushing ahead with EVs, what does that mean for you and your home? Affordable EV charging stations are ubiquitous throughout the states, but charging an EV at home could be more convenient and more affordable with the right technology.
Charging an EV From a Battery Energy Storage System at Home
Solar battery backup systems like the Tesla Powerwall are the ideal solution for charging an EV at home.
- Long Island solar panels on your rooftop can power your home and charge a battery energy storage system.
- You will enjoy reduced energy costs as you consume less from the grid.
- You can store energy during the day and charge an EV at night.
- When you charge an EV from solar panels and a battery system, you effectively do it for free.
Even though there’s an upfront cost for solar panels and a battery backup system, that cost is typically recovered within the first 8 – 10 years. On Long Island, solar homes save money because their PSEG bill shrinks. Solar powers the home during the day, the battery stores energy, and the only energy taken from the grid is in the evening or during peak demand.
Solar panels can last for 25+ years. After the initial payback period, all the savings, like those from charging an EV, go directly into your pocket.
