Never Go to a Gas Station Again

The rumors are true – electric vehicles can be plugged into a simple household outlet and don’t require any special installation.

EV Charging at Home

Electric vehicles do not require gasoline and can be charged at home with a standard 120 volt wall outlet. Also known as Level 1 charging, this is a great solution for overnight charging at home and does not require installation of additional charging equipment.

If you need a faster charge between 4-6 hours, a 240 volt Level 2 charger can be installed but requires installation of additional charging equipment by a qualified electrician or installer. Silicon Valley Power offers an online Marketplace where residential customers can shop for electric vehicle chargers, connected home devices and more!
