Smart EV Charging
Lithium-ion batteries can store more energy for longer and have a significantly higher depth of discharge, which means that more of the battery can be used. Conversely, lead-acid batteries are nearly identical to the batteries in your automobile. While less expensive, they have a lower depth of discharge and a shorter operational life span, making them less effective and more costly in the long run. You can significantly reduce your reliance on the power grid when production drops or evening falls by storing the energy you generate. Further, solar batteries help shield you against power outages, including blackouts and brownouts. When these occur, and the grid fails, your solar batteries can provide the additional power you need to keep security alarms armed, lights operational, and appliances functional.
Electricity is usually cheaper at night, during off-peak hours. With a home EV charging station, you can charge your car overnight while you sleep. No more wasting time and money at public charging stations far from home in the middle of the day. Plus, there’s always a spot to charge your car at home! Slowly charging your car’s battery overnight is better for the battery’s health compared to frequently supercharging, which can degrade an EV battery at a faster rate. A home EV charging station will keep your car’s battery lasting longer over time.
