Should Every Modern Renovation Include a Home EV Charging Station?
With electric vehicles (EVs) becoming more popular, many homeowners are asking if installing a home charging station should be part of every modern renovation.
Why it makes sense:
Future-proofing: EV ownership is growing, and having a charger adds long-term value.
Convenience: Charging at home is cheaper and easier than relying on public stations.
Resale boost: Homes with EV chargers are more attractive to eco-conscious buyers.
Why it might not be necessary (yet):
Cost: Installing a charger can be expensive, especially if wiring upgrades are needed.
Not everyone drives an EV: If you or future buyers don’t own one, it may go unused.
Tech changes: EV charging standards are still evolving.
Bottom line: A home EV charging station is a smart addition if you own (or plan to own) an electric car, and it’s a good way to future-proof your home. But for now, it’s still optional not essential
