Home charging is the dominant method for most EV owners because it is convenient and usually cheaper than public fast charging. A typical setup is a dedicated circuit and a certified Level 2 EVSE; cost depends on panel capacity, wiring distance, and whether a service upgrade is required. Your energy bill rises with added kWh, but cost per mile is typically lower than gasoline, especially with off-peak tariffs. Placement matters for safety and convenience: avoid trip hazards, minimize weather exposure, and ensure the cable reaches the charge port without strain. In apartments, focus on approvals, metering, and standardized installation rules.
