Charging Your EV At Home in Brockton, MA

Owning an electric vehicle can seem daunting, but you can Count on Copeland to provide you with the information you need to feel comfortable driving your efficient EV. You can charge your EV at public charging stations like those near Westgate Mall or in the heart of downtown. But you can also power up your vehicle's battery from the comfort of your own home!

Charging level options

Before you have anything installed, it's important to understand the different types of charging levels that exist. Public stations typically offer Level 2 or DC Fast Charging that offers a quick boost so you can get on your way. But most home chargers are either Level 1 or Level 2.

  • Level 1: This is typically ideal for getting a quick boost after short trips, which is great for people who work from home or don't drive much.
  1. These can often deliver 1-4 miles of range per hour of charging.[1]
  • Level 2: For overnight charging and those who have long commutes or take extended road trips, this option is ideal.
  1. In just an hour, you could charge your vehicle up to 58 miles of range.[1]

After you decide which level of charging is best for you, it then comes down to the type of home EV charger that you get installed. 

How to choose the right charger

General Motors offers a variety of EV home chargers that you can choose from. Whether you want a simple Level 1 dual-level cord set or the powerful GM PowerUp+ Level 2 charger, you'll find exactly what you need that fits your budget on the Chevrolet Parts website.
 

Easy home installation

Most Level 2 wall chargers require professional installation because they need to be hardwired into your home or installed like a 240-volt appliance-like circuit. Chevy works with Qmerit - North America's most trusted installer for EV chargers - to get your home charger set up and running. Once you've chosen the charger you want, you'll fill out an online installation form and follow the subsequent instructions to get an appointment installation scheduled. It's as easy as that!
