Electric Car Chargers

Although an electric vehicle is a substantial investment, it also serves as an eco-friendly investment in our future. While you can use car charging stations on longer trips, you will want an electric charger for your home to refresh your battery on your own schedule. Find the best electric vehicle charger for your needs at Best Buy.

There are three types of EV chargers:

• Level 1 chargers: The slowest charger, Level 1 chargers use a 120V outlet. They charge roughly four miles of range per hour, which make them a good choice for overnight charging and short rides.
• Level 2 chargers: These fast EV chargers use a 240V outlet. Level 2 chargers can charge anywhere from 12 to 30 miles of range per hour. If you plan on taking longer trips in your electric vehicle, consider a Level 2 charger.
• Level 3 chargers: The fastest level of charger. These are only found in commercial charging stations.

We carry Level 1 and Level 2 chargers, along with an array of charging accessories, such as adapters, cables and more. Many models allow you to mount your electric charger directly onto your garage wall. You can also safely keep charging accessories in a tool chest with your tools, or in other protective garage storage. You can find other automotive accessories at Best Buy, such as jump starters if you have a non-electric vehicle in addition to your EV.

Switching from gas to electric vehicles is a great way to practice sustainable living. Even though EVs need electricity to charge, they produce fewer emissions and can help you reduce your carbon footprint. An EV is not the only way to go electric and help the environment, however. For shorter trips, take a look at other forms of electric transportation, such as electric scooters, bikes, mopeds and hoverboards.

You can also expand your eco-friendly initiatives with devices inside your home. Best Buy offers a wide selection of ENERGY STAR certified products and household appliances that can help you reduce energy. You can also harvest sustainable energy straight from the source with solar panels and batteries. The solar energy you collect can go straight to your electric car charger for home so you can keep your energy bills low and your sustainability high.
