Installing an EV charging station on your Western Massachusetts property allows you to charge your electric vehicle at home or at your office without having to spend time and money utilizing public charging stations. Current Energy, located in Greenfield, MA offers EV charging station installation services in conjunction with solar installation in communities throughout the Pioneer Valley. EV charging stations enable clients to charge their electric vehicles at the time of day (or night) that is most convenient for them with solar energy.
Types of EV Charging Stations
Current Energy offers Level 2 single or three-phase EV chargers from SolarEdge and SPAN, for our clients in communities in the Pioneer Valley.
SolarEdge’s product is the world’s first system to combine a solar inverter with an EV charger, allowing clients to charge their vehicle using solar energy to maximize their savings. The charging system is also 25% faster than a standard Level 2 charger, charging the vehicle at 30 miles per hour. It also utilizes 40% less energy than a standard EV charger.
The SPAN Drive EV charger integrates with the SPAN Panel and offers 11 kilowatts of power. It is compatible with all electric vehicles, including Tesla, and it adds up to 41 miles of range per hour of charging.
Current Energy is also equipped to handle Vehicle to Home and Vehicle to Grid charging in both residential and commercial spaces.
For three-phase applications, our licensed electrical contractors and NABCEP accredited PV installation professionals design chargers that match the unique needs of the site to ensure that the infrastructure can support that level of power.
Benefits of Combining EV Charging with Solar
By pairing EV charging with a solar installation, you can charge your electric vehicle at no cost, aside from the initial installation fee. Charging your vehicle on your own solar-generated electricity essentially eliminates the driving cost. Plus, if you install battery storage for your solar energy, you can even charge your vehicle using solar at night and during cloudy weather.
For home and business owners in Western Massachusetts (Western MA), this is particularly beneficial. Western MA is actively transitioning towards sustainable and electric-powered transportation options, making EV charging infrastructure an essential part of the region’s future. Planning for EV charging with your solar design not only helps you save on transportation costs but also contributes to the region’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions and promote clean energy solutions, aligning with the sustainable goals of Western MA.
Even if you do not have an electric vehicle yet, you should consider planning for EV charging with your solar design to best prepare for an electric future.
