If you’ve just bought an electric vehicle for the first time, the reality of your new energy framework may feel a little intimidating. The convenience of charging your EV at home is undeniable. However, it does require installing a reliable EV charger and connecting it to your home’s power grid. If you’ve never done something like this before, it’s understandable to be a little uncertain about any potential effects it’ll have on your overall home energy usage. If you’re looking for a safe, reliable, and easy-to-use EV charger – even for beginners – Elecq Home is the ideal solution.

Since the brand’s founding, Elecq’s mission statement has been “Mission to Zero-Emission,” a pursuit of high-efficiency, high-standard smart charging solutions. Those pursuits, along with pledges of Customer First and Faster Evolution fuel the brand’s pursuit of not just the next great smart charging device, but one that is user-friendly and durable. The Elecq Home is the result of this tireless pursuit, the brand’s premier residential charging station that boasts both muscle and flexibility.

You can get an Elecq Home for yourself on Amazon, with more information available on the Elecq website, us.elecq.com.

The Elecq Home charges fast and smart

The Elecq Home is designed to be a true all-in-one smart EV charging solution, ready to power any compatible EV. It delivers up to 50 amps of power, which can add about 48 miles of range per hour of charging. EVs aren’t one-size-fits-all, but the Elecq Home is — thanks to its SAE J1772 support, the Elecq Home can be used to safely charge up any EV manufactured in North America. Notably, Tesla vehicles are also compatible with a special available adapter.

If you were concerned at all about changes to your energy usage brought about by the Elecq Home, then worry not: the Elecq Home features smart energy management backed by dynamic load balancing. The charger carefully balances its use of electricity from your grid against any utilities or appliances active in your home. The device draws only the required amount of power, preventing electrical overloads and cutting down on unnecessary electricity consumption, thereby saving on energy costs. For users with solar panels installed, the Elecq Home also has three special solar modes to optimize your power draw. You can set the Elecq Home to draw exclusively from your panels, draw from both panels and the grid while prioritizing the former, or draw freely from both sources. For an extra increase in efficiency, you can pair the Elecq Home with the Elecq Power Monitor, which both optimizes power draw and saves you some cash on expensive meter and panel upgrades.

The Elecq Home is easy to use and highly resilient

If you’re worried about leaving the Elecq on the outside of your home, exposed to the elements, you should know that this charger is no pushover. Thanks to Elecq’s comprehensive safety and resilience testing, the Elecq Home is both shored up against damage and certified safe. The Elecq Home is in full compliance with safety standards across the board, including CSA, UL, Energy Star, FCC & IC, and CA65. Not only that, but the Elecq Home is also built tough, able to withstand extreme weather events, temperatures ranging from -40°F to 122°F, and even sudden physical impacts up to IK10, the highest level of impact damage anything can be subject to in standard testing. Naturally, the Elecq Home is also shored up against electrical disturbances thanks to its 10kV/5kA protection.

While this device may sound larger than life, it’s exceptionally easy to install and use. Thanks to its modular snap-in design, it takes 50% less time to install in a home compared to similar devices, which means the electrician won’t have to bill you for as much work time. The charge core can also be replaced without any professional assistance. To control the Elecq Home, just use the Elecq app, which is fully compatible with 2.4G and 5GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, to schedule charging, check your energy usage, and remotely install firmware updates.
