Will you be purchasing an e-vehicle in the near future? 

One of the things that you will need is a charging device.  Just as there are several different models and types of e-vehicles on the market there are also several different charging options.  Most 240V hard-wired EV chargers can be installed on off-peak and may qualify for a rebate.  Call Polk-Burnett 800-421-0283 ext. 595 for details.

Is an e-vehicle right for you?

Just as there are different types of electric vehicles, there are 3 different types of chargers, differentiated by how fast they can charge the battery.

Electric Vehicle Basics

The following will vary on actual car used, charging station used, temperature, and time of charge:

Generally for every 1 kWh of electricity you will get a charge of 3 miles.

Example:   6 kW 240V charger - 1 hour of electricity use will get you a charge of approximately 18 miles.

The technology is similar to Ground Fault Circuit Interruptors (GFCI) found inside your home to protect you from electrical shocks.

Polk-Burnett allows you to put your hard-wired 240V e-vehicle charger on off-peak at the dual fuel rate if applicable.   Charging times will vary depending on the off-peak setup.  Call Polk-Burnett 800-421-0283 ext. 595 to see if your charger qualifies for off-peak and if it is feasible for your individual use.
