Customers choosing to have a professional electrician install their new Level 2 charger can choose among three different installation packages offered by a third-party service provider to select the one that best fits their installation needs. Custom installation services are also available via this provider. Installation packages begin at $695.

HomeStation customers will be able to use an Electrify America app for all their home and public charging needs. The HomeStation’s WiFi capabilities let users sync their product with the app – which can then be used to start and stop home charging sessions remotely, schedule future charging sessions, and view charging status and reminders. Switching back and forth between Electrify America’s public network of more than 2,600 DC fast chargers and the Level 2 HomeStation unit is said to be easy. It helps users to track of all their charging history in one app. Coming soon, HomeStation will also allow for integration with Amazon’s Alexa, so customers can use a voice assistant to communicate with the HomeStation.

Faster Charging Speeds

Backed by the nation’s largest public ultra-fast charging network, the HomeStation is the brand’s fastest home charger yet. With 9.6kW of available power at 40 amps, the HomeStation can charge 6.8x faster than a Level 1 charger. This means capable vehicles can add up to 33 miles of range per hour while charging on the HomeStation.

Cost Saving Options

HomeStation provides for flexible installation options that can save users money in the long run, it’s claimed. During installation, and with input from a licensed and qualified electrician, the amperage can be configured to deliver either 40, 32 or 16 amps to help avoid potentially expensive upgrades to the home’s electrical panel. In addition, the ability to schedule charging through the Electrify America mobile app may allow users to take advantage of lower energy costs during off-peak hours, where such utility rates are available.
