The Growing Concerns of Home EV Charging for Electric Car Owners.
A new J.D. Power study found that overall satisfaction with home charging experiences for EV owners has declined 12 points since last year, with a major factor being the inflationary rise in electricity prices. This could pose a problem for the EV market, as home charging has often been held up as a solution to daily range-anxiety issues. The study found little awareness for cost-saving tricks, such as scheduling charging at the most affordable times of day. Increasing awareness of local utility company programs for home charging is key to improving the EV home charging experience and supporting greater EV adoption.
