Purchasing an electric vehicle charger for your home can range from $500-$1,000. If you do not have a garage to keep your car charger in, we recommend securing it. Here we are going to show you 3 options for securing your electric vehicle charger.
1.Screw It Into The Wall
You can screw the charger into the wall and the plug will be locked in a box so someone cannot unplug it. Sometimes the box will come with a padlock to lock it up.
2. Hide It Behind A Bush
Use what you already have! Whether it's a tree or a bush planted in front of the wall you are mounting your charger on! That is the best spot, this way it is not seen from the street. Some towns and cities do not allow residents to have their vehicle chargers be visible. Hiding it behind your bushes or trees is a great way to comply with those rules and still be able to charge your electric vehicle.
3. Building An Enclosure With A Roof
If you are handy, you can create a little home for your vehicle charger! If you’ve walked around your neighborhood and have seen the local free libraries. They are tiny homes with a post that hold books to promote a neighborhood book exchange. You can always take a plan that you see online and modify the specs for your charger.
