Range Anxiety" is the word that keeps a lot of New Jersey drivers from switching to electric. It's that awful feeling in your stomach when the battery icon turns red and you don't know where the next plug is. You type "ev charger station near me" into Google and hope that the closest one isn't 10 miles away or broken. We at Sperry Electrical Services have learnt that better infrastructure, not a bigger battery, is the answer to range anxiety. In particular, infrastructure right where you sleep. The best way to get rid of the stress of owning an electric vehicle is to install a charging station at home. The "Full Tank" Psychology What if magic elves came to fill up your petrol car every night while you slept? You would never have to stop at a petrol station again on your way to work. You would have the most range every single day. This is what home charging is really like. When you rely on public infrastructure, you think in terms of scarcity. You always check the gauge to see if you have enough to get to the store and back. You think you have enough when you have a charger installed in your garage by Sperry Electric. You can drive more than 250 miles before you have to leave the house every morning. The Truth About Driving in New Jersey We drive a lot in New Jersey. We go to work in New York City, spend weekends "down the shore," and run errands in the suburbs. • Weather in the winter: Cold weather can make EVs work less well by 20–30%. If you depend on public charging, a cold snap could leave you stuck. You can "pre-condition" the car with a home charger by using wall power to warm up the battery and cabin before you unplug it. This keeps your range. • The Commute: The average round-trip commute can be done on a single charge. You get home with a lot of extra time if you start full. You only need to look for a "charger near me" on rare, long-distance trips. You Control Reliability Charging networks for public use are getting better, but they are still not very reliable. Researchers found that about 20% to 25% of public chargers are broken at any given time. You are in charge of keeping the charger in good shape when you own it. You fix it if it breaks (which doesn't happen very often with good home units). You don't have to rely on a network operator. How Sperry Electric Can Help We make sure your home is set up well enough to meet your daily needs. • Placement: We put the charger where it's easiest for you to reach your charging port, so plugging it in becomes a quick habit instead of a chore. • Power: We make sure you get the fastest charging speed your car can handle (usually up to 11.5 kW for home charging), which cuts down on the time it takes to get back to 100%. Don't let the fear of running out of power stop you from enjoying the savings and performance of an electric car. You won't have to worry about range anymore if you have Sperry Electrical Services install your station.
