EV Charging

Call Anytime

Electric vehicle (EV) charging refers to the process of replenishing the energy stored in an electric vehicle’s battery by connecting it to a charging station or outlet. This is an essential aspect of owning and operating electric vehicles, as they rely solely on electricity for propulsion.

The availability and distribution of charging infrastructure vary by region, but many governments and organizations are investing in expanding EV charging networks to support the growing number of electric vehicles on the road. It’s crucial for EV owners to plan their charging needs and be aware of the types of chargers available to ensure they can charge their vehicles conveniently and efficiently.

Types of EV chargers, each with different charging speeds and applications:

Level 1 Charging: Level 1 charging is the slowest option and typically involves plugging your EV into a standard household electrical outlet using a basic charging cable. It's convenient for overnight charging but may take a long time to fully charge the battery, often requiring 8-20 hours.
Level 2 Charging: Level 2 chargers are faster and are commonly installed in homes, workplaces, and public charging stations. They use a 240-volt power source and can charge an EV much more quickly than Level 1, typically taking 4-8 hours for a full charge.
DC Fast Charging: DC fast chargers are high-power chargers commonly found at public charging stations along highways. They provide a substantial amount of electricity to an EV's battery in a short time, typically around 20-80% charge in 30-60 minutes, depending on the charger's power output and the vehicle's capacity.
Tesla Superchargers: Tesla has its network of high-speed Superchargers designed specifically for Tesla electric vehicles. These chargers can provide extremely fast charging for Tesla cars, often giving them a significant amount of range in a short time.

Tax Incentives

Yes, there are often tax incentives available for consumers who install EV Chargers, such as solar panels. These incentives can vary by county, state, or region and can include:

Federal Tax Credits
Business Tax Credits
State-Level Incentives
Utility Company Programs
Municipal and Local Incentives

Please remember that tax incentives and programs can change, and new ones may become available. It’s advisable to consult with the Missouri Department of Revenue or a tax professional who specializes in renewable energy tax incentives to get the most accurate and current information about the incentives and benefits that apply to your specific off-grid solution in Missouri.

Investing in an EV Charging should be a well-informed decision that takes into account your energy needs, location, financial considerations, and available incentives. When done right, it can lead to long-term savings, energy independence, and a positive contribution to a sustainable future.

Just had major storm in our town July 30th. Multiple tree limbs taking out multiple electric wires. Got service back from electric co late Aug 1. 3 days no power. If hadn't had the solar panels our freezer would have had spoiled meat...about $2000 worth. Solar energy services' panels worked great!

First, his bid included all the engineering, all the interface/permit process, etc. with the County agency and the local electric utility company. Derek and his staff were professional, tidy, polite, kind and very thorough. Great attention to detail. I was impressed with the level of electrical knowledge and experience. Ours was a complicated job as we had a Sol-Ark inverter with battery back up installed in addition to the solar panels. Ours is an older house so there were a few unexpected issues with our house electrical. His attention to those were seemless and resolved quickly and appropriately. He gave us a step by step tutorial on the system twice! After ALL of that, we were speechless when as he prepared to leave, he said, "If anything comes up that you don't know how to deal with..give me a call". This was very important to us as we know of people who chose solar contractors who would not stand by their work when issues arose. Thank you Solar Energy Services, LLC.!

I'm building a new home and Derek walked me through how best to prepare the space I plan to put solar panels in the future. During construction Derek's team ran conduit for me so it should be very quick and easy to add the panels. He was very knowledgeable, helpful and responsive.

Derek and his team were recommended by a friend, but I also saw they were recommended by Tesla for Wall Connector installations. From the first email and throughout the process, they were quick to respond and incredibly professional. I tend to overthink things and ask a ton of questions. They rolled with the questions like the professionals they are, and educated me along the way. The amount of time and attention they invested was way more than expected and I am blown away with the results. Please, look no further for a great company to partner with. You won't find better.
