Building homes in Minnesota that are ready for the future is what we specialize in here at Platrin, and that includes considering how you get around. If you’re already driving electric or simply planning ahead, integrating EV charging during home construction or a retrofit is a smart, low-impact move.
Installing a dedicated high-voltage circuit in your garage during construction is simple, cost-effective, and clean. It’s much easier to add wiring before the drywall goes up than to retrofit it later, when cutting into finished walls can compromise both aesthetics and energy performance.
Whether or not you already own an electric vehicle, pre-wiring for EV charging is a practical investment that adds long-term value and flexibility. It’s a small detail that reflects forward-thinking design and eliminates future hassles for you or the next homeowner.
When your home is already built for efficiency, adding solar can do more than power your lights. Solar can help offset the energy needed to charge your electric vehicle. In a high-performance home with low baseline energy use, rooftop solar often generates enough electricity to cover both household needs and EV charging, making it easier to move toward true energy independence and carbon reduction.
Electric vehicles are becoming more common each year, and demand for home charging is rising with them. By planning for EV charging now, you’re aligning your home with the way transportation, and energy use, is evolving. It’s one more way to create a smarter, more sustainable home that works for the long haul.
Talk with the Paltrin team about how EV readiness fits into your whole-home energy strategy.
