As electric vehicles (EVs) become more common, the need for reliable, convenient home charging stations is growing rapidly. For residents of Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, and all of Southeastern Wisconsin, installing a home EV charger is no longer a luxury—it’s a smart investment that provides long-term financial and lifestyle benefits. At Armeni Painting, Electrical and Flooring, we specialize in seamless EV charger installations and help homeowners power the future of transportation, right from their own garage.



Why Install a Home EV Charger?

Charging at home offers many benefits, including:

- Convenience: Charge overnight and avoid public stations

- Cost Savings: Access cheaper energy rates at home

- Increased Property Value: Appeal to eco-conscious buyers

- Rental Income: Monetize your charger with peer-to-peer sharing apps


Why More Homeowners Are Installing EV Chargers: Savings, Convenience, and Value


Cost Savings

Charging your EV at home is significantly more economical than relying on public charging stations or traditional gas-powered vehicles. While DC fast chargers can cost around $0.45–$0.55 per kWh, home charging—especially during off-peak hours—typically costs just $0.12–$0.14 per kWh in Wisconsin.

Let’s look at the math for an average driver in Wisconsin covering 500 miles per month:

  • Most EVs consume about 30 kWh per 100 miles.

  • For 500 miles, that’s 150 kWh of electricity monthly.

  • At home charging rates of $0.13/kWh, your monthly cost is around $19.50.

Now compare that to a gasoline vehicle that averages 25 MPG:

500 miles ÷ 25 MPG = 20 gallons of gas


At $3.10/gallon, that’s $62.00 per month in fuel costs.

That means EV drivers can save about $42.50 per month, or $510 annually, just on fuel alone.


And that’s before factoring in:

We Energies’ EV Pilot Program that offers off-peak rates for even greater savings

The federal EV charger tax credit (up to 30% or $1,000 for residential installs)

Long-term savings on maintenance, since EVs don’t require oil changes, spark plugs, or emissions checks


Even for modest drivers, the financial benefits of charging at home can add up fast—making EV ownership not just eco-friendly, but also wallet-friendly.


Convenience

Forget driving around town or waiting at a busy public charging station. With a Level 2 charger installed at home, you simply plug in overnight and wake up to a fully charged vehicle. It’s always ready when you are—no extra trips or detours required.


Home Value Boost

Homes with EV-ready features are becoming increasingly desirable. Many buyers are searching specifically for properties that offer sustainable upgrades like EV charging. In real estate listings, homes with Level 2 chargers or 240V outlets are labeled as “EV-friendly,” and this feature can help your property stand out in competitive markets like Milwaukee and Kenosha.


Home Value Boost: Why an EV Charger Can Set Your Property Apart

As electric vehicle (EV) adoption grows, Wisconsin homeowners have a new tool for increasing property value: installing an EV charger. What was once a forward-thinking amenity is quickly becoming a standard home feature—especially in regions like Milwaukee, Racine, and Kenosha, where buyers are actively searching for eco-conscious, future-ready properties.


Homes with Level 2 EV chargers or even just 240V outlets are now being flagged as "EV-friendly" in real estate listings. These listings not only attract more attention but also tend to command higher offers and sell faster than similar properties without these upgrades.


Here’s what the numbers show:

  • According to Zillow, homes with sustainable features (like EV charging, solar, or smart thermostats) sell for up to 4% more than comparable properties.

  • A 2022 Redfin study found that homes with a dedicated EV charger sell for $15,000 to $20,000 more, depending on the region and market demand.

  • In competitive real estate markets like Milwaukee and Kenosha, even a 2% value boost on a $300,000 home means a potential increase of $6,000—a significant return on an EV charger investment that typically costs between $800–$2,000 installed (especially after applying federal tax credits).

Why buyers care:

  • EV sales are projected to exceed 50% of all new car sales by 2030.

  • Many EV owners are already looking for homes that let them charge overnight, avoiding the inconvenience of relying on public stations.

  • EV readiness signals that the home is modern, energy-efficient, and tech-friendly—qualities that younger, sustainability-focused buyers prioritize.

Beyond resale value, an EV charger can also help your listing stand out with descriptors like:

  • EV Ready

  • Smart Home Compatible

  • Energy-Efficient Upgrades Included


Even if you're not planning to sell immediately, an EV charger future-proofs your home for years to come—and sets you up to appeal to a broader market when you do decide to list.


If you're looking for a strategic, low-cost upgrade that delivers real ROI, now’s the time to install your home EV charger. Armeni Painting, Electrical and Flooring provides complete, professional installation for homes across Southeastern Wisconsin. Contact us today to schedule your estimate.


Passive Income Potential

You can even monetize your charger. Using peer-to-peer platforms like PlugShare, EVmatch, and AmpUp, homeowners can rent out their charger during hours of non-use. These platforms allow you to set pricing, availability, and share your charger with the growing EV driver network. If you live near a busy road, park, or urban area, this could help offset your installation cost and generate extra monthly income.

Choosing the Right EV Charger

One of the most recommended solutions is the Tesla Wall Connector. As a Level 2 charger, it delivers up to 44 miles of range per hour of charge and includes Wi-Fi for updates. It’s rated for indoor and outdoor use and fits seamlessly into residential spaces.
