FAQs about Getting Your Home Ready for EV Charging

Q: Do I need a garage or a sheltered area to put a home EV charger?

A: No. The ChargePoint® Home Flex charger is weatherproof, so Falmouth drivers can install it indoors or outdoors.

Q: Do I need to go out and get special charging cables for charging my Mazda EV at home?

A: No. Your Mazda EV comes standard with a portable Level 1 charging cable to plug into 120-volt outlets, which are common in Plymouth.

Q: What do I need for faster Level 2 home charging?

A: The ChargePoint® Home Flex charger is a Level 2, 240-volt in-home charging unit that's up to 9 times faster than a standard outlet. Yarmouth drivers can get a $500 credit to put toward the purchase of a Level 2 home charger for their Mazda EV.

Q: Will my electric bill go up if I charge my Mazda EV at home?

A: Yes. However, people in Hyannis can schedule their ChargePoint Home station to only charge when electricity is cheapest and to set reminders so that they won't forget to plug in.
