- Battery Health & Longevity: Optimal amperage and scheduling can prevent overcharging, extending battery life significantly.
- Smart Home Compatibility: Chargers with Wi‑Fi, app control, and platforms like Alexa, Siri—or compatible with solar, load management, and off‑peak scheduling—offer seamless integration.

Hardwired vs plug-in Level 2—any rule of thumb?
Farashi Electric
Hardwired is best outdoors/higher amperage; plug-in offers flexibility but is limited by the receptacle rating.
