Smarter Chargers, Smarter Homes
The easiest and most efficient upgrade for charging two EVs at home is a dual-port Level 2 charger, like the Grizzl-E Duo. It connects to your existing 240V outlet and intelligently splits the available power between both vehicles. For instance, with a 40-amp circuit, each car would receive around 6 kW when charging simultaneously—enough to replenish a solid amount of range overnight.
Tesla owners have an elegant solution, too. Tesla Wall Connectors can be daisy-chained to communicate and dynamically share power. These chargers automatically adjust their output depending on demand, giving priority to the car that needs it more or charging one car faster when the other isn’t connected.
Not ready for a major installation or panel upgrade?
Plug-and-play splitters like NeoCharge are a game-changer. They allow you to safely share one outlet between two chargers or between a charger and another high-power appliance. They’re quick to set up and perfect for renters or those looking to avoid the hassle and cost of electrical work.
Keep It Simple: Rotate and Recharge
You don’t always need smart tech to keep two EVs charged. Many drivers simply rotate charging nights. One car plugs in on even days, the other on odd days. It’s old-school—but it works.
Another option is combining charging levels. Use a Level 2 charger for the car that needs faster charging, and plug the other into a standard 120V Level 1 outlet. While slower, Level 1 charging still adds enough range for the average 30–40 mile daily commute, especially if left to charge overnight.
Choose the Setup That Fits Your Lifestyle
If both EVs are driven daily over long distances, then investing in a dual charger or a load-sharing system makes sense. However, if one car stays parked or sees light use, simpler solutions—like alternating charging or mixing L1 and L2—can work surprisingly well.
Modern EV tech is flexible. From smart chargers to simple habits, powering two EVs at home no longer means doubling your equipment—it just means charging smarter.
