Electric Car Chargers Increase Property Value

Long Time Realtor Explains

Hello, everybody. My name is Chris Berger, and it’s time for Berger Point.

You know, part of the fun going around and seeing these houses is what they actually have to offer on the outside before you get to see the inside.

Now, we talked about whether it’s the panels that might provide a backup system, the air conditioning system, the solar system.

This particularly stood out to me because we had a client and on the outside of the home was a car charger. Traditionally it’s pretty much always located inside the garage and connected to your power source or your electrical grid inside the house.

But this was outside.

I said, oh, how is this working?

Well, it turns out that the charger was powered by a battery storage that was provided by the solar panels, which were located on the roof.

I said, isn’t that something?

Now this is adding value to the home, probably, you know, somewhere in the area of at least $20,000.


Now by doing so, because traditionally we think of electrical vehicles in the United States, not that many.

However, statistically speaking, it’s about seven and a half percent (7.5%) between electrical vehicles and now even the plug-in hybrids.

So, I wanted to show you what this panel looked like and how unique it is.

What’s unique about this charger is that, of course, it’s attached to the outside of the home, but above it are the solar panels that provide the electricity for it.

Essentially, free after you pay for the panels.

That’s my point!


Over the weekend, I got to see a kind of unique concert. It was called the Happy Together Tour.

It was located in New Hampshire.

They had eight different artists providing music.

And it was really extraordinary.

One of the things is — I saw Gary Puckett and the Union Gap and actually my wife and I saw him 50 years ago when we were in high school, which is absolutely amazing.

Have a good one.
