Electric Car Wiring: Future-Proofing Your Home
At Royalty Custom Homes, we’re always thinking ahead to ensure your home is ready for the technology of today—and tomorrow. That’s why every custom home we build includes rough-in wiring for an electric car outlet, making it simple and cost-effective to add EV charging capabilities in the future.
Why Rough-In Wiring Matters
Installing wiring for an electric vehicle (EV) outlet during the rough-in phase—before the walls are finished—offers significant advantages:
Cost-effective: Rough-in wiring is far easier and less expensive than adding it after construction is complete.
Clean installation: Wires are securely run behind walls, keeping your home’s appearance clean and finished.
Flexible: Pre-installed wiring allows any qualified electrician to easily connect the appropriate EV outlet when you’re ready.
By taking this forward-thinking approach, your home is future-ready for electric vehicle infrastructure without disrupting your finished walls or living space.
How It Works
Rough-in wiring only: The wires are run behind the walls, and the outlet box is safely capped off for future use.
Future installation: When you’re ready to install an EV outlet, your electrician can connect the specific receptacle for your electric car model with minimal effort.
Added value: This simple step adds long-term value to your custom home, making it ready for the growing demand for EV charging.
Planning for the Future
Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly common, and pre-wiring your home ensures you’re prepared for this shift. By including this wiring in every Royalty Custom Home, we give our homeowners peace of mind and flexibility to adopt new technology whenever they choose.
Whether you already own an electric vehicle or plan to in the future, having rough-in wiring installed during construction is a smart, proactive choice that makes your home more functional and future-ready.
