Homes with electric car chargers could soon hold greater resale value than those without, Realtor.com chief economist Danielle Hale tells Axios.
- Home chargers are more convenient than public chargers, and often faster than the charging cables that come with many EVs.
State of play: Nearly 1% of U.S. homes listed on Realtor.com last year were described as EV-friendly, up from 0.1% five years earlier, according to a report from that site and Cox Automotive.
What they're saying: "I don't want to worry about getting to a charging station and waiting," says Chicago-area homeowner Jeanne Gallo, who received a federal tax credit to install a charger in her garage.
Note: Cox Automotive's parent company, Cox Enterprises, also owns Axios.
