Mini-Split systems keep your EV charger space climate controlled year round
Why Every EV Owner with a Home Charger Needs a Mini Split System
As electric vehicles (EVs) continue to rise in popularity, more homeowners are installing at-home EV chargers for the convenience of overnight charging. The extreme weather in Illinois continues to surprise us from frigid negative temperature winters to 100+ degree summer temps. One crucial element often overlooked is the need to control the temperature of the space where the EV is charged — whether it’s a garage, dedicated outbuilding, or attached carport. This is where a mini split heat pump system becomes a game-changer.

Protect Your EV and Battery Health
Temperature plays a huge role in battery performance and longevity. Both extreme heat and cold can negatively affect your EV battery’s efficiency, charging speed, and long-term health. Cold weather can slow charging and reduce driving range, while excessive heat can degrade battery cells over time. There was a cold snap in January which had EV drivers looking for reasons why their vehicles were unable to charge.
By installing a mini split system, you can maintain a consistent, moderate temperature in your charging space, protecting your EV’s battery and maximizing its performance.
Comfortable Charging Space — Year-Round
If you spend time in your garage or charging space — whether checking on your vehicle, cleaning, or doing small repairs — comfort matters. In winter, garages can become freezing, and in summer, they can turn into ovens. A mini split provides both heating and cooling, ensuring you have a comfortable environment no matter the season. Modern mini split systems are highly efficient, providing powerful heating in the winter and effective cooling in the summer without breaking the bank on energy bills.
Energy-Efficient and Cost-Effective Solution
One of the key benefits of mini splits is their high energy efficiency, especially compared to traditional electric heaters or portable AC units. Many mini split heat pumps boast inverter technology, which adjusts output to maintain desired temperatures with minimal energy use. Plus, since most EV owners are already mindful of their energy consumption, adding a low-cost, energy-efficient climate control solution fits perfectly into the eco-conscious lifestyle.
Easy Installation — No Ductwork Needed
Unlike central HVAC systems, mini splits require no ductwork, making them ideal for garages or detached buildings where running ducts would be complicated or costly. With just a small outdoor unit and a sleek indoor wall-mounted unit, mini splits can be installed quickly and efficiently.
Owning an EV is an investment and protecting that investment starts at home. By installing a Mitsubishi mini split system in your garage or charging space, you ensure your EV stays in optimal condition while also creating a more comfortable and usable space for yourself. Stay efficient, stay comfortable, and take care of your EV — all with one simple solution.
