Bosgraaf to Include Pre-wire for Electric Vehicles in All Garages


Bosgraaf is currently building a home for a client involved in the car industry and has a lot of interest in electric vehicles. At the customer's request, we pre-wired the garage for their family's future electric vehicle, expected to arrive any day. This was mentioned in the Grand Rapids Press this week. Click here for a link to the article.

As you may know, Bosgraaf has been committed to building energy efficient homes by partnering with Energy Star and has been named Energy Star Partner of the Year multiple times. Since 1999, more than 1,085 homes have been built by Bosgraaf and certified by a 3rd party inspector as Energy Star homes. Today, Bosgraaf Companies President Mike Bosgraaf announced his green commitment would go one step further. "Now that Bosgraaf is familiar with the work needed to make a home ready for an electric vehicle, we are committed to building all brand new Bosgraaf homes EV-ready". Mike continues by sharing the statistic that building 1,085 homes to Energy Star standards (versus building to the Model Energy Code standard) over the last decade was equivalent to eliminating emissions from approximately 600 vehicles. Therefore, "extending our green commitment to making a garage ready for an electric vehicle just makes sense for us".
