KB Home to pre-wire homes for electric vehicles

Los Angeles-based home builder KB Home announced it will begin offering an option to pre-wire Built to Order homes to accommodate electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle charging stations to customers nationwide.

“KB Home is building new homes that are relevant to the way home buyers are living -- now and in the future,” said Jeffrey Mezger, president and CEO of KB Home. “This is just one of many innovative and earth-friendly options that homeowners can choose from as part of KB Home’s Built to Order experience. It’s a great feature for home buyers who currently drive electric cars, or for those who want to build their new home to accommodate these cars in the future,” he added.

The company said it is continually surveying the market to better understand what customers are looking for in a home.
