Electric car sales have been growing and with rising gas prices, many people are considering an electric one for their next vehicle purchase. In the U.S., currently under 1% of all cars are fully electric. However, hybrid vehicles have had a 76% increase in sales and there has been an 83% increase for fully electric cars. By end of 2022, it is expected that 5% of all car sales will be electric vehicles.
With an all-electric car, finding a charging station is a concern. Having a personal charging station housed in the garage is what car owners want.
An electric car’s charger is actually buried inside of the vehicle. It takes an AC course from the electric supplied and then converts it to DC so the car’s battery pack is charged. In a garage you will need a wall-mounted box with the cord and plug that supplies those volts of electricity. The system is known as an Electric Vehicle Service Equipment (EVSE).
Level 1 and Level 2 Charging Stations There are a variety of EVSEs available and it is important to choose one that is right for your car. You will want to install either a level one with a 120-volt/12-amp outlet; or a level two that has a 240-volt/20-40-amp outlet. (A 240 EVSE service gives you about 23 miles of range each hour of charging.)
240V (Level 2) Is the Best Option A 240-volt outlet uses more power in half the time than that of a 120-volt outlet and is best for those who are always driving. (It costs more but will give you more power in less time. It takes between 4 to 9 hours to recharge – depending upon the kind of vehicle you own.)
Installation An electrician should be involved in the installation of the circuit board and ESVE. If the ESVE is on a shared circuit, other appliances in your home will slow down the car-charging process. Your electrician should:
• Have experience with this type of installation.
• Review where the EVSE should be placed in relation to how your car is parked. You need to consider the length of time the car will be charging and if the cord/car will be in the way during that time period.
• Do a load calculation of all existing circuits. You need to know how much power you have in your home and garage. Make sure the new circuit is capable of 40–50 amps.
• Determine if permits are required prior to installation.
• Once the garage is wired, the charging station should be bolted securely to the wall. Make sure the cord is long enough to reach a car parked outside of the garage (16–25 feet).
Garage Details Is there climate control in the garage? Electric car batteries do not handle fluctuating weather well. An insulated garage door will prevent the interior temperature from changing too drastically and will help extend a car battery’s life.
Apps Some systems come with a “Juice Box” app which lets you track how much power your car uses.

A change has taken place with the Sibcy Cline branch offices. The Northeast and West Chester offices have unified to become Sibcy Cline Voice of America. This office will create a powerful Sibcy Cline office location with over 140 agents led by Carrie McIntosh-Owens and Shelbey Loudin. Both managers bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to this new office formation.
“One thing that’s always been clear about the value of a locally connected brokerage like Sibcy Cline is the power of our agent network for helping buyers and sellers,” said Rob Streicher, Senior VP of Branch Growth and Development at Sibcy Cline. “Bringing agents together and providing office space for them at our branches builds a strong network that’s hugely beneficial to our clients, as well as to our agents. Deals get done faster and clients walk away feeling like their needs were met.”
The two branch offices that now form the new VOA office, Northeast and West Chester, were just 4.2 miles apart. “It just didn’t make sense to have two offices so close together,” said Rob, who co-managed the West Chester office for 9 Years. “Uniting these two offices into one agent network under one roof allows Sibcy Cline to become a bigger powerhouse in the northeast Cincinnati suburbs. It’s been a great move that’s created an unbelievable synergy!”
Shelbey Loudin, Rob’s former co-manager at the West Chester office, agrees. “The combination of the West Chester and Northeast offices into the new Voice of America office puts us in a unique position to dominate the market in our northern suburbs. The opportunities for agents to collaborate as a team will increase exponentially,” said Shelbey, who will co-manage the new VOA office with Carrie McIntosh-Owens.
Carrie, who managed the Sibcy Cline Northeast office and has been part of the industry in this region for 20 years, is excited about a move that will give her agents a greater ability to serve their clients. “Nothing brings me greater joy than to help our agents grow their businesses and have a true impact on families and communities.”
The new Sibcy Cline Voice of America Office is home to over 140 agents serving the northeast Cincinnati suburbs. It is located at 7677 Voice of America Centre Drive in West Chester Township.
There is exciting news happening at Sibcy Cline Realtors with new leadership roles.
Rob Streicher – New Senior Vice President of Branch Growth and Development Rob Streicher has been named the Senior Vice President of Branch Growth and Development at Sibcy Cline. Says Robin Sibcy Sheakley, president of Sibcy Cline, “We are looking forward to learning and growing from Rob’s leadership and experience!”
Rob’s career with the company began in 2002 as a sales agent following 19 years in managing training and support departments at Cincinnati Milacron. His success in both re-sale homes and new construction led to his promotion to sales manager of the Lakota Beckett office in 2010. He later become manager of the West Chester location in 2013.
Rob’s passion for helping others is evident in the fact he was a real estate instructor for Hondros for many years. He has also led the “Exam Cram” class for the past 12 years, encouraging prospective real estate agents to pass state examinations.
Rob is looking forward to coaching Sibcy Cline agents and managers. He says, “I am a very positive person and love working with our agents, clients and managers. I am excited about this new position to share ideas and best practices! I know our company’s dynamics and cannot wait to help our agents and managers grow their business.”
Rob’s new position will replace that of Bob Mahoney, General Sales Manager, who retired from his current position and transitioned to sales on June 30, 2022. Rob says, “I cannot replace Bob. He has been an amazing manager throughout the decades and I have the upmost respect for his work. I do promise to work hard, be a good listener with great follow through and share good ideas.”
Jay Buten – New President of Sibcy Cline Mortgage Services Jay became part of the Sibcy Cline team in June 2021 as Vice President. His background includes 30 years of mortgage and banking experience with Fifth Third Bank. Says Robin, “Jay has been an incredible addition to our leadership team. He has taken the lead to train and promote Sibcy Cline and its various buying and selling support options.” In his new role as President of Sibcy Cline Mortgage Services, he will guide the company’s loan officers to provide the best mortgage service and programs.
Says Jay, “I have spent virtually my entire career supporting talented professionals using modern techniques and traditional values. The mortgage industry is full of new programs and ways to help our clients buy and sell homes. I look forward to supporting and coaching to provide the possible best service.”
Jay is replacing Pat Kuether who is retiring on June 30, 2022. He says, “Pat has been the captain of the Sibcy Cline Mortgage ship for over 38 years. What a track record she has during that time! I am honored to follow in her footsteps!”

Proudest life accomplishments: Earning my undergraduate and master’s degrees at Bowling Green State University and being “Instructor of the Year” at a private training company.
“If you teach someone to fish, they will never be hungry,” says Help Desk Manager Eugene Piggee II, who often finds himself in the position of feeding those who are hungry for help with their tech issues. In this technology-dependent world, properly functioning digital tools can feel like a basic need. When things aren’t functioning like we expect them to, our livelihoods feel threatened. Eugene is one of the members of Sibcy Cline’s tech team who comes to the rescue for agents and employees when technology is failing us, so we can get back to the work of making a living.
But Eugene isn’t satisfied with just giving us a fish—fixing our problem and moving on—he wants to make sure that he goes the extra mile and helps us with any future problems that may come up. “I try to teach one person every day how to fix an issue on their own, so they can save time and resolve it themselves next time.”
Eugene’s recent promotion to Help Desk Manager after 5 years as a Help Desk Analyst had a lot to do with his ability to approach his job with a leadership mentality. In addition to his natural tendencies as teacher and leader, Eugene has a Master’s degree in Technology Education and experience as an Adjunct Professor at Chicago’s DeVry Institute, teaching both young adults and adult learners. He also taught Adobe and Microsoft products at a privately owned training company, where he was named “Instructor of the Year”.
But even with an advanced degree and a successful career already behind him, Eugene struggled to find permanent work when he and his family moved to Cincinnati from Chicago several years ago. “After moving here, the first year was rough finding work that wasn’t temporary. I had help desk temp role after help desk temp role. Finally, I had the opportunity to interview with Sibcy Cline. I was hired full time and trained by an excellent support system.”
In addition to the support network and the relationships he’s built at Sibcy Cline, one of the most rewarding things for Eugene in his job is working together with his team to solve new technology issues. When he can shift from the role of teacher to being the student; he learns through his work. “When there is a new computer issue, we research and learn how to fix it. Or we find better solutions to old issues.”
While teaching and learning about the vast subject of technology could encompass more than a full-time work week, Eugene looks forward to time with his family outside of work. “The best hobby is to make my wife and kids laugh,” he says. “There is always a good dad joke to tell.” Eugene also looks forward to doing more travel with his family and making fun memories. “I want to show my kids there is more out there than what you see every day.”
