KB Home offers pre-wired homes for EV owners (Silicon Valley)

KB Home said Tuesday it will begin offering an option to pre-wire its new Built to Order homes to accommodate charging stations for homeowners’ electric vehicles.

Los Angeles-based KB (NYSE:KBH), one of Silicon Valley's biggest home builders, said the option is designed to ease the future installation of a station to charge an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle conveniently at home.

California has the highest percentage of plug-in hybrid cars registered in the country, accounting for more than 20 percent of all Toyota Priuses sold.
