The main differences between a Level 1 and Level 2 charger are their charging speeds, and therefore the voltage and power output they require. Level 2 chargers work fast, charging your car significantly faster than a Level 1 charger. On that note, Level 2 chargers are 90% more energy-efficient than Level 1 chargers, which have 80% efficiency. You'll get more range per hour depending on your vehicle and the charger you choose. Level 1s offer a trickle charge that can be used overnight, whereas a Level 2 home EV charger will fully charge your vehicle in a few hours. Level 1 chargers also just plug into a wall outlet, which, while convenient and still lowers charging costs, isn't as effective as DC fast charger stations.

While both have their pros and cons, Level 2 chargers are what we recommend for EV charger installations. Beaverton, OR homeowners who have more questions about different chargers are invited to reach out to our service professionals.
