Choosing the Best EV Charger for Your Home
It’s important to choose the best charger for your electric vehicle and your home. The best charger for you typically depends on your budget, driving habits, and setup. The types of EV chargers we install include:
- Level 1 Charger – A Level 1 charger is included with your electric vehicle purchase and plugs into a standard three-prong outlet. It takes about 20 hours to fully recharge your battery, so Level 1 is the best selection for overnight charging.
- Level 2 Charger – A Level 2 charger works with a 240-volt circuit. Level 2 chargers are professionally installed and recharge your vehicle in about three hours. Some electric vehicles can be purchased with level 2 chargers, but you still need them professionally installed.
- Level 3 Charger – A level 3 charger is usually at public charging stations. They can fully recharge your vehicle in about 30 minutes half to add 160 miles of driving range. Since you must have an industrial-level power draw for a Level 3 EV charger, we only install these at commercial businesses.
