Types of EV Chargers for Your Home
There are three main levels of EV chargers for home use, each suited for different needs. We can help you explore your options and find the right fit based on how often you drive, how fast you want to charge, and your budget.
Level 1 Chargers
Level 1 chargers are the most basic option, typically included with your EV. These chargers can be plugged into a standard household outlet, making them convenient for occasional or overnight charging. However, they can take over 20 hours to fully charge your car's battery, so they're best for drivers with lower daily mileage.
Level 2 Chargers
A Level 2 charger requires a 240-volt circuit, which means it needs to be professionally installed. These chargers significantly reduce charging time, often fully charging a vehicle in just 3 to 4 hours. For daily drivers, a Level 2 charger offers the best balance between convenience and speed.
Level 3 Chargers
Level 3 chargers, also known as fast chargers, are typically used in commercial settings due to their high power output. They can charge your EV in under an hour, making them ideal for businesses or public charging stations. While they're not commonly installed in homes, we can help you determine if a Level 3 charger might be right for your unique needs.
