- Level 1 Charger – A Level 1 charger is the type of charger that is included with the purchase of an electric vehicle. It can plug into a standard three-prong outlet. A Level 1 charger takes about 20 hours to charge your electric vehicle battery, so it is best suited for drivers who don’t use their electric vehicle daily.
- Level 2 Charger – A Level 2 charger needs its own 240-volt circuit to adequately charge. These chargers must be professionally installed in your home. Level 2 chargers can recharge your electric vehicle in three hours.
- Level 3 Charger – A Level 3 charger is the type of electric vehicle charger that you find at public charging stations. This type of charger can recharge an electric vehicle in 30 minutes and add 160 miles of driving range. Level 3 chargers require an industrial-level power draw.
