Electric Vehicle Charging Station Installation in Lilburn, GA
Electric Vehicle Charging Station Installation in Lilburn
Charging Options
Level 1 Charging
If you have recently purchased an electric vehicle, then your purchase likely included a charging cable that can be plugged into your standard 120-volt outlet. This is level 1 charging and is ideal for locations where the owner can plug in all day or overnight. This is because level 1 charging is slower than the other charging options, providing around 4-5 miles of range for each hour of charging. If you are forgetful, then this can be a risky option that can leave you stranded without charge.
Level 2 Charging
Level 2 charging stations are the most popular option for commuters as these chargers offer about 20 to 25 miles of range per hour of charge. Plug in your vehicle for 4-5 hours and you are likely ready to go with a full charge, but "topping off" for an hour or two might be all that you need for a day's common travel. Level 2 charging stations charge faster because they use higher voltage. The 240-voltage can only be delivered through special circuits, so you might need to have an affordable electrician install this circuit for your garage. Mr. Electric is happy to include this service in your electric vehicle charging station installation in Lilburn.
Level 3 Charging
This is the premier, crème de la crème of an EV charging systems installation. These require even more voltage than the level 1 & 2 charging stations. Specifically, level 3 charging stations use direct current (DC) to deliver up to 500 volts of charging power. This added oomph means you can get 100 miles of range in just an hour! There is some bad news though. Most residential electric grids do not support level 3 charging stations, which is why you will rarely find these in homes. Ask Mr. Electric if your home supports a level 3 electric vehicle charging station installation.
