What Is a Home EVSE Charger?
EVSE chargers supply electric energy to recharge electric vehicles from the comfort of your home conveniently. Mr. Electric of Middletown has three levels of electric vehicle charging devices available, including the following:
- Level 1 Charger – The Level 1 charger comes standard with most electric vehicles. You can plug this option into any normal three-prong outlet. These chargers require no installation, but they charge vehicle batteries slower than the other two levels. Level 1 EVSE chargers are best for overnight use since fully charging your vehicle can take 20 hours or more.
- Level 2 Charger – The Level 2 charger is a bit more advanced and requires its own dedicated 240-volt circuit. You need a licensed electrician to professionally install this charger in your garage. Level 2 chargers will bring your vehicle to a full charge much faster than Level 1 chargers (about three hours), and many electric vehicle manufacturers include a Level 2 charger with each new car purchase.
- Level 3 Charger – The Level 3 charger is the standalone device you might have seen at public EV charging stations. This charger can add 160 miles of driving range to a vehicle’s battery in around 30 minutes. However, they have an industrial-level power draw, so they’re unavailable to homeowners. If you own or work at an industrial building, you may be able to have a Level 3 charger installed there.
