Not all electric vehicle chargers are the same. The three main types of EV chargers on the market are level one, level two, and level three chargers. Choosing the right type will depend on your setup, vehicle, budget, and driving habits. Learn more about your options for EV chargers:

• Level 1 Charger – Owning an electric vehicle means you will likely receive a level one charger with your purchase. These EV chargers will plug into your standard garage three-pronged outlet. Electric vehicle drivers will not need to install their level one charger because there’s nothing to do but plug it into your existing outlet. One problem with a level one EV charger is that it takes a long time to charge a vehicle fully. You can expect it to take at least 20 hours to charge your electric vehicle to a full battery level. That’s alright if you don’t plan on driving every day and have a big budget for electricity, but many drivers would be better off upgrading to a level two charger.
• Level 2 Charger – As the next step up, a level two EV charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit that can be installed by the professionals at Mr. Electric of San Antonio. Our experts specialize in installing level two EV chargers for homeowners in Texas. Allow us to help you charge your vehicle in about three hours with a level two charger. Your battery will be fully charged, and many homeowners opt to do so overnight or early in the morning before leaving the house for the day. Several EV automakers are now including level two chargers with a vehicle purchase, but attempting to install it yourself is not recommended. We can help you select the right level two charger for your vehicle and home.
