Charging your EV is just as easy as pumping gas.
Where, when, and for how long depends on what type of charging equipment you use.
When charging electric vehicles, Level 1 chargers vs. Level 2 chargers are the two most common options for customers wanting to install EV chargers at home.
Level 1 charging refers to electric vehicle charging that utilizes a standard household power plug (120V) to charge the battery. This type of charging is slow, typically delivering a range of only 2-5 miles per hour of charging for an electric car or Tesla model, making it ideal for overnight charging scenarios.
Level 2 charging utilizes a 240V power supply, which delivers power at a much faster rate, improving the charging time significantly. A Level 2 home EV charger can provide up to 20 miles of charge per hour, making it a preferred option for people on the go.
Additionally, Level 2 charging stations are more commonly found in public spaces like parking lots, and businesses that offer charging fees to customers. Level 1 charging, however, is predominantly used in residential settings.
With its faster charging speeds and the ability to provide a higher range of electric mileage in less time, Level 2 charging is by far the better choice. For electric vehicle owners who frequently travel long distances or lead a busy lifestyle, Level 2 charging stations provide a convenient and efficient way to keep their vehicles charged and ready to go.
