Level 1 vs. Level 2 Charging
Customers can choose between level 1 and level 2 chargers.
Another option is level 3 charging, but this is almost exclusively used in commercial environments
since it requires more power than a typical residence can handle.
Level 1 Charging
If you don’t drive too much, you will likely do well with a level 1 charger. You won’t need to upgrade your electrical system—simply plug it into a standard 120-volt outlet and you’re ready to go!
A level 1 charger will give you about four miles of range per hour; this means you can expect to get four miles after an hour of charging.
Level 2 Charging
If level 1 charging is too slow for your needs, you will want to look into level 2 chargers—this is the most practical option for those who commute longer distances on a daily basis. You can fully charge your EV in as little as three hours.
Level 2 charging stations have a higher voltage (240 volts) and will need to be installed by a licensed electrician. Our experts will provide your home with the necessary upgrades and make sure your new charging station is safe to operate after installation.
