If you’re considering transitioning to an electric car, you might be wondering how charging works. Our team can assist you with both level 2 and level 3 charging stations, ensuring you get the most out of your investment. Here are a few things to know about all three levels of EV charging.
- Level 1 Charging: Each EV car comes with a cord for Level 1 charging, which can be connected to any of the same outlets that your laptop or phone charger might plug into. However, Level 1 charging is the lowest level of charging, which means that it is not as fast or efficient as the higher levels. In fact, in some cases, it can take a Level 1 charger a full day to top a car back up to full, which can be fine for light drivers but is incredibly inconvenient for anyone with a heavy commute.
- Level 2 Charging: Level 2 car charging uses 240V electrical outlets, twice as much as a Level 1 charger, which immediately makes a Level 2 charger a faster experience for any EV owner trying to charge their car. This is a solid choice for a large number of people, bridging the gap between convenience and specialized equipment and investment.
- Level 3 Charging: Level 3 car chargers mark the far end of the spectrum for electric vehicle chargers. Level 3 car chargers, sometimes called DC chargers or superchargers, are able to fully charge an electric vehicle in around an hour, which is a marked improvement on either of the two tiers below it.
