Types Of Charging Stations

Electric vehicle charging stations come in three different levels ranging from residential charging stations to commercial charging stations. They vary in how quickly they will charge your electric vehicle. You will need to find the best option for your lifestyle.

Level 1

This level is typically used for residential homes. It’s the basic charging unit you get when you buy your car. In 20 hours, you’ll get over 100 miles of charge in your vehicle. With this unit, you’ll be able to plug your vehicle into any typical 120V outlet.

Level 2

These chargers are at many public charging stations, and they are a common upgrade when you first buy your car. They have to be installed by an electrician because they require a higher voltage than a standard outlet to operate. Depending on the type of car and charger you have, a level 2 unit can charge your vehicle up to seven times faster than a level one.

If you want to drive your electric vehicle regularly, this is the charger you want. You’ll be able to minimize the amount of time spent at public charging stations while optimizing your driving experience. A level 2 charger is worth it to be able to drive to work with a fully charged car.

Level 3 Or DC Fast Charge

First, you need to know if you can charge your car at a level 3 station. If you can, then you’re in luck because these are the best of the best chargers. They are the fastest option to charge your vehicle if you’re fortunate enough to be able to use this unit.

DC fast charge requires special equipment in the charging station and the vehicle that needs to be charged. You can typically find these stations at commercial charging sites. It’s often not possible for you to install level 3 chargers in a residential home.
