Choosing the Right EV Charger for Your Home

Let’s explore each EV charger option to find your perfect match.

Level 1 Charging: Standard Home Power

The simplest charging option uses your home’s standard 120-volt outlets. Level 1 charging provides 1-1.8kW of power, adding about 2-4 miles of range per hour. While it’s the slowest option, it can still provide enough charge for local daily driving of around 20 miles.

Level 2 Charging: The Popular Choice

Most homeowners choose Level 2 chargers for their efficiency. Operating at 240 volts with higher amperage, these systems charge 6-8 times faster than Level 1 options. You’ll gain 12-32 miles of range per charging hour, depending on your vehicle’s specifications.

Level 3 Charging: Maximum Speed

DC Fast-Charging delivers impressive results, adding 100-250 miles of range in just 30-45 minutes. While powerful, these systems often require special adaptors and might not be suitable for all homes or vehicles.

Important Electric Vehicle Charging Considerations

Keep in mind that your battery’s charge level affects charging speed. The final 20% of charging (from 80% to 100%) often takes as long as charging the first 70% to protect your battery from overheating.
