Types of EV Home Charging Stations
Level 1
Level 1 chargers are normally plugged into your standard 120V outlet. These chargers usually come with your car and can be plugged in at home or anywhere on the go you can find an outlet. You will want to make sure that outlet isn’t powering any other appliances.
These chargers are usually very slow at charging. Depending on your type of vehicle these plugs can charge at a rate of 2-5 miles per hour.
Level 2
Level 2 chargers are much faster than level 1 chargers. They usually require a dedicated 240V AC Plug, much like your dryer or range. This is the most reliable type of charger as you can typically get between 15-60 miles per hour charging rate.
