What Are the Different Levels of EV Chargers?

EV chargers are categorized into three levels with different charging speeds and applications:

  • Level 1 Chargers: These are standard 120-volt chargers that come with most EVs. They can be used with any standard outlet. Level 1 chargers are not ideal for drivers who need to make far or frequent trips because they can take more than 24 hours to fully charge an EV. Some EV trucks can take up to 5 days to charge at level 1!

  • Level 2 Chargers: Operate at 240 volts, making them faster and more efficient than Level 1 chargers. Level 2 chargers can charge most EVs in 4–8 hours, an excellent fit for people looking to charge overnight or while at the office. These are the chargers most people choose to have installed in their homes. Contact us today for a quote!

  • DC Fast Chargers (Level 3): These chargers can recharge an EV battery to 80% in as little as 30 minutes.
