🔌 LEVEL 1 CHARGING: Easy but Slow
Level 1 charging is the basic option for your EV, using a standard 120-volt household outlet. It adds just a few miles of range per hour, making it the slowest charging method. Perfect for overnight charging or when your vehicle is parked for a long time, it’s not fast but very convenient in emergencies or for light daily use.
⚡ LEVEL 2 CHARGING: The Everyday Hero
Level 2 chargers run on 240 volts and charge your EV about 20 times faster than Level 1. They add between 20 to 50 miles of range per hour, with power outputs from 6kW to 19kW. Ideal for home and workplace charging, Level 2 is the preferred choice for EV owners who want fast, reliable, and convenient charging.
🏡 RESIDENTIAL LEVEL 2 CHARGING
Turn your home garage or driveway into your personal EV charging station. Residential Level 2 chargers use circuits similar to those for home appliances like dryers or ovens. Many come with smartphone apps for scheduling and monitoring your charge, so you can charge easily on your own schedule indoors or outdoors.
🏢 COMMERCIAL LEVEL 2 CHARGING
For businesses, Level 2 chargers offer more than convenience they’re a smart business tool. These can provide public charging with fee collection, perfect for retail locations, offices, and apartment complexes. Advanced features help manage energy use, restrict access to authorized users, and support company fleets or multi-family housing.
Whether at home or in public, Level 2 charging offers the perfect balance of speed, flexibility, and convenience! 🚗⚡
