The electric vehicle (EV) is the here and now and the future!

There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to electric vehicle chargers. In fact, there are three different levels of charging:
Level 1
This is the standard charger included with the car. Level 1 chargers utilize a common 120-volt household outlet, so they can be plugged in anywhere. Adding between 3-5 miles of range per hour (RPH), this is the slowest charging equipment available. Most car owners find that Level 1 charging isn’t suitable for their daily charging needs.
Level 2
A smart and more convenient way to charge an electric car is with a Level 2 charger. Sold separately from the vehicle itself, these chargers have a slightly more complicated setup and often require the help of an experienced electrician to install correctly. Level 2 chargers are plugged into a 240V outlet and provide 12-80 miles RPH. An electric vehicle with an empty battery can be completely charged overnight!
Level 3
The fastest type of EV charging available, Level 3 chargers provide 3-20 miles per minute. These chargers use direct current (DC) and require 400-900 volts of electricity to function. For that reason, they are not recommended for home use. Not only do they come with a hefty price tag that the average homeowner can’t justify paying out of pocket, but they require more power than many residential electrical grids can provide. Additionally, not every EV supports Level 3 charging.
The most sought-after among EV drivers, Level 2 chargers offer faster charging solutions. They can fully charge an electric vehicle in just a few hours. Level 2 chargers are ideal for home installations as they provide a perfect balance between speed and cost. Furthermore, they are compatible with a majority of electric cars available today.
