How to Choose the Right EV Charging Station for Your Home

When you are contemplating purchasing a new EV charging station for your home, one of the first things to consider is which type of charging station is best for you.

There are three levels to EV chargers and deciding which level is right for you will help narrow down the options.

Level 1 Chargers use a 120 V AC plug and can be plugged into a standard outlet. Level 1 chargers also don’t require the help of a professional because they do not need additional equipment installed. Level 1 chargers are the least expensive, but also take the longest to charge. They typically deliver two to five miles of range per hour of charging.
Level 2 Chargers use a 240 V or 208 V and can be used residentially or commercially. These chargers can’t be plugged into a standard outlet and require the help of a professional electrician for proper installation. Level 2 chargers deliver 10 to 60 miles of range per hour of charging and can fully charge a battery in about two hours.
Level 3 Chargers are typically only used commercially and can fully charge a battery in about 20 minutes. They also offer 60 to 100 miles of range in this time frame. These chargers require highly specialized, high-powered equipment to install and maintain.
