EV CHARGING LEVELS
There are different levels to charge your vehicle Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 DC Fast Charging and Tesla Supercharging, which only charges a Tesla vehicle. All electric cars can charge on Level 1 and Level 2 options. However, some vehicles cannot charge at a Level 3 charger. Knowing your vehicle’s capabilities is therefore very important.
Level 1/Home Charging: Level 1 charging is simply plugging into a standard wall outlet. It uses a 120-volt charge. This is the slowest form of charging. It will typically charge your car at a rate of 2-5 miles per hour. This is most convenient for home charging as filling up your battery will take many hours.
Level 2 Charging: The most common and efficient charging option for your residence or workplace. Level 2 charging delivers a charge of either 220 or 240 volts with a rate of up to 25 miles per hour. Level 2 chargers can be found at retail, residential, workplace, parking structures, schools or similar applications, or you can even have one installed in your home. The Level 2 can deliver a full charge throughout the course of the workday or full night’s sleep. However, if you don’t have time you can receive a minimal re-charge within an hour.
DC Fast/Level 3 Fast Charging: DC Fast charging is the most convenient way to charge for those electric vehicles with fast charging capability. If you would like to fast charge your EV up to 80% capacity in under 30 minutes, DC Fast Charging is for you. It takes seconds to plug in, then allows you to shop, eat or relax for 30-60 minutes and return to your EV with nearly a full charge. DC Fast Charging is convenient, easy and fast!
DC fast charging empowers you to charge your battery electric vehicle (BEV) quickly, conveniently, and on-the-go. Why Charge in hours when you can charge to near full capacity in under 30 minutes? Have more questions? Curious on which vehicles work with DC fast charging?
