FAQs About EV Home Chargers
Because of how new Electric Vehicles are, there are plenty of frequently asked questions about how they work, including what charging options are available.
1. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LEVEL 1 AND LEVEL 2 EV CHARGER?
The two significant differences between these two EV home charger levels are charging speeds and the type of installation required to use them.
When you purchase an electric vehicle, it comes standard with a Level 1 charger cord. This cord can plug into any 120-volt electrical outlet in your home and needs no further installation. However, it would be best to have an electrician inspect your home to ensure that your electrical systems can handle charging an electric vehicle. Level 1 EV chargers are a slow-to-charge option, but they come standard with the vehicle, so you will always have some way to charge your car while it isn't in use.
For those who require a full battery more quickly, Level 2 chargers can fill up your vehicle's battery much faster than Level 1. A Level 2 charger requires installation by a professional electrician because it is a 240-volt charger. Depending on the type of vehicle you own, you may find that it charges five times as fast as it does on a Level 1 charger.
2. WHY SHOULD I CHARGE MY VEHICLE AT HOME WITH A LEVEL 2 EVOCHARGE EVSE CHARGER?
Several factors make having a Level 2 EV charger the best choice for owning an electric vehicle.
Convenience: You know your vehicle is charged and ready to go when you wake up in the morning when you have a Level 2 EV charging station at home.
Cheaper than Charging at Public Stations: Installing a home EV charger can be expensive, but having that charger can help keep your overall costs associated with charging the car much lower. You are at the whims of the person who owns the EV charger at public charging stations. They can set whatever fees they see fit to cover the cost of using their charging station, plus whatever they'd like for the energy you use. Depending on where you charge up, this can be pretty expensive.
Extend Car's Battery Life: Public EV chargers are typically Level 3. While they are much faster at charging your car's battery to complete, they also reduce your battery's life. It is better to let the battery charge slowly on a Level 2 charger for the battery's long-term health.
3. CAN I HAVE MY HOME EV CHARGER INSTALLED OUTSIDE?
There are EvoCharge Level 2 charging station options for outdoor installation. These options include charging stations on 6ft pedestals with either single or dual ports to charge one or two vehicles.
