Types of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
There are three basic types of charging for electric vehicles. Here is a little definition of each so you have a better understanding of the charging needs and requirements of electric vehicles.
– Level 1 Charging: Every electrical vehicle comes with a cord that will get you level 1 charging. Level 1 charging is a 120V charger. You can plug this into any of your normal outlets found in the garage. This is a slow charge and will likely take 1-2 full days to charge your batter completely.
– Level 2 Charging: The 220V level 2 charger is absolutely necessary when you need to charge your electric vehicle overnight for use the next day. It will charge your car is less than half the time you level 1 charger will. You don’t have to worry about a level 2 damaging your battery as this charger is completely safe, just much faster. This is a much more reliable, safe and efficient charger for your EV.
– DC Fast Charging: These chargers are used commercially to offer electric vehicles a quick charge. The above chargers use alternating current while this charger uses direct current. The strength of these chargers are the reason that they are only used in public charging stations.
