Finding the right EV is easy when you visit Motorworld | MileOne Autogroup. Finding an EV charging station may seem challenging, but once you understand the types of EV chargers, you realize that the closest charging station is much closer than you think.
Level 1 Charging
A Level 1 charger is your slowest charging option. It uses a common 120V household outlet — the same one you use to charge your phone or iPad — so it’s understandable that this option will take longer when it’s time to charge the electrical battery that powers a whole car.
Level 2 Charging
A Level 2 charger can be professionally installed at home. It uses the same 240V standard as your dryer and a few other appliances, taking about ten hours to fully charge your vehicle. Our team of car dealers will point you to a qualified installer.
Level 3 Charging
Level 3 charging is also called DC fast charging. Rather than the lower-voltage, lower-amperage alternating current chargers used at home, these use high-voltage direct current that is capable of charging an EV in about 90 minutes, much faster than the other charger types.
Pros and Cons of EV Chargers
A Level 3 charger will be tempting to many drivers, but it isn’t necessarily your best option. Repeated fast charging degrades battery life over the long term, which can paradoxically mean that you’ll eventually need to charge more often.
That doesn’t mean that you’re stuck with a Level 1 charger and charging at a snail’s pace. A Level 2 charger and a bit of planning strike a happy medium between speed and battery life.
