If you buy an electric vehicle, you need a reliable way to charge it. With public charging costs rising, many owners choose to install their own EV charging stations at home or at their business.
Level 1 EV charging uses a standard household outlet. No extra equipment is required, but charging is slower. You can expect about 4.5 miles of range per hour of charge. If that is too slow for your schedule, level 2 or DC fast charging options may be a better fit.
Installing a level 2 EV charger is the most popular option for most electric vehicle owners. Level 2 chargers charge a vehicle many times faster than level 1 while remaining more affordable than DC fast chargers. With level 2 stations, you can expect about 70 miles of range per hour of charging, depending on your vehicle.
