Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 EV chargers?
The key difference is charging speed. Level 2 chargers provide faster charging, typically taking 3 to 8 hours for a full charge, offering 15 to 30 miles of range per hour. Level 1 chargers are slower, often taking 11 to 20 hours, with only 3 to 5 miles of range per hour. If you need quicker charging, Level 2 is the better choice.
Which EV charger is best for me?
Choosing the right charger depends on your daily driving distance and how fast you want to charge. For shorter commutes (under 40 miles a day), a Level 1 charger may suffice. For longer commutes or quicker recharging, a Level 2 charger is ideal. Level 2 chargers also often come with smart charging features.
What are the similarities and differences between Level 1 and Level 2 charging?
Both use the same connector type and convert AC power to DC to charge the battery. The main difference is that Level 1 charges at a slower rate (3-5 miles of range per hour), using a standard 120V outlet, while Level 2 provides faster charging (15-30 miles of range per hour) with a 240V connection.
Which level of at-home EV charging is best for me?
If you drive less than 40 miles a day, a Level 1 charger may be enough. However, if you drive longer distances or need faster charging, a Level 2 charger is a better fit. It’s also worth considering Level 2 if you want additional smart features or have the electrical capacity at home for it.
How much does it cost to install EV charger at home?
The cost to install an EV charger typically ranges from $500 to $2,000, depending on the charger type and necessary electrical upgrades, with potential savings from the Federal EV Charger Tax Credit.
When is the best time to charge my EV at home?
Charge your EV during off-peak hours, typically at night, when electricity rates are lower. You can check with your energy provider to find the exact off-peak times, or use smart features available on some chargers to schedule charging during these cheaper hours.
Can I charge my EV without power?
While an EV can last for a few days without needing a charge, you can rely on solar panels and energy storage to keep it charged during a power outage. This also allows you to save money by charging during off-peak hours and even selling excess energy back to the grid.
How to Choose the right EV Charger for Your Home?
Choosing the right EV charger depends on your vehicle’s charging requirements, your home’s electrical capacity, installation location, and how quickly you want to charge.
What is the best home EV charger?
The best home EV charger depends on your needs, but we offer top options like the SPAN Drive, Tesla PowerShare, and Tesla Universal Wall Connector, known for their reliability, fast charging, and ease of use.
