Electric car charging stations energy is less expensive than gas. Your battery charge meter will let you know when you need to “top off” as the opportunity arises.
When you shop for a charging station, you will find that they come with many sizes and capabilities. Charging stations are categorized by their watt output. These ratings determine the time to charge your vehicle. Your charging times will also vary by the size of your car’s battery.
Level 1 EV Charging Stations: 120 Volt (uses standard home outlet)
For Level 1 charging, you plug your EV car into a household electrical outlet. The car manufacturer supplies an adapter for your EV. Level 1 charging is slow. As an example, an electric vehicle yields 4-5 miles of range per hour of charging or about 22 hours for a full charge.
This seems like a long charge time. Then consider that 80% of drivers drive under 40 miles a day. A typical EV car will not need a “full” charge each day. Your vehicle can quickly recharge while the car is idle in the garage.
Level 2 Electric Car Charging Stations: 240 Volt (same voltage used by a refrigerator)
Most EV drivers will want to choose the faster level 2 charger. Level 2 EV charging stations will vary in output. They start at 3.3 kW or 40 miles of range for a 3-hour charge. The most efficient get 16.8 kW or 40-mile with 40 minutes of charge. The typical home EV charger provides charging times somewhere between. The time required to charge is based on your average commute. It also depends on if you have a charging station at work. A qualified EV installer must install level 2 EV chargers.
