EV Charger FAQs

  • What types of EV chargers are available?

    EV chargers are categorized into three levels:

    Level 1 Chargers – Standard 120V outlet; slow charging (4-5 miles per hour of charge).

    Level 2 Chargers – Requires a 240V outlet; faster charging (20-60 miles per hour of charge).

    Level 3 (DC Fast Chargers) – High-speed charging for commercial and public stations (80% charge in 30 minutes).
