Different Levels of Charging

There are three levels of EV charging for more power and faster replenishment of your vehicle. Your charging level depends on your vehicle and home electrical system.

The different levels include:

• Level 1: This uses the standard wall outlet that is 120 volts. It is the slowest charger, with 3-5 miles per hour. This is a good choice for hybrid vehicles with smaller batteries. This level is too slow for daily usage that requires farther distances.

Choosing the Right Electric Car Charger for Your Home

When it comes to installing an electric car charger at your home, it's important to choose the right one to meet your specific needs. Our team at The Faith Electric Group can help you navigate the various options and select the best charger for your electric vehicle.

Factors to consider when choosing an electric car charger include:

• Charging speed: Different chargers offer varying levels of charging speed, so it's important to select one that aligns with your daily driving habits.
• Compatibility: Ensure that the charger you choose is compatible with your electric vehicle's make and model to avoid any compatibility issues.
• Smart features: Some chargers come with smart features, such as scheduling, monitoring, and remote access, providing added convenience and control.
• Installation requirements: Consider the installation process and any additional electrical work that may be needed to accommodate the charger.

By choosing the right electric car charger for your home, you can enjoy the convenience of at-home charging while maximizing the performance and efficiency of your electric vehicle.

• Level 2: This is the common choice for daily EV charging. This can be installed anywhere for 12-80 miles replenished per hour. These require their own circuit in your electrical panel to draw 208-240 volts for ten times faster charging than a level 1.
• Level 3: This is the fastest charger with 3-20 miles replenished per minute. This requires 400-900 volts of energy and uses DC instead of AC current used by levels 1 and 2. This has a significantly higher upfront cost than the other levels because of the change in current.

A level 2 charger is often used for at-home charging stations. You may be able to install this level without upgrading your electrical panel. If you’re not sure which level will work best for you, call our team of experts to learn more.

How to Prepare for Your EV Charger Installation

Before installing an EV charger, certain factors must be considered to ensure a smooth and efficient setup. Here’s what to expect:

2. Placement Considerations: The charger should be conveniently located near your parking area to minimize cord length and maximize accessibility.
3. Permits & Code Compliance: Some installations require permits and must adhere to local electrical codes. We handle the paperwork to ensure compliance.
4. Smart Charging Options: Consider installing a smart charger that allows scheduling, remote monitoring, and energy usage tracking for added convenience.
