EV Charger Types & Your Home's Compatibility
Level 1 Charging
Level 1 chargers use a standard 120V household outlet. While convenient, they are the slowest option, typically adding 3-5 miles of range per hour of charging. Best for plug-in hybrids or low-mileage daily drivers.
Level 2 Charging
The gold standard for home charging. Level 2 stations require a 240V circuit (like a dryer outlet) and can charge an EV 5-10 times faster than Level 1, providing a full battery overnight for most vehicles.
Compatibility Check: Is Your Home Ready?
- Panel Capacity: We evaluate if your current electrical panel can handle the additional load of a Level 2 charger.
- Wiring & Service: Assessment of existing wiring and whether a service upgrade is necessary for safe operation.
- Parking Proximity: Calculating the distance from your panel to your parking area to determine the most efficient cable run.
- Electrical Permits: Ensuring all installations meet National and local electrical codes and safety standards.
