Level One vs Level Two EV Charging: What’s the Difference?
There are two ways to charge an EV at home:
Level one charging is the slowest option for home EV charging. The charger that came with your EV is a level one charger. It can be plugged into any standard 120-volt electrical outlet and will take 40-50 hours to fully charge your battery electric vehicle from empty or 5-6 hours to charge a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle from empty.
Level two charging is the fastest and most convenient option for at-home EV charging. Level two chargers, like the ClipperCreek and Tesla EV charger, require a 240-volt outlet and will charge your battery electric vehicle from empty in just 4-10 hours or a plug-in electric hybrid from empty in just 1-2 hours.
Installing a Home EV Charging Station Is Worth It in California
Installing a level two EV charger at home makes sense for anyone who drives an electric vehicle.
- Faster EV charging – Charge your EV at home in just a few hours. Goodbye range anxiety!
- Safer – Charge from the safety of your own home instead of pulling up to a public EV charging station on the side of the road.
- More affordable – Charge during off-peak hours to save on electricity costs. Or pair your EV with solar panels and batteries so you can charge your electric car for free!
- Convenient – Your home EV charger will always be available when you need it so you can charge at any time without waiting in line at a public charging station.
