Different Types of Electric Car Chargers We Install
Different Electric car chargers recharge your car at three different levels with three different speeds measured by kilowatts. How long to charge an electric car really depends on the type of charging station you have installed. Let’s take a look at how your electric vehicle will charge when plugged into each level.
Level 1 EV Chargers
The basic electric car charger that comes with your vehicle will plug into any standard 3-prong 120V outlet. This charging level is considered a Level 1 and will typically fully charge your vehicle within 20 hours. It’s best to leave your vehicle plugged into this type of charge overnight or for an extended period.
Level 2 EV Chargers
A Level 2 charge will charge your vehicle three to seven times faster than a Level 1, which means you’ll get on the road faster than ever before. But since this level needs a 240V outlet, a licensed electrician is required to perform the EV charger installation. Most public EV charging stations are Level 2.
Level 3 EV Chargers
Also known as DCFC or the DC Fast Charger, Level 3 chargers are the fastest way to supercharge your electric car. Level 3 chargers only work if your battery is below 80% and will quickly charge your vehicle back to full battery capacity. DC Fast Chargers are best for giving your car the extra boost it needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do You Charge an Electric Car?
Electric vehicles are powered by batteries instead of gasoline, so you’ll need a designated area to charge. Ideally, this area is where you park your car, like a garage or carport. Regardless of where you decide to charge your electric car, EV charging stations are durable and weatherproof.
Follow this step-by-step guide to charging your electric car:
1. Choose a Charging Point
Whether you’re using a home charging station or a public charging station, locate the charging point you intend to use. Be mindful of the charging level, because that will determine how long you’ll be waiting.
2. Insert Connector Into Port
Place the charging connector into the port of your vehicle.
3. Wait
Now the waiting game begins. You could be waiting a few minutes up to a few hours depending on the type of charging level you chose. When charging is complete, unplug your connector and place it back in the dock.

How Long Should You Charge an Electric Car?
The time it takes to charge your electric vehicle depends on your battery and the type of EV charging station you’re using. While charging an electric car with a level 1 car EV charger could take you 20 hours, a level 3 car charger outlet could reduce this time to as low as 30 minutes.
It’s best to charge your electric vehicle throughout the day and to fully charge it overnight, much like a phone or laptop.
