At Elite Trades Australia, we understand that choosing the right home charger for your EV can be a daunting task. Here’s a quick recap of the charging levels to help guide you through making the right choice.
Charging Levels – The Best EV Charger for Your Home
Level 1 chargers use a standard 120-volt outlet and are typically included with the purchase of an electric vehicle. These chargers are slow, taking up to 24 hours to fully charge a depleted battery.
Level 2 chargers require a dedicated 240-volt charging station and can charge your EV up to 4-6 times faster than a Level 1 charger. These chargers are more expensive than Level 1 chargers but offer faster charging speeds and greater convenience.
