What Type of EV Charger Outlet Do You Need?
The pros at A-Lumination Electric can walk you through the different outlet options and help you decide on the right outlet for your home and your needs. Here are the types of chargers that are commonly used for residential EV charging stations:
Outlets for Level 1 Chargers (120V outlets)
A Level 1 charger is the type of charger that electric vehicles come with when you first buy them. They can be plugged into any normal outlet in your home. You may know them as 120V outlets. Most people already have them in the garage. However, if you need to have an outdoor-rated 120V installed outside or if you don’t already have one in the garage, let our residential electricians know, and we’ll put one in for you.
Outlets for Level 2 Chargers (240V outlets)
Level 2 EV Chargers are the most popular option because they charge much faster than a Level 1 charger. They can also still be supported by most residential electrical systems while keeping to electrical code standards. For a Level 2 charger, you’ll need a 240V outlet. This isn’t a common type of outlet to already have installed in your garage, so it’s likely that you’ll need an outlet installation before you get your EV charger.
Outlets for Level 3 Chargers
Level 3 chargers are the type of chargers that are used in commercial settings. They are not usually supportable, or even allowed, in residential areas. Most local electricians that offer residential services only install Level 2 chargers and outlets.
Benefits of an EV Charging Station at Home
Having an EV charging station at home offers several advantages over relying on public charging stations:
- Convenience of overnight charging
- Cost savings compared to public stations
- Improved battery life due to slower charging
- Control over scheduling charges for lower rates
- Potential increase in home value
- Contribution to a cleaner environment by using electricity that might be increasingly generated by renewable sources
Electric vehicles are safe and environmentally friendly, making them a great choice for people (contrary to what you may have heard).
