What Is A Level 2 EV Charger Installation?
If you’re curious about electrical vehicle charging stations, specifically about Level 2 charger installation, this article can tell you what you want to know.
The Benefits Of EV Chargers
Electrical vehicles offer many benefits. EV’s generally require less maintenance than gas-powered, internal combustion engine vehicles. These vehicles have more parts than EV’s, so there’s more that can go wrong and more to inspect and service. Second, EVs don’t use gas, so you’ll save money by not having to go to the gas station. And last, EV’s are cool and fun to drive!
One thing that gives drivers pause about electric vehicles is how to charge them. You may be unsure of how to charge them or how long it takes. You certainly don’t want to spend time driving all over town looking for a charging station. Having your own charger at home means you don’t have to worry about your electric vehicle running out of power in the middle of a drive. You will always be able to charge your vehicle at your own home.
Different Charging Levels
Not all types of electric vehicle chargers are the same. There are different types of charging stations that vary in how much electricity they can transfer to your vehicle. Level 1 charging takes anywhere from 2 to 12 hours to fully charge a vehicle. This isn’t very convenient for most drivers.
Level 2 charging takes one to six hours to fully charge a vehicle, and Level 3 charging takes less than 30 minutes! Level 3 may be the most convenient charger to use, but they cost more, so many prefer Level 2. There are also tools you can use to track how much electricity you use for tax purposes.
Level 2 Charger Installation
Level 2 charging stations, also called high-voltage stations, can deliver higher amounts of energy than Level 1 stations. They cut charging times significantly for EV models that support them. They use higher voltage than standard wall outlets support, so they require special cables and connectors to connect to an electric vehicle. It’s important to ensure that the EV you have or are considering purchasing is compatible with Level 2 charging before you begin the installation process.
