EV sales in the US are at an all-time high, hitting\u00a0<\/span>4.5% of total car sales<\/span><\/a> in the last quarter of 2021.

There are\u00a0<\/span>three Levels for EV charging<\/span><\/a> that determines the time taken to charge your car. The type of battery, how depleted it is, and how much power it can hold also affect the charging time.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Level 1 with the standard 120-volt outlet is the slowest charger and takes a whole day (or night) fully charge your vehicle. All EVs and PHEVs can use Level 1 chargers with J1772 and Tesla connectors.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Level 2 chargers use 208-Volt to 240-Volt power and are faster. These stations also come with J1772 and Tesla connectors and you’ll usually find these at shopping malls and parking lots. Public spaces where cars are parked for a longer duration are ideal for Level 1 and 2 charging stations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fast Chargers and Tesla Superchargers are Level 3 EV charging. These get the job done in an hour or so and are the most popular at public EV charging stations. CHAdeMO, Tesla, or Combo connectors are available at Level 3 charging stations. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
