DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LEVEL 1 AND LEVEL 2 EV CHARGERS

Before installing an EV charger at home, it is important to understand the different types of chargers available in the market and learn which one is more suitable for your needs.

Level 1 Charger

Charging speed: Level 1 chargers provide a slow charge rate, usually adding about 3 to 5 miles of range per hour. This makes it suitable for those with low daily driving needs and can charge their vehicle overnight.
Power output: These chargers deliver around 1.4 kW of power, sufficient for topping up your vehicle if you don't drive long distances daily.
Installation: One of the main benefits of Level 1 chargers is their plug-and-play nature. Since they require no professional installation, they are a cost-effective option for many homeowners.
Best use case: A Level 1 charger is ideal for those primarily using their EV for short commutes or as a secondary vehicle. This charger can be a practical choice if you can access an outlet near your parking space.
Cost: Level 1 chargers are the most basic charging option and are often included with an electric vehicle purchase, making them a convenient starting point for EV owners.

Level 2 Charger

Charging speed: A Level 2 charger offers much faster charging rates, typically adding 12 to 30 miles of range per hour. This speed is ideal for those with higher daily mileage or who need quicker turnaround times between charges.
Power output: Level 2 chargers deliver between 3.7 and 22 kW of power, significantly reducing the time needed to charge your vehicle. This makes them well-suited for households with more than one electric vehicle or those relying on their EV for long-distance travel.
Installation: Unlike Level 1 chargers, Level 2 chargers require a 240V outlet, similar to what is used for large household appliances like dryers. Professional installation is necessary to ensure safety and efficiency, which adds to the overall cost.
Best use case: Level 2 chargers are perfect for EV owners who drive long distances daily, have a busy schedule, or require multiple daily charges. They are also a great fit for commercial settings where faster charging times are essential.
Cost: Level 2 chargers are more expensive than their Level 1 counterparts due to the need for professional installation and higher power capacity. However, their ability to charge your EV much faster can be a worthwhile investment for many drivers.

WHAT DOES YOUR HOME REQUIRE TO RUN THESE CHARGERS?

The first phase in installing an EV charging system at home is to assess your electrical capacity. Most homes require a 200-amp service for efficient EV charging. We recommend getting an amp draw report from your utility provider. This report should be provided to our technician, who will determine if your current setup can support the charger.

If additional capacity is needed, we will advise on the necessary electrical work. Rest assured, Aire One KW provides detailed estimates before starting any work, ensuring a smooth installation process for your EV charger.

EV CHARGERS FAQs

What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 EV chargers?

Level 1 chargers use a standard 120-volt outlet and are suitable for overnight charging. They deliver about 4-5 miles of range per hour of charging. Level 2 chargers require a 240-volt outlet and are much faster, delivering 25-30 miles of range per hour, making them ideal for quicker recharging or daily use.

Do I need special wiring to install a Level 2 charger at home?

Yes, a Level 2 charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit. An electrician will need to evaluate your home's electrical system to ensure it can support the charger safely and may need to upgrade your panel or wiring.

How long does it take to charge an EV with a Level 1 or Level 2 charger?

Level 1 charger: Fully charging a depleted EV battery can take 20-40 hours, depending on the battery size. Level 2 charger: Charging the same battery typically takes 4-8 hours, making it a more convenient option for regular use.

Can I install a Level 2 charger in a residential building or condo?

Yes, but it may require approval from your building management. Installing a Level 2 charger in shared residential spaces might involve additional steps, such as obtaining permission, ensuring the electrical system is adequate, and potentially adding a metering system to track electricity usage for your unit.
