There are a few different types of EV chargers to choose from, including:
- Level 1 EV Charger - A level 1 EV charger plugs into a standard 120-volt outlet. It is the slowest type of charger, and it can take up to 24 hours to charge your EV. For most drivers, this is not a practical choice.
- Level 2 EV Charger - A level 2 EV charger requires a 240-volt outlet. It is much faster than a level 1 charger and can fully charge most EVs in a few hours. Level 2 EV chargers are the most common type of charging station for homes and businesses.
- Level 3 EV Charger - A level 3 EV charger is also known as a DC fast charger. It is the fastest type of EV charger and can charge your EV to 80% in about 30 minutes. However, level 3 EV chargers are expensive and not practical for most homes and businesses.
What to Consider When Installing an EV Charger
Installing an EV charger is not as simple as plugging it in. You need to consider the electrical capacity of your home or business. Most level 2 EV chargers require a 30-amp circuit, and some require a 40-amp circuit. If your home's electrical system cannot support the charger you want to install, you may need to upgrade your electrical panel.
When you hire Pro Plumbing Air & Electric for EV charger installation in Lexington, we will inspect your electrical system and help you choose the right EV charger for your home. We will also make sure your electrical system can support the charger you choose and provide you with a full cost estimate for the installation.
