Charging Levels for Electric Vehicle Chargers

Level 1 vs level 2 chargers, what is the difference? These are typically the two types of chargers common with electric vehicles (EV) when charging for residential use.

Level 1  Charger

Most electric vehicles (EV) come with a level 1 charger. This style of charger will plug into any standard 120V outlet with the other end being plugged into your vehicle.

Level 2 Charger

This style of electric vehicle charger is sold separately from your vehicle and requires a little bit more of a setup. A licensed electrician is usually required to help with this setup as this charger needs to be plugged into a 240V outlet, the same kind that you would plug a dryer or stove into.
