The increase in Electric Vehicle usage over the past ten years has been enormous, and the benefit of being able to charge at home with EV Chargers is increasing.
Electric Car Charging provides higher power output to your vehicle, this allows for Fast or Rapid Charging at your home or business which reduces the time required to recharge your EV.
EV chargers are a device that allows electric vehicles to charge their batteries. The charger connects to the vehicle’s battery and uses electricity from the grid to charge the battery. There are different types of EV chargers, with varying charging speeds and levels of power.
Types of EV Chargers
EV chargers can be installed in both commercial and residential properties and can be owned and operated by the property owner or by a third-party company. Government incentives and funding may also be available to help offset the cost of installing EV chargers.
Level 1 Chargers
These are the slowest type of charger and typically use a standard 120-volt outlet. They can add 2-5 miles of range per hour of charging.
Level 2 Chargers
These are faster than Level 1 chargers and typically use a 240-volt outlet, similar to a clothes dryer or oven. They can add 10-25 miles of range per hour of charging.
DC Fast Chargers
These are the fastest type of charger available, they can charge an EV battery to 80% in 30 minutes. They use direct current (DC) power and require specialized equipment and installation.
Wireless Charging
This technology uses electromagnetic fields to transfer energy between the charging station and the vehicle.
Fast Charging
Drivers who choose a home charging point benefit from faster charge times, providing up 32A of current as opposed to 13A from a standard socket.
