Why install a Level 2 charger?

Three words: Fast. Affordable. Easy.

Level 2 EV charging is cheaper | As of August 2024, the average American pays $0.16 cents per kilowatt-hour in at-home electricity. With an average battery size of 40 kWh, a full charge could cost $6.00-6.40 at home. A public Level 2 charging station typically costs $1 to $5 an hour, translating to $0.20 to $0.25 per kWh. For Level 3 or DC fast charging, a full charge can cost anywhere from $10 to $30, equivalent to $0.40 to $0.60 per kWh. We aren’t mathletes, but home charging brings big savings!

Level 2 EV charging is faster and easier | Faulty or busy public charging stations. Lack of DC fast chargers nearby. Tackling these roadblocks alters your already busy day. A charging station at your home, apartment, hotel, or business lets you plug in while you eat, sleep, work, and play.

Comparing Level 1 and Level 2 EV charging stations.

The more power a charger supplies, the faster your EV battery will charge. A standard wall outlet outputs 120 volts. This is considered Level 1. The typical charging time at Level 1 is approximately 40-50 hours. Level 2 charging stations offer charging through 240 volts. Typical Level 2 charging time is 4-10 hours to charge fully.

Adding a 240v circuit and Level 2 or 3 charger to your home or business gives you anytime access to fast charging, adds value to your property, and attracts traffic. As EVs gain popularity, an EV charger is a bonus to a home buyer, potential renter, or customer.
