Advantages of a Level 2 EV Charger
Faster Charging Speeds
- Level 2 chargers typically provide a charging rate of 10-60 miles of range per hour, depending on the EV and charger capacity. This makes them ideal Electric Vehicle Chargers.
- In contrast, Level 1 chargers (which use a standard 120V outlet) add only about 3-5 miles of range per hour. This means you can fully charge most EVs overnight or within a few hours, making it more practical for daily use.
Convenience
- With faster charging, your EV is ready to go in less time, reducing the need for planning around long charging sessions.
- Ideal for households with multiple EVs or for drivers who frequently commute long distances. Electric Vehicle Chargers provide significant convenience.
Home Installation Feasibility
- Level 2 chargers can be installed at home, using a 240V outlet or a dedicated circuit. This allows for overnight charging and eliminates the need to rely on public Electric Vehicle Chargers.
Public Charging Accessibility
- Many public charging stations are Level 2, making it easier to top up your battery during errands or while at work.
Enhanced Energy Efficiency
- Level 2 chargers often operate more efficiently than Level 1 chargers, which can reduce energy loss during charging.
Better for Larger Battery EVs
- As EVs with larger battery capacities become more common, a Level 2 charger ensures you can charge these batteries in a reasonable timeframe.
Smart Features
- Many Level 2 chargers come with smart capabilities, such as:
- Scheduling charges to align with off-peak electricity rates.
- Monitoring energy use.
- Remote operation via mobile apps.
Future-Proofing
- As EV adoption increases and battery sizes grow, a Level 2 charger is a more future-proof Electric Vehicle Charger than a Level 1 charger.
- While Level 2 chargers are more expensive upfront due to equipment and potential electrical upgrades, their speed, convenience, and long-term usability make them a popular choice for most EV owners.
