Types Of EV Chargers
Electric vehicle chargers are not one-size-fits-all solutions. The type of charger you need will depend on your budget, how much you drive on a daily basis, what kind of property you own, and how fast you need to be able to charge your car.
Level 1
A Level 1 charger is an entry-level solution. You likely got one of these with your EV purchase, and they plug directly into a standard wall outlet. These chargers are really only effective for those who drive less than 30 to 40 miles a day. They charge at a rate of about 5 miles per hour, which means that even an overnight charging session will not fill your car all the way
Level 2
When we’re talking about EV charger installation in Tucson, usually we mean Level 2 chargers. They are capable of charging your car overnight in most circumstances. They are faster than Level 1 chargers but require a larger upfront cost. Level 2 chargers plug into 240V outlets, which are typically used for dryers.
Level 3 or DC Fast Charger
A Level 3 charger, also known as a DC fast charger, will bring an EV to a full charge in about half an hour. This is a much more powerful charger than the other two, which is why these are rarely installed in residential locations. However, they may be well-suited to a commercial property.
Why Rely On An Electrician To Install An EV Charger
DIY is risky: While a Level 1 charger can technically plug into a standard outlet, it’s not always safe long term.
Dedicated circuit needed: EV chargers should have their own circuit. Without it, you risk overloading your home’s electrical system.
Panel upgrades may be required: An EV charger increases your energy use - your electrical panel might need more capacity.
Appliance-level impact: Installing a charger is like adding a new appliance; it changes your home’s power demand.
Professional expertise: Volt Viking electricians know exactly what’s required to install your charger safely and correctly.
Peace of mind: We’ll ensure your charger fits your needs, complies with safety standards, and works seamlessly at home or your commercial property.
