Types of EV Chargers
Types of EV Chargers
Electric vehicles have three types of chargers available: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 charging capability. To understand the differences between these three levels of charging and where each level is usually found, continue reading. It's worth noting that charging times are approximate estimates since electric vehicles do not charge at a consistent rate. It's important to keep in mind that the charging times provided by major automobile manufacturers cannot be verified with current technology.
Level 1
Level 1 charging generally refers to using a standard three-pronged power outlet, which you may have in your home or workplace. It is a slow charging option and is less commonly used because of the extended time it takes to charge a vehicle. However, if you only need to charge your vehicle for short distances, such as 20-30 miles, while you’re at work, level 1 charging can be a useful option.
Level 2
A lot of electric vehicle owners find it more convenient to use level 2 charging stations both at home and in public places. Level 2 chargers supply 240 volts of electricity and need an external device that can be connected to any receptacle that's able to provide a 40 amp circuit.
Level 3
Level 3 charging, also referred to as DC fast charging, is the most expeditious method for charging electric vehicles. These chargers can only be found in public charging stations and typically cost between 40 cents and 60 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh), or $10 to $30 per full charge.
Nissan FAQs
Yes, with Level 1 charging you can use a traditional power outlet to charge your vehicle.
Depending on the level of charging, a full charge can take 30 minutes (Level 3/DC fast charging) or half a day.
The important thing to note is that Level 2 chargers require 40 amps. For instance, you can plug a Level 2 charger into a receptacle like an electric clothes dryer.
The different levels refer to various power levels of each charging capability. Level 1 is the least powerful and Level 3 is the most powerful but it typically costs money to use at public charging stations.
While it may cost far less than fueling a car with gasoline, no matter if you charge your car at home or use a DC fast charger, you will be paying for electricity. At home, the price will depend on your electricity bill, whereas public charging ports will often charge you before you can use them.
According to the United States Department of Energy Alternative Fuels Data Center, there are about 50,000 public charging stations in the US. It is important to know that these are individual stations and the number of charging ports (including at-home chargers) is far greater.
