Electric Vehicle (EV) Chargers
We have included fixed pricing for Level 2 EV chargers.
Electric vehicles (EV’s) use electricity, instead of gasoline, to power an electric motor. EV’s have large on-board batteries to store electric power, which are recharged by EV chargers.
Currently, there are three categories of EV Chargers:
- Level 1
- Level 2
- Level 3 (or DC Fast Charging)
Level 1
Level 1 chargers use the standard 120 volt electrical outlet. Usual charge of 3-5 mile drive range per hour.
Level 2
Level 2 chargers use a 240 volt electrical outlet. They require an installation from a professional electrician. Usual charge of 10-20 mile drive range per hour.
Level 3 (DC Fast Charger)
Level 3 chargers, known as DC Fast Chargers, allow for a much faster charge than Level 1 or 2. However, they require a much more extensive and costly electrical infrastructure, and are typically only found in large public transportation hubs. Usual charge of 80% in about 30 minutes.
