A Level 1 charger uses a standard 120-volt household outlet, providing a slower charging speed, suitable for overnight top-ups for plug-in hybrids or EVs with smaller batteries. A Level 2 charger, however, requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit, similar to what an electric dryer uses, and significantly speeds up the charging process, making it ideal for daily use with most electric vehicles. Installation of a Level 2 charger involves a professional assessment of your electrical panel and wiring. This upgrade ensures safe and efficient charging.
