Types of EV Charger Installs
Level 1 EV Charger Installation
Uses a standard 120V household outlet. Ideal for overnight charging but relatively slow—suitable for low-mileage vehicle use. One hour of charging provides approximately 8km of driving range.
Level 2 EV Charger Installation
The most common home and business installation: 240V, with faster charging (typically 20–40km per hour range). Needs a dedicated circuit and ESA inspection. One hour of charging provides approximately 30km of driving range.
Level 3 EV Charger Installation
DC fast charging (400 V+). Perfect for commercial or fleet use, offering rapid top-ups. Requires significant infrastructure and utility coordination.
