What is a Home Electric Car Charging System?
Electric vehicles require an electric charging station. Pretty simple. Just think of your garage as your own gas station – just without the gas station burritos and mega 100 oz. sodas.
Additionally, there’s no “one-size fits all” for home car charging stations. You have a choice on which electric car charger you would like installed. There are three levels on the market of EV chargers and it’s important to choose the right one for your needs.
A Level 3 charger is the standalone device you see at public charging stations. These can add 160 miles of driving range to an EV’s batteries in about half an hour. However, these are not available to homeowners.

Types of EV Chargers
The charging current for a Level 1 is about the same as a standard blow dryer, so it won’t put a burden on your existing electrical service.
Level 1 chargers require no installation, BUT it does charge vehicle batteries very slowly. These Level 1 EV chargers are best suited for overnight usage. It can take 10-20 hours or more to fully charge your car’s battery with a Level 1 EV charger.
This dedicated circuit is similar to your 240-volt electric dryer circuit.
A growing number of EV manufacturers are now including a Level 2 charger standard with each new electric car purchase. Why? Because they’re lightning-fast compared to a Level 1 charger. The typical full-charge time for a Level 2 is 4-8 hours.
