Installing a Home EV Charger
Today, electric cars are popular and may completely replace gasoline. You should be able to charge these cars whenever you want without the hassle and worry of charging them. In this situation, accessing an electric car charger and charging this type of car becomes essential.
Every day, we see several electric cars being purchased in Canada, and statistics show that the demand for installing EV chargers at home has increased. Therefore, you must have complete information about them and know the advantages and disadvantages of installing a home EV charger so that you can buy the best charger and choose a reliable company to install it.
Types of EV chargers
Level 1 charger indicates 120V charging using a household power outlet. This charger is known as trickle charging, as it typically provides 3 to 5 miles of range per hour for a plug-in electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle.
Level 2 chargers usually offer 7 or 22 kW power (1 or 3 phase, 32 amps). The charging time is different for each speed unit and vehicle, but a 7 kW charger will charge an electric car in 4 to 6 hours and a 22 kW charger in 1 to 2 hours.
Level 2 chargers are usually installed in parking lots, supermarkets, or entertainment centers, where you are likely to park your electric vehicle for more than 1 hour.
