Welcome to the electric vehicle lifestyle. You now have access to a variety of benefits that only an EV can offer, from no more trips to the Miami gas pump to less maintenance needs to a more sustainable driving experience on Doral roads and beyond. But as a newcomer to EVs, you may have some questions, chief among them: What are the charging levels for an EV? It’s no secret that you need to keep an EV like the Kona Electric or IONIQ 6 properly charged to maintain its performance, and you have three charging levels to choose from: Level 1 EV chargers, Level 2 EV chargers, and Level 3/DC Fast Chargers. Doral Hyundai explains them all in detail below.
Level 1 EV chargers are the most convenient. You can easily charge at home using a standard 120-volt outlet. But keep in mind that this is the slowest of the three available charging levels. Here are some other important things to know about Level 1 EV chargers:
You can find Level 2 EV chargers at public stations in Hialeah and throughout the area. You can also have a Level 2 EV charger installed at home, but because of Level 2’s greater energy needs, a licensed electrician must take care of the installation work. Check out some features of Level 2 charging:
So, what is the charging level for an EV when time is of the essence? Look no further than a Level 3/DC Fast Charger. These chargers are only available in select public stations, as they have sizable energy requirements. But they can get your EV charged up in the blink of an eye. Let’s take a look at some DC Fast Charging facts:
