It’s becoming a collective experience for all petrol/diesel drivers now, getting left for dust as an electric car zooms past with ease. This collective humbling has led us down the road to getting an electric car. So, an EV charging point is needed now.
Level 1 Charging
This is your basic charger, typically included when you purchase your electric vehicle. It uses a standard household plug, a regular 3-pin 240v, which will trickle charge the car. Because of the low charge rate, it will usually take 24 hours or more to charge most fully electric vehicles. It’s great for topping up your EV overnight or if you’re using your vehicle for short, local trips.
Level 2 Charging
Now, we are stepping up the game with Level 2 Charging with a 7kW single-phase charger. This setup is what the majority of customers will have, striking the perfect balance between speed and efficiency. It’s typically fast enough to fully charge your vehicle overnight on economic EV tariffs, making it a popular choice for everyday driving requirements. This type of charger stands out as the go-to option for home installations, providing an optimal blend of charging speed and affordability.
Level 3 Charging
These robust units utilise a 3-phase supply, typically found in settings such as farms, substantial properties, or small businesses, to provide an impressive 22kW of power. Designed for those who demand swift and efficient charging capabilities, Level 3 chargers offer a significantly faster charging solution, ideal for environments where downtime isn’t an option.
There are different kinds of charging stations, each with its own set of advantages and drawbacks. The perfect one for you really hinges on what you’re looking for—like the type of car you drive, how often you’re on the road, and what you’re comfortable spending. Our team is here to help you figure out the best charger for your vehicle. Let’s chat about what you need!
