Electric Vehicles are becoming more desirable and accessible for the common household. Choosing your home charger installation is an important decision you make when purchasing an EV.

There are 2 levels of chargers that are suited for households:

AC Level 1
- Requires a 20 amp single receptacle that is dedicated to only
charging your vehicle
- For a fully charged battery - 12-20 hours of charging. For a hybrid - 6-12 hours. This will also depend on kAh rating of battery
For every hour it charges you can drive 8 KM

AC Level 2
- Requires a connection to a 240 volt outlet
- For every hour it charges you can drive 30 KM
- For a fully charged battery - 6-14 hours of charging. For a hybrid
4-8 hours. This will also depend on kAh rating of battery

Here are the questions to consider when choosing a charger level to install:

- Which of the 2 levels will best suit my purposes?
- How many amps can my electrical service panel supply?
- How many amps are required by my vehicle’s manual?
- Do I have a 240 volt circuit already installed and is it usable? If
not, is there space in my electrical service panel for one?
- Where do I want my charging station to be installed?

Consider an electrical contractor that has EV Infrastructure Certification.
