EV charger

If you’re taking the plunge and buying your first electric car, pickup or SUV, you’ll also want to buy and install a Level 2 home charger.

There are things to think about when you pick a Level 2 EV charger, but the value in one is straightforward. For the vast majority of drivers, Level 2 will limit and probably eliminate reliance on a public charging station, and it will remove the anxiety that goes with finding an unoccupied public charger when you need it. Just about any Level 2 charger should fully charge your electric vehicle’s battery overnight, even if the battery is nearly depleted.

A Level 2, 240-volt home charger will charge your electric car much much faster than the Level 1 charger that comes with the vehicle. There are more Level 2 chargers to choose from each month, and they might be less expensive than you’d guess. Set up and installation don’t have to be complicated or expensive, either, depending on your circumstances. Many Level 2 EV chargers can be plugged into an outlet just like the Level 1, which comes with your car. Others can be hard-wired into household electrical if that’s the better option for your purposes. Many have their own phone apps to manage charging and minimize cost.
