What Are the Different Types of Car Chargers?

As we mentioned earlier, electric car charging times vary, depending upon what type of charger you’re using. Syosset drivers will have 3 different types of chargers available to them. So, how long does it take to charge an electric vehicle for each type of charger on average? Let’s find out! 

1. LEVEL 1 Domestic Charging: Most EVs, like the EQS, come standard with a LEVEL 1 home charger. These can be plugged into a normal 110V/120V three-pronged outlet. While you can expect them to take several days to fully charge your vehicle, they’re not intended to be your sole source of charging. Rather, they’re great for building a background charge while you sleep or lounge around the house, cutting down the time you’ll spend at public stations!
2. LEVEL 2 Domestic Charging: Level 2 Charging requires an electrician to install a 240V+ outlet in your garage and wire it directly to your power panel. It’s also possible that you’ll need to upgrade your power panel, but it’s worth it. These chargers can fully charge your vehicle in just half a day. What’s more, you can use any number of tax rebates and incentives for EV drivers to fund the installation!
3. Public Charging: Public charging stations are available with Level 2 charging or Level 3 DC fastcharging. Level 2 chargers provide similar charging speeds to their domestic counterparts. Level DC fastchargers, however, can charge your EQS from 10% to 80% in just 31 minutes!
