Charging 101
Plug-in electric vehicles can be charged using standard outlets (110V), which are called Level 1 charging. They can also be charged at Level 2 stations (240V), or at DC Fast Charge stations (480V).
Level 1 charging will charge a vehicle completely in 8 to 17 hours, depending on the size of the battery in the vehicle.
At a Level 2 station most vehicles will be fully charged in 4-10 hours. This 240V power is common in residential and commercial properties, also used for high energy-consuming appliances such as clothes dryers, heating/cooling, and cooking.
Finally, DC Fast Charging provides highest speed EV charging, capable of charging at 150+ kW speeds for larger battery vehicles (e.g. Medium and Heavy-Duty vehicles) or fast turnaround applications (e.g. en route charging).
