EV Charger Types: Finding the Perfect Fit

At Tashlight Electric, we install all major types of EV chargers to accommodate any electric vehicle brand:

  • Level 1 Chargers

These are the most basic and affordable option. They plug into a standard 120-volt outlet and provide a slow charge, ideal for overnight charging at home.

  • Level 2 Chargers

These are the most common type of home EV charger. They are hardwired to your electrical panel and provide a faster charge than Level 1 chargers, typically taking several hours to fully charge your vehicle.

  • DC Fast Chargers

These are high-powered chargers typically found at public charging stations. They can provide a very rapid charge in a matter of minutes, ideal for topping off your battery on long trips.

We can help you choose the right charger type based on your:

  • Vehicle’s charging capabilities: Different EVs have different charging speeds.
  • Driving habits: If you primarily drive short distances, a Level 2 charger might be sufficient. For longer commutes, a DC fast charging option might be beneficial.
  • Budget: Level 1 chargers are the most affordable, while DC fast chargers are the most expensive.

level 2  EV charging stations

How Fast Do Home EV Chargers Charge?

Electric vehicles (EVs) have three different types of charging stations: Level 1, Level 2, and Direct Current (DC).

Most electric drivers will be able to charge their vehicles overnight at a Level 2 residential charging station and be ready to travel the next day.

 

Level 2  EV Charging Stations

The maximum power output of level 2 charging stations is 22 kW. A Tesla Model 3 can be completely charged at a charging station in around three hours and 45 minutes at 22 kW. Depending on your area, level 2 charging stations are perfect for usage at home since they provide an EV with the greatest amount of power without expensive infrastructure changes.

There are variations, as there are with any hardware, though. The power output of the residential location, the kind of EV, and the charging port type—1-phase, 3-phase, and whether they offer 16 A or 32 A—all affect how quickly EVs can be charged at home.

This is a summary of how long it will take to charge a Tesla Model 3 to help you better understand the various charging rates for a Level 2 charging station.

Regardless of the chosen EV charging station, installation must be done by a licensed electrician.

 

EV Charger Installation Costs in North Vancouver: What to Expect

The EV charger install costs vary depending on the station you select and the local infrastructure. The most affordable chargers to purchase and install are residential types.

Fast and commercial chargers’ costs are higher than others. Electric vehicle chargers will be installed by our licensed electricians. In addition, depending on where your chargers will be placed, you may need to take into account the expenses of adding heavy-duty electrical outlets, potential grid upgrades, optional wall mounts, and wiring. Residential installations often cost the least, however, commercial installations cost more.
