Voltage and Power: Level 1 chargers operate on a standard 120-volt household outlet, A Level 1 will deliver around 1.2 kW to the vehicle
Charging Speed: This level adds approximately 2 to 5 miles of driving range per hour of charging.
Usage: Ideal for overnight charging at home, especially for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) or for EV owners with low daily mileage.
Key Advantages:
✅ No need for professional installation (compatible with standard household outlets)
✅ Equipment cost close to zero (standard in car purchase)
✅ Low power characteristics to protect the long-term health of the battery
Voltage and Power: Level 2 chargers utilize a 240-volt outlet, Level 2 charger ranges from 6.2 to 19.2 kW, with most chargers around 7.6 kW.
Charging Speed: They can add 32 miles of driving range per hour of charging.
Usage: Commonly found in homes, workplaces, and public charging stations, Level 2 chargers are suitable for daily charging needs and are often installed in residential garages or parking areas.
Technological Breakthroughs:
🔌 Intelligent charging management (supports time-of-use tariff optimization)
🔌 OCPP protocol compatibility (for commercial operation scenarios)
🔌 Dynamic load balancing (simultaneous charging of multiple devices)
Voltage and Power: DC Fast Chargers operate at 480 volts, delivering between 60 kW and 400 kW of power.
Charging Speed: They can add 173 to 298 miles of driving range in just one hour of charging.
Usage: Primarily located in public charging stations along highways and in urban areas, DC Fast Chargers are designed for quick top-ups during long trips.
Selecting the appropriate charging level depends on several factors:
