FAQ

• Level 1: Uses a regular 120V outlet, slow charging speed.
• Level 2: Uses a 240V outlet, offering faster charging than Level 1.
• DC Fast Charging: Delivers a high-voltage DC current directly to the vehicle’s battery, providing the fastest charging.

Charging times vary by charger type, battery capacity, and state of charge, ranging from a few hours to several hours.

Most EV chargers are compatible with all EVs, but the connector type (J1772 or CCS) must match the vehicle.

Installation costs vary, but typically range from $500 to $2,000, depending on the complexity of the installation.

Many governments offer rebates, tax credits, or incentives to encourage the installation of EV chargers.

Most EV chargers have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years with proper maintenance.

Yes, EV chargers are weather-resistant and can be used in rain or snow, but the equipment should be kept dry.

AC charging uses an onboard charger to convert AC to DC, while DC charging delivers DC directly to the battery, allowing faster charging.

Yes, but it depends on the number of charging stations and the available power supply.
