EV Chargers

HomElectrical carries a range of EV chargers for both electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle owners. Ev charging requires a cable and a port, just like a phone charger.

EV Chargers come in three charging levels with higher levels meaning faster charge rates. Though considered time consuming, level 1 charging use a standard 120V household outlet. Level 2 charging is ideal for most home charging stations and pulls electrical currents ranging from 208V to 240V. Since Level 3 charging is way too energy consuming, it's not advised for most home setups.

They are also designed with special features to ease your charging routine. Some of these features include:

• Wi-Fi/Bluetooth enabled
• Surge suppression
• Voltage range 208-240 VAC
• 25 ft. cable (NEMA cable in select EV chargers)
• Built in digital screen
• 8 AMP to 48 AMP current adjustability

How long it takes to charge an EV depends on different factors, such as your vehicle’s battery size, charging capacity, as well as a number of other situational factors. But, to give you an idea, here's a quick overview of average charging time estimates for a medium-sized EV:

• Level 1 (AC): About 19 hours
• Level 2 (AC): Between 1h 45 min - 6h
• Level 3 (DC): Between 17 min - 52 min

When charging at home, the cost per kWh is the same as your household electricity rate, making it the most economical way to charge your EV. As of March 2024, the average electricity cost in America is $16.68 cents per kWh, according to the Energy Information Administration.

Other factors that influence the cost of charging your electric vehicle include the size of the battery, your charging schedule, and the level of the charger selected. Knowing these costs helps you budget effectively for your EV charging needs.
