EV Charger Installation Options: Level 1 vs Level 2 Chargers

When it comes to installing chargers at home, you have two options: Level 1 and Level 2 chargers. Each type of charger offers different benefits, and the right one for you will depend on your needs, electrical system, and the speed at which you want to charge your electric vehicle. 

Many homes with existing electrical systems can accommodate a Level 2 charger, but older homes with limited electrical capacity may need a panel upgrade for safe and efficient operation. This is particularly important if you plan to install multiple high-power appliances, such as an electric vehicle charger and heat pump or other large system, which may draw a significant amount of power simultaneously.

Level 3 chargers, also known as DC fast chargers, provide rapid charging but are typically found at public charging stations rather than residential homes due to their high power requirements.

Level 1 Charger

A Level 1 charger uses a standard 120V wall outlet, which is often available in most homes. This option provides a slower charge, typically adding about 4-5 miles of range per hour of charging, which makes it a suitable option for overnight charging. While it’s convenient and doesn’t require any major upgrades to your electrical panel, it’s best suited for those who don’t need a fast turnaround on charging times.

Level 2 Charger

Level 2 chargers, on the other hand, use a 240V outlet, which provides a faster charging rate than Level 1 chargers. A Level 2 charger can deliver up to 25 miles of range per hour of charging, making it ideal for those with higher daily driving demands. While this charger type is well-suited for homeowners looking for convenience and faster charging times, it may require an electrical panel upgrade. Luckily, if you need to upgrade to a 200-amp electrical panel, we can help with that!

Cost of Installing an EV Charger in Newfoundland

The price for installing an EV charger is based on various factors, including your home’s electrical system, the type of charger you choose, and any upgrades which might be necessary to ensure safe and efficient operation. For example, a Level 1 charger typically requires minimal work, while a Level 2 charger may require an electrical panel upgrade.

Although installation costs vary, consider the long-term savings from electric mobility and the potential government incentives available in Newfoundland, which can help offset some of the costs.
