EV CHARGING LEVELS
You can charge an EV using three standard charging levels. Each one has a different amount of power – and its own distinct benefits. Discover them all and find out how they fit your life.
Level 1 charging
>24 hours
Power up your EV without installing extra equipment. Level 1 chargers plug into a common household outlet – always a good option to have. [[1103]]
Level 2 charging
10.5–14 hours
Get a good night’s sleep. Level 2 chargers have twice as much power, and work best if you can plug in overnight. These are purchased separately for home installation, and they’re often found in public. [[1127]]
Level 3 charging
35–40 minutes
The fastest and most powerful out there. Level 3 chargers work with most EV models and replenish your battery in 30 minutes to an hour. Plug in and enjoy a quick coffee before getting back on the road. [[1127]]
How to charge different types of Evs
The electric vehicle charging process could look slightly different depending on which makes and models you’re considering. With manufacturer-specific charging inlets on many EVs, your car will require a specific connector type to properly charge. Some of the most common EV charging fast charging connectors include:
Combined charging system (CCS) connector
Using the universal J1772 charging inlet with two additional high-speed charging pins, the combined charging system (CCS) connector is standard in North America and Europe. The CCS connector can be used for fast charging, and nearly every car manufacturer in the country has agreed to use it in their electric vehicles. Some of the most common EVs that utilize a CCS connector include the BMW i3, the Ford Focus Electric and the Chevrolet Bolt. Nissan’s all-new Nissan ARIYA® will also be compatible with the CCS connector. [[1619]]
CHAdeMO connector
CHAdeMO connectors were designed in Japan for fast and efficient electric vehicle charging. In North America, Nissan LEAF® uses the innovative CHAdeMO connector on their vehicles.
North American Charging Standard (NACS)
NACS is a charging system used in North America, it is the primary charging system used by Tesla Superchargers. It is being adopted by other charging stations as more vehicles start to become equipped with NACS charging ports. NACS is also referred to as SAE J3400. [[2341]][[2342]][[2343]]
