Electric Vehicle Charging Station Types
Level 1 Charging
Especially useful for plug-in hybrid models and virtually all EVs, Level 1 EVSE is the first type of charging solution that we’d like to highlight. Usually included as standard with the purchase of a new PHEV or EV model, these chargers can be used with a typical 120-volt AC plug commonly found in your household. While practical for their ease of use, Level 1 chargers are intended mostly for plug-in hybrids in overnight charging situations as it adds roughly 2 to 5 miles of range per hour of charging time. Another advantage of Level 1 charging is the fact that no specialized equipment is required aside from a dedicated branch circuit. They’re also a suitable backup for a dedicated EV due to their portability and convenience.
Level 2 Charging
Searching for the ultimate solution for keeping your new EV charged up and ready for your next adventure? Level 2 charging stations can be installed in your driveway or garage provided there is access to a 240V AC outlet. Ideal for daily driving, Level 2 charging can add between approximately 10 or 60 miles of range to your vehicle per hour of charge time. It is important to remember that Level 2 charging does need a dedicated electrical circuit of 20 to 100 amps along with some other specialized equipment.
The good news is that most residential homes typically have 240V service for larger appliances including electric ranges, electric dryers, or air conditioners. This is the main reason that you should consult a licensed electrician since your home charging station must comply with local, state, and national codes and regulations. Most commonly, home charging stations are installed inside a garage. However, there are options for installing freestanding outdoor stations available on the market as well.
Level 3 Charging
Finally, many Kia EV models benefit from their ability to take advantage of a Level 3 charging station. Typically located in high-traffic areas, along highways, large shopping retailers, or office complexes -- these are the ultimate option for charging as fast as possible. Also known as 480V DC Fast Chargers, it’s now more possible than ever before to experience what it’s like to take a long-distance road trip using solely electric power. With an ever-expanding network of DC Fast Charging stations, the future of all-electric travel has never been brighter.
