Charging speeds for electric vehicles depend primarily on the battery’s size and the charging stations’ speed. An EV’s onboard charger may also limit the maximum charging speed. The time to fully charge the EV’s battery can range from 30 minutes to 12+ hours. The larger the battery and the slower the charging point, the longer it takes to charge it from empty to full.

For this reason, many drivers top up their charge throughout the day instead of waiting for their battery to reach its lowest point. There are three types of EV charging speeds, including:

Level 1 Charger

This type of charger comes with most electric vehicles and operates from a standard 110-volt AC wall outlet. Unfortunately, the charge rate is only 4-5 miles per hour. This is not fast enough for most drivers, so they prefer installing a level 2 charger.

Level 2 Charger

The level 2 charger runs on 240-volt AC and can charge at a speed of 25 miles per hour. At this rate, an EV battery can fully charge overnight. Unless you already have a 240-volt outlet installed on your property, you must add one before using this charger.

Level 3 Charger

Also known as DC fast charging, these charging stations require a 200 to 600-volt DC. Many high-powered stations can charge a battery from empty to full in under an hour. These chargers are typically only used for commercial properties.

A professional should install electric vehicle charging stations. This will ensure your unit is installed correctly and set up for long-term performance. Generally, the installation process only takes a few hours to complete, depending on the type of charger being installed and the complexity of the installation.
