EV Charger Installation

There are three types of EV charging stations.

Level 1 Charging Station

This is the most standard version of charging station. It can be plugged into any standard three-pong outlet. The benefit of this station is that it does not require installation. The downside is that it charges very slowly. This is the type of charger where you would leave your electric vehicle charging overnight as it can take up to 20 hours to fully charge your vehicle’s battery.

Level 2 Charging Station

If you need to charge your battery more than just overnight, you might want to go with a more advanced electric battery charging station. This level requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit. The level 2 will charge much faster than the level 1, but it also requires a professional Winnipeg electrician to install it. It can charge a battery in about three hours. When purchasing your vehicle, try to get a level 2 charging station included with the purchase as opposed to what they normally give, which is the level 1.

Level 3 Charging Station

Obviously this is the most powerful of the three types and is what you would find at a public charging station as opposed to a residential property. Usually these take about half an hour to add around 250 kms of driving. Apart from being super expensive, these charging stations need an industrial-level power draw.
