Types of EV Charging Ports
The following EV charging ports are the two most common ports used in electric cars in North America. More than likely your vehicle will use one of these ports. Our charger selection includes chargers with both port options.

Levels of EV Chargers
Level 2 chargers are the ideal solution for home charging.
Level 1
Electric vehicles typically come with level one chargers, which are low amperage chargers that can be plugged into a standard wall outlet for charging. However, these chargers are slow and inefficient, typically only adding up to 5 miles of range per hour. While they can be used as a temporary solution for charging your vehicle at home, they are not a practical long-term solution.
Level 2
The Level 2 electric car charger is the most commonly installed type in homes today. These chargers are highly efficient and can charge a significant number of miles per hour, with an average of 25 miles charged per hour. However, it's important to note that installing a Level 2 charger requires professional hardwired installation, as it involves upsized wiring and amperage loads that are directly wired into your electrical panel. Failure to assess your electrical service capability and existing electrical load before installation can lead to safety hazards and unreliable electrical performance in your home.
Level 3
Level 3 chargers are meant for commercial use and consume a lot more power than what is available in residential households. These chargers are commonly found at Tesla Supercharger stations and have the ability to charge vehicles at a rapid pace. However, they require a substantial amount of Direct Current (DC) power, which is not compatible with the Alternating Current (AC) power supply found in homes. Due to this, we do not currently install this type of charger for residential properties.
