Some electric vehicles are equipped with a Level I charger which allows you to plug into a regular 120-V outlet for recharging which often requires 18 hours of charging to fully charge the battery.

A Level II charger is a charging system for vehicles which makes use of a 240-V circuit and can deliver far more power to the battery in a much shorter period of time. When you use this kind of Level II charger, that 18-hour recharging session could be reduced to as little as three hours, and it will be no problem to have your battery completely recharged while you sleep overnight.

It will also minimize your dependence on public charging stations, and you might be able to completely eliminate them altogether, once you have your home system installed. If your local area sometimes provides off-peak electricity rates, you’ll be able to take advantage of these times to charge your battery, as opposed to being charged full price at public stations.

It won’t take long for you to realize that your Level II charger performs much better than a standard charger. It will be a smooth process to install an electric charger in your garage or somewhere close to your driveway, where it will be close to your car.
