Which EV Charger Is Right For Your Home?

Types Of EV Chargers
1
Level 1 EV Charging
Level 1 EV charging uses a standard 120-volt household outlet and requires no special charging equipment. While convenient, it is the slowest charging option and can take up to 20 hours or more to fully charge an electric vehicle. Level 1 charging is best suited for occasional use, plug-in hybrids, or drivers with shorter daily commutes.
2
Level 2 EV Charging
Level 2 EV chargers use a dedicated 240-volt circuit installed by a licensed electrician. This is the most popular home EV charging solution because it can fully charge most electric vehicles in as little as 4 to 8 hours. Homeowners throughout Hamilton, Stoney Creek, Burlington, Ancaster, and surrounding areas choose Level 2 EV charger installation for faster charging, greater convenience, and reliable daily use.

Level 3 DC Fast Charging
Level 3 chargers, also known as DC Fast Chargers, are primarily found at commercial properties, fleet facilities, and public charging stations. These high-powered charging systems can charge most EVs to approximately 80% in under 30 minutes, making them ideal for businesses and drivers who require rapid charging. Due to their power requirements, DC fast chargers typically require specialized commercial electrical infrastructure.
