How do Level 1 chargers work?

Level 1 chargers are the chargers that often come with your electric vehicle. And they plug into 120-volt outlets. This is the same outlet you would plug your phone charger into. Level 1 chargers add range very slowly to your EV.

How do level 2 chargers work?

Level 2 chargers, on the other hand, will often require installation. They plug into 240-volt outlets. These are the outlets used for the typical dryer or air conditioning unit. Level 2 chargers add more than 30 miles of range per hour. For the average electric vehicle, this means it will take between 4 and 5 hours to get to full charge.

Lectrium will arrange the installation of a Level 2 charger for you in a simple and seamless way!
