Know Your Charging Options

Level 1 chargers can be used with a standard household outlet and provide 2 to 5 miles or range per hour, which is good for plug-in hybrids but EVs need more power at home
Level 2 chargers are installed by a certified electrician, and can charge 10-20 miles of range per hour, which is good for those at home or work who can leave their vehicle for a longer stretch of the day or night
Level 3 fast chargers are the most efficient, and can provide 60-80 miles of range in 20 minutes for when you're on the go
