EV Chargers: 3 Different Types & How They Work
Level 1 Charger
A Level 1 Charger uses 120 volts of power and is the slowest way to charge. It comes with most EVs for free as a basic charger for standard outlets. Depending on the EV, it can take more than 24 hours to reach full charge from empty.

Level 2 Charger
A Level 2 charger uses 240 volts of power and charges an EV from empty to full in around 8 hours. Level 2 chargers are available for private home charging and are also found as public charging stations.

Level 3 Charger (DC Fast Charger)
A DC Fast Charger uses between 200 and 600 volts of power and is the fastest way to charge an EV. This charger is only for public charging — not for the home. DC Fast Chargers can typically charge a car from 20% to 80% in around 20-40 minutes.

1. Fast Acceleration Uses More Battery
Just like how maintaining a constant speed can help you get the best mpg for gas-powered cars, the same can be said for an EV. When driving, try to keep a constant speed and avoid quick acceleration.
2. Keep Weather Conditions in Mind
When the weather is hot or cold and you have the heat or AC on, you're using the battery. Try to use your HVAC system as little as possible. EV batteries can also be affected by cold weather, which could cause you to lose up to 12% of your full range.
3. Regenerative Braking Charges Your EV
Here’s the good news: Braking and keeping off the pedal can help charge your battery. As current is created from braking, it generates as electricity to charge your EV. That means the more you brake, the more you will charge your EV.More Charging Resources
