What Are the Electric Vehicle Charger Types?

When it comes to charging your electric vehicle, you have different options for charge time and location preference to where you charge your EV. There are at-home charging solutions and public charge stations. The charger types include:

Level 1 Charger (Standard Household Plug)

A Level 1 charger gets used with a 120V AC standard outlet, providing around 3 miles of range per hour that you have your EV charging. This has the slowest charging time out of the 3 options.

Level 2 Charger (Fixed Charger)

The middle charging time option is Level 2 charging that’s both an at-home and public charging option. You get more driving range per hour of charging with Level 2 charging, around 15 to 48 miles.

Level 3 Charger (Charging Station)

If you want the fastest charging time for your EV, that’s Level 3 charging or DC fast charging. In less than an hour you can get around 75% charge. These chargers are found at public charging stations.

How Do I Charge My Lexus EV At Home?

You can charge your Lexus electric vehicle at home in two convenient ways: EVSE cable or a wall-mount charger.

What is an EVSE cable? An EVSE cable is Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) cable that you can plug into your EV and into a 120V AC standard wall outlet at home.

What is a wall-mount charger? You can also charge your electric car with a L2 EVSE that is a wall-mounted charger. A wall-mounted charger gets connected to a 240V outlet, or a professionally installed charger that gets wired into your house. This option provides a faster charge time.

Charging Tips for Your Electric Vehicle

When it comes to charging your EV, there are some tips to keep in mind to ensure that your ownership experience goes smoothly and that you get the most life out of your car’s battery.

• Have a target charge between 25% and 75% to preserve the life of the battery. This is also a great way to avoid large charging fees.
• While Level 3 charging is the quickest charging option, try and keep it minimum to get the most life out of your EV’s battery, especially in extreme temperatures. Consider using a Level 1 or Level 2 charger more.
• Slower driving helps preserve the battery. The faster you drive your vehicle, the more it drains the battery.
